    In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded Freelance University with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Freelancers and VAs from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 25,000 Virtual Assistants and Freelancers in more than 75 countries. Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building our Online University while raising our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you either in this program or at our University very soon. I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."

    I really enjoyed this course, and learned a lot about finding my niche. I thought I knew what niche I wanted to pursue, but the deep dive into discovering your niche has me asking myself questions I hadn't thought to ask myself as well as do some viable research to make sure it's worth my time.
