The Online Entrepreneur
What would you do if you invested tens of thousands of dollars in an education only to discover that you were still living paycheck to paycheck?
For Ben Moskel and Dave Clabeaux, this was their reality.
Long before becoming Internationally renowned Internet marketing experts, Ben and Dave met as Division I scholarship athletes at the University at Buffalo. They both pursued professional careers, Ben as a lawyer and Dave as a teacher. Since they were brought up like most of us, they were led to believe that this career path would lead to a lifestyle of success and happiness.
Ben quickly discovered that working a lawyer did not provide a fulfilling lifestyle. He spent twelve-hour days grinding through dull paperwork for an insurance law firm. He realized that his hard work was making other people rich, while the long hours were putting a strain on his family life.
Most people think that lawyers make a six-figure income. However, despite working at a prestigious law firm, when Ben did the math, he was earning just over $14 per hour. On top of that he was burdened with nearly $70,000 of student loan debt and living paycheck to paycheck. He felt imprisoned and desperately sought a way out.
One day Ben noticed that his co-worker Carrie, a junior associate, was driving a more expensive car than even the law firm's senior partners. Ben learned that Carrie was making an extra $10,000 per month on the side from a simple website. After some prodding, Carrie finally revealed that she was doing "Performance Marketing", a business that does not require anything but a website and Internet access.
Ben was excited about tapping into this lucrative opportunity and was determined to use it as a vehicle to quit his job. After building approximately 300 unsuccessful websites, Ben finally figured out the secret. His income from his websites soon surpassed his lawyer salary. Within months of discovering this secret, Ben was able to quit his job and live the lifestyle he had always dreamed of.
Ben was eager to share his success with his family and friends. However, everyone was skeptical and thought that "this Internet thing was just a passing fad". But Dave saw the potential and the success that Ben was having. Fed up with his own paycheck-to-paycheck career, Dave thought he would give it a shot.
Dave quickly built some websites and was able to generate an income far beyond his expectations. Despite having a rewarding teaching job, he could not ignore the fact that he was making more money doing performance marketing part time than his full time teaching job. He decided to resign from his teaching job to operate his websites full-time.
In the past four years Ben and Dave have built a multi-million dollar empire with nothing more than their laptops and a strong work ethic. They continue to build their wealth by using their formula to tap into the lucrative opportunities of the Internet.
Among their accomplishments Ben and Dave co-authored the best selling book The Online Entrepreneur, which has sold in over 40 countries. Their Internet businesses have generated sales exceeding $30 million dollars in the past three years for Fortune 500 companies including First Bank of Delaware, Yahoo!, Microsoft, and dozens of other retailers and service providers.
These two self-made millionaires now truly enjoy running two seven-figure Internet businesses. However, their true passion is traveling the World sharing their secrets to success with others through their powerful and inspirational speeches at live seminars and business events.
