Left the W2 world 25 years ago
Built freedom through multiple income streams
Reselling | Plastic Distribution | Media |
Helping others create optionality
I built a life free of a W2 with 3 income streams.
The first was in 2002. I quit my W2 and started a Plastic Resin Distribution company which now has sales of $3M+
Second, I started a media company focusing on niche aspects of traveling to Disney. One of these is food allergies(which both of my kids have) and the second is their Vacation Club.
This business nets over $4000/month and is now on pace to grow to $8000/month by next year.
Third, after hearing @shannonjean ‘s podcast about reselling. I was hooked.
This was the perfect opportunity to show my adult kids what was possible.
My kids are 21 and 26. Both trying to find their way.
I started buying pallets from @bstocksol to show them the low entry point and the alternatives to the W2 trap.
Our new business has generated 60% plus profits on evey item we’ve sold.
Where can you make 60% profit on your money??
I’m proud to say that I’ve partnered with B Stock to make it easier for you to enter the reselling game.

These stories break me.
Last week a couple was telling us that their daughter got asked to speak at a conference in Italy.
The mom said she was going on the trip with her because the husband ran out of vacation time and could not go.
I got a sharp pain in my eye thinking about how much that must suck.
Are you leaving cash on the table?
Maybe you should stop worrying about that.
Holding out for the price you want will stunt your growth.
Maybe you should reconsider an offer instead of turning it down instantly.
I’m not talking about low ball offers.
Moving some resale inventory break even or even a small loss in important and necessary
Im talking about turning cash.
If you are continually trying to hold out for “your” price, this is the wrong strategy.
I see this all the time in plastic resin reselling. Some people don’t even want to throw out a starting number?!
This is foolish and shuts down a deal possibility immediately.
Negotiating price increases the chance of a deal happening tremendously.
Is making a deal better than not making a deal?
Of course.
So why are you shutting deals down because you think your price is the “right price”?
Make deals
Turn the cash
It’s so important for growth

I’m not anti W2, it’s great for some.
But I know there’s a ton of people struggling because they don’t control their own time.
There’s a definite path to leave your W2 if you want to.
But wanting to is different than actually doing it.
Quitting your W2 cold turkey like I did 25 years without a plan is a risk no one should take, especially if you have a ton of expense and/or a family.
I created 3 streams of income to let me be free of the W2 handcuffs and keep them off forever.
I want that for others also and it’s why I’ve chosen to share my experiences and my ongoing journey on X and LinkedIn.
Give me a follow, search my past posts, start educating yourself on the paths I’m sharing.
I’m building a community that will be launched in the next couple of weeks where I’ll be providing networking with others who are on the journey of leaving their W2.
I’ll also be sharing in depth, my playbook and the playbook of others who will be sharing their experiences and helping build this community of positivity and encouragement. I’ll bring in friends and colleagues who have been on the same journey as myself. Real world examples so you can see what’s possible.
I can’t wait to share this with you.
Stay tuned.

It was 25 years ago when I left my W2
I had a wife and a 4 year old
I left without a plan
I had a 6 month non-compete
I owned a small house and had one car payment
Why did I leave?
I was suffering from extreme anxiety caused by my restrictions from my W2
I had one week vacation time. That’s it.
I was making $38,000 and bringing in 10x that in profit.
I suffered financially for years but I had my time back. All of my time back.
I built 3 income streams that allowed me to live a life of freedom.
If you are struggling with finding a way to leave your W2, I can help.
I’m not saying quit cold turkey like I did.
There’s a definite path.
Follow me for insight on this path.
Search my past posts.
Ask yourself what is more important, a big house and 2 car payments, or time with your kids.
We need to change the narrative
Time is everyone’s #1 priority, yet not many take actions to get their time back.
Are you going to?

These are the people that shaped my existence
They taught me the value of hard work.
My dad was a Catholic school teacher for 48 years. He worked summers as a customs inspector to supplement our family. I often remember saying good bye to him as he went off in his uniform for his 4-12 shift. He did this for almost 20 years.
My mom worked part time as an accounting assistant during the day and a department store at night. She then landed a full time job as an office manager for Lafarge Corporation. She was there for 22 years until she retired.
They both often had side hustles going on also. They started a credit collection agency which lasted for a few years. This was on top of their full time jobs.
They also both created eBay accounts when the website was launched. They were resellers before the term was used. My dad sold textbooks, coins, and other items. My mom sold yarn, collector Christmas houses, and anything else she thought was valuable.
Now that they are both in a better place, I still hear their voices every day. Their advice, their encouragement, their unwavering love.
No wonder I am who I am.
They taught me integrity, honesty, and work ethic.
I’m a reseller and always will be.
The thrill of reselling will never go away in my mind.
I was taught by the best ❤️
If your employer offered you a $100,000 raise tomorrow, but in exchange you had to miss every one of your kid’s games, recitals, vacations, and family dinners for the next 10 years…
Would you take it?
Why or why not?
