Good news friend...
You can make an income sharing your passion online.
Let's work together to help make this a reality.
You know that you have a message to share. You dream about starting and growing an online business but aren't sure where you start. You are in the right place.
Hi, I’m Dr. Brian Dixon, your business coach and marketing mentor.
Over the past nine years, I’ve gone from a nobody online, to writing a best-selling book with a major publisher (and a multi-six figure advance), being a featured speaker at industry-leading conferences, appearing on top podcasts, and being featured in dozens of media outlets includes Forbes and NBC.
But I also know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, confused, and directionless when it comes to connecting with my ideal audience, sharing my message, and creating life changing products and programs.
After quitting my job and launching my online business, I hit a wall. I knew I had something valuable to share, but it just felt like I was running uphill. No matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to be working.
That is, until a business mentor taught me a principle that changed everything for me.
Do not despise these small beginnings,
for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.
Zechariah 4:10
