I don’t know if you know this, but 10 years ago I left my job with nothing.

I don’t know if you know this, but 10 years ago I left my job with nothing.

I’d spent the previous 18 months working for Andy Harrington's NLP training company, and I’d seen first hand what it took to build a business that not only made money, but also made a real difference.


But after years of studying personal development with the likes of Tony Robbins, David Shephard, and many others, I felt the time had finally come for me to ‘go it alone’.


Sidenote: In business, I think it’s always important to part company on good terms. Andy and I are still great friends to this day - I was one of the ‘best men’ at his wedding and we’re in the same Mastermind :-)


Anyway...


In 2008 I set up my first business as a freelance copywriter.


It was harder than I’d imagined.


Early mornings.


Late nights.


I took every online marketing course I could find, desperately trying to get some clients so I could pay the bills.


To cut a long story short, I somehow managed to grind out just over £50k in sales in my first year.


Life was GOOD!


Then in March 2009, I got a call from my number one client.


This guy was paying me a retainer of £3k/mo. In other words, that one contract made up over half of my annual income.


He thanked me for all my hard work, but explained that he’d decided to cancel our contract.


To make matters worse, my fiancée was 7 months pregnant with our first child… and I had a wedding to pay for just 6 months later!


WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS?


Because I know there are coaches, consultants, speakers, trainers, authors, who are struggling right now, just like I was.


The good news?


Getting your business to the £50k-£100k mark (and beyond) is actually way easier than you think.


In fact, after losing over half my income with that one contract, I managed to make my next £50k in just 5 months!


Since then, I’ve built FOUR separate ‘expert’ businesses that have generated over £10million in sales.


More importantly, I’ve helped literally thousands of coaches and consultants to get their businesses up to, and beyond, £100k a year.


Many have broken into multi-six-figures, and some are doing £1m/yr+.


But what I've realised is, you can't just jump from zero to £1m/yr overnight.


And anyone who says you can, is full of it.


Yes - it's possible to achieve that kind of success of a period of a few years, but it all starts with a few simple steps to get your business off the ground.


At Expert Empires we’ve got sessions designed specifically for:


Experts who are just getting started, and want to get to make their first £50k as quickly as possible.


Coaches and Consultants who are already making a full-time income, but want to start working ‘one to many’ to allow them to serve more people AND make £100k+


And…


Six figure businesses who want to scale and grow to multi-six - and eventually - seven figures.


Over two days you’ll learn directly from myself, Ed Mylett, Trent Shelton, as well as a whole host of men and women who have built highly successful businesses as Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors.
