MONETIZE PRESENT KNOWLEDGE
How to turn what you know into cash.
My name is Chris,
This economic reality weighs on me daily, and I want to help. I actually see it as my life mission helping people to prosper.
I share what follows openly and honestly hoping to motivate you to follow my example and create your own online business and secure your financial future before things get worse.
By creating an online course, using existing knowledge, we've earned over $3.6 million, just from selling a $99 course. (The video on this page explains who can do this and how it's done.) Don't hear this as bragging. My goal here is to share our personal testimony hoping to inspire you to do the same.
This plan is for anyone who believes something has to be done, and who values their precious time and would like to stop doing possibly unfulfilling work that doesn't even make ends meet. If any of this resonates with you, watch this short video...
No Hype. No Theory...
This is how we created an online business while having the freedom to see the world, and how you can do it too - or, however you define freedom and living your best life.
I can show you how to have this freedom by creating your own online course that Monetizes your Present Knowledge (MPK). Or, you can use this easy, step-by-step process to turn Other People's Knowledge (OPK) into cash.
Through a series of 30 videos, I will walk you through the exact steps I took to create, launch and market our highly successful online course. And, best of all - no prior technical experience is needed, and it can all be done by you without a staff.
I'll even show you how to earn your first sale BEFORE your course is completed! Again, no theory, we've done this and will show you how.
Keeping it simple. I've been a technologist over 40 years and most of that time was spent demystifying software solutions for clients. This simple course development process has that same approach at its core.
We Were There Too and Needed a New Plan A- urgently.
This was our answer...
Our lives changed dramatically due to a family tragedy. My youngest sister passed away one day after giving birth to my nephew, so my wife and I adopted her three young children. We were in our mid to late 40s then and spent the next eighteen years raising them as our own.
Those were challenging times, and the Crash of 2008 made life even tougher. We burned through our lifesavings and retirement funds to provide a home and support our new family. By the grace of God, we did the best we could until they were grown.
After becoming empty nesters in our late 50s, we needed a new plan for the next phase of life. We wanted to be free to travel so trading time for money was not an option. No more hourly consulting. No more billable hours. No more exhausting business travel. We needed another way.
We created the MPK business model because it freed us geographically. We could run our business from anywhere in the world. This was important to us because during our parenting years, free time and extra money to travel were in short supply.
We Shared Our Experience In This Book...
The MPK business model is captured in a book I published in 2016. In it I outlined our approach to creating an online course using the information you already have in your head. Or, as the book explains, how to use OPK, other people's knowledge, as we did with our first course. That's right, all of the content of our multimillion-dollar course was based on other people's knowledge. OPK can free you from creating course content on your own.
The MPK book became an Amazon #1 bestseller.
Not So Fast, You Have Cancer...
My wife was with me in the doctor's office when we heard those shocking words in May 2018. Luckily, we were prepared. We had recently done extensive research for my father who eventually lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. Dad didn't have an opportunity to make full use of our research, but I did. I like to think of it as my Dad giving me life twice.
Contrary to what we were told, we didn't believe radiation or radical surgery were my only viable options. MPK afforded us the financial freedom to go out of insurance network - way out, to Mexico for treatment. There, we found a holistic cancer treatment plan that was geared more toward total wellness and not just treatment.
The cancer diagnosis immediately rearranged our priorities: health and staying alive moved to #1. Fortunately, we were on the right track with our do-business-from-anywhere vision. Our research pointed us to Costa Rica, a country with one of the five "Blue Zones" in the world. Blue Zone countries are where people have the longest life expectancy due in part to low stress, clean water, air and food, exercise, and a close-knit family lifestyle.
The financial freedom we got from our first course made that move and my treatment in Mexico possible.
We lived in Costa Rica for two years then moved to Panama. The lifestyle was similar enough but at a lower cost of living. By the grace of God, I am doing well. Having the financial freedom to choose the best healthcare treatment option made all the difference.
We revamped our business model to suit our lifestyle, instead of the other way around.
Our results speak for itself: Over $3,600,000 earned from one $99 course...
Since launching our first course the results have been life changing. Again, these are actual our result, net earnings, no hype. Our goal is simply to share our results, explain how we achieved them, and inspire others to do the same.
No Geographic Boundaries. We Ran Our Business From Five Continents...
In 2019 we traveled the world, visited five continents, while running a successful online business - all while attending to my #1 health priority. Considering the impact of COVID, the timing of our travels couldn’t be more perfect. At the end of that exciting year we decided to make Panama our new home.
To achieve this level of success, you must know your "Why."
To succeed with this plan you must know your Why...you know, that person, project or purpose that gets you out of bed excited, and keeps you motivated even when "life" happens.
My #1 Why is aThe drive that's been with me for as long as I can remember: finding ways to help others prosper. Why? Because I hate seeing good people toil and suffer because of a lack of money. That's what preoccupies my thoughts.
My Other Important "Whys" - Family...
After my youngest sister died leaving three young children, I felt the responsibility to raise them as my own. After all, that's what family does in times of crisis. But what does it say about a person's character who willingly co-parents three kids as if they were her own? My wife gave up everything including a thriving career to do just that. Over the years she never asked for even a “thank you” for her sacrifice, all the reason she is my "why." I live every day showing my appreciation.
Another "Why" - Rest in Eternal Peace Emmanuel...
To honor our nephew Manny and to keep his legacy alive we committed to creating the same process he was searching for. I know he was passionate about creating an online stream of income and trying to make it happen made him happy. Tragically, he left us at only thirty-four years of age. Continue resting in eternal peace Emmanuel...this one is for you.
Another "Why" - To leave a legacy...
Our grandsons, happy, healthy and full of life. Our goal is to leave a legacy of opportunity for them. One that will hopefully make their load a little bit lighter than ours. And, perhaps even inspire them to build their own businesses.
Important news most people aren't paying attention to...
◾ 78% of American wage earners now live paycheck to paycheck.
◾ 50% of homeowners and renters are having trouble paying their mortgage and rent.
◾ The average American has less than $600 in savings.
◾ Well-known companies that went bankrupt in the last year: WeWork, Rite Aid, Bed Bath & Beyond, Tuesday Morning, Party City, etc.
To Make Matters Worse...
◾ Total debt for millennials in their 30s hit more than $3.8 trillion, a 27% jump from late 2019, and the steepest increase of any age group.
◾ 83% of Americans over 50 are NOT confident they can maintain a comfortable lifestyle in retirement.
◾ Food prices increased 23.5% from February 2020 to May 2023; rent 20%, while wages only increased 4.2% for non-union workers for the 12-month period ending in December 2023.
There must be a better way...
Legacy of Pandemic: Everything Changed.
I don't have to tell you. The impact on businesses and employment has been and continues to be profound.
Lost Jobs...
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown caused 114 million people to lose their jobs over 2020. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates working hours lost in 2020 were equivalent to 255 million full-time jobs, leading to $3.7 trillion in lost labor income.
Businesses loss...
The pandemic resulted in the permanent closure of roughly 200,000 U.S. establishments above historical levels during the first year of the viral outbreak, according to a study released Thursday by economists at the Fed. In recent years, about 600,000 establishments have permanently closed per year, or about 8.5%, according to the study.
Labor Shortage...
The labor crunch is widespread, affecting many industries that dimmed their lights during the pandemic and are now scrambling to turn them back on. From warehousing to trucking to hospitality, the shortage is rippling through the economy, causing supply-chain bottlenecks and driving up costs that are preventing many sectors from fully recovering.
Fortunately, as with all downturns there's an upside...
For our company, the year 2020, in the midst of global economic upheaval, was our best year - ever. Distance learning via online teaching became the thing to do.
The pandemic transformed the highly traditional, chalk-talk education approach into innovative web-based innovation and technology. Zoom quickly became the go-to app for companies, schools, families and friends to gather virtually. As a result, Zoom sales grew exponentially. Clearly, online learning is here to stay.
You too can create an online business - without prior technical know-how.
Another Reason to Build a Business...
Because You Work for Nothing ($0) for Four Months!
According to the Tax Foundation, a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization, every year the average American works from January 1st to April 18th only to pay taxes: federal, state and local taxes. That's four months of earnings gone to the government, instead of to you and your family. Only after those debts are paid, Americans start keeping the money they labored for.
You can stop and get out of the rat race. MPK can make it possible.
Ideas For Your Online Course...
Here are some ideas for turning your present knowledge into a monthly stream of cash.
A big plus is you won't need the latest new technology.
And, no technical experience is required...
All The Technology You Need...
While I am a technologist with over 40 years of experience, I am not a fan of buying "the latest and greatest gadgets." Our first online course was created with a camcorder I bought back in 2016.
Actually, the smartphone in your pocket may be more than enough to get the job done.
Well, there you have it. I hope you're excited and ready to take action!
Seriously, isn't it time to get out of the rat-race (freedom)?
Isn't it time to stop trading your valuable time for money (more leisure time)?
Isn't it time to secure your financial future (peace of mind)?
Isn't it time to cement your legacy (posterity)?
It's Easy as One, Two, Three...
With our easy, step-by-step process...
Step #1
Identify a problem that you can solve. For example, a service you've provided at your work or in business. Or, the focus of your professional or coaching practice. For authors, the subject of your book might be ideal.
Step #2
Create an online course to teach others how to solve the same problem for themselves. All that's required are step-by-step instructions from you, the person with the experience, expertise and information.
Step #3
Turn your existing knowledge into cash! It is really that simple. I will provide you with the exact same plan, in an easy step-by-step format, which we used to turn OPK (Other People's Knowledge) into over $3 million dollars - while we traveled the world.
