I still resell items on eBay. I absolutely love going to thrift stores to see what gems I can find and flip for fairly large profits. It’s more of a hobby to me than a business, even though I do consistently make pretty good money doing so. The income generated is just an added bonus.

I run a handful of other niche/authority websites with the goal of growing them slowly over time, similar to how I did with my main website.

I run a Shopify store that I’m also trying to build and grow.

I have multiple books published on the Amazon Kindle platform that bring in passive income each month. You won’t find them through search, however, because they’re all written under pen names. 

I also sell new items on eBay via dropshipping. In a nutshell, you can find items on different websites that are selling at a certain price point. Then, you list them for sale on eBay at a higher price. When someone purchases the item from you on eBay, you go back to the website, order the item, and have it shipped directly to the customer from eBay. You earn the difference as a profit. I have outsourced this entire process to the hard-working virtual assistants on my team. 

After graduating from college, I worked as a Registered Respiratory Therapist for two years. The job itself was fine, working in the medical field and all, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I wasn’t truly happy. Sure, it was rewarding being able to help patients in need, but I knew I was never going to truly feel fulfilled until I was my own boss. Working night shift, where there is usually some downtime in the hospital, gave me extra time to build my online business to the point that I could finally take the plunge and leave my job for good. 

I graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2013 with a degree in Exercise Science (Hotty Toddy). Admittingly, I care way too much about the outcome of sporting events concerning Ole Miss. I’m aware that this is a problem sometimes and I’m actively (but still unsuccessfully) working to correct it each and every year. 

I go to the gym six days per week, every week, so I guess my degree wasn’t a (complete) waste. People often ask me, “When did you start taking fitness so serious?” And my answer is, “Never.” Yes, I do workout every day but you won’t see my posting mirror selfies or progress pictures to my Instagram account like most bros nowadays. I workout frequently simply because it’s good for my body and mind and I like the way it makes me look and feel. I will not skip a day at the gym. 

My wife is extremely smart. She’s a full-time student and will soon be an optometrist. She supports my crazy ideas and tolerates the entrepreneurial geek that lives within me. 

I set big goals that, I’ve noticed, change almost every year. It’s fun to document my goals as I strive to acheive them. I feel remarkably blessed and grateful to be in the position I’m in.
