Brandon Northwick

Some would be worse than others but they happened so often that they not only became predictable; but I almost got used to ‘em.

If you’ve never experienced anything like this, believe me when I say it’s a very humbling experience.

Especially when it’s an experience that spans over five years of your life - for me: it was from when I was 22 to 27 years old.

I started to experience those night terrors because my whole life I was never pushed in any direction. I was never shown what to do, or what my options were.

I started to feel trapped...

Now, I was told growing up, “Brandon, you can do anything!” and, “The sky’s the limit!”, which did help...but never was I shown how to accomplish those dreams.

I remember having to learn almost everything on my own...

So those night terrors I truly believe were there to tell me about my future.

To remind me that the longer I did nothing about changing my routine, the worse things would be.

When I 27 years old I started to look back at when I first became a server, which was when I was 16 years old and I asked myself, “do I know how to make money doing anything else?”

That’s a humbling question..go ahead and give it a try: How many ways do you know how to make money? Does the answer surprise you?

After I asked myself that question I became incredibly scared; I knew that if I ever got hurt or wanted to move to another state, I couldn’t take my income with me.

Once that feeling settled in, I felt trapped...

Another thing that stuck out to me was if I wanted to save, I couldn’t do it on a consistent basis.

How could I as a food server when there’s no way to consistently predict how many good nights (or bad nights) I’ll have throughout the week?

Figuring all this out on my own made me feel really insecure about my entire situation.

There was only thing left for me to do and was to take control of my entire situation, but before I go into that - let me start from the beginning so you know where it all began...

I’m 16 years old, and I just walked out of my mother’s house for (what I thought would be) for good. I had nothing to my name other than the clothes I took with me, my “I can do anything” attitude, $300, and my determination to make it on my own.

I knew I needed money - and I needed it fast. I needed a place to live - nothing fancy, just a roof over my head.

The fastest way I knew how to make this happen was, well, by doing what I saw other people my age doing - selling w**d.

There are many things that I would do different if I had the chance - and knowing what I know now about business - I would’ve never have gotten involved with that kind of hustle. But at the time, what did I know?

I was a kid in high school who thought it would be best for me to leave my house and move out on my own. Granted. There were circumstances that called for the decision to be made but still - I was just a kid.

My older sister and I were able to come together to find an apartment in a run-down part of our neighborhood.

Not the nicest of places, mind you; the complex had a police sub-station in it, if that’s any indication. But hey - a place is a place.

I had to pay rent, and the only way I knew how - at that time - was to hustle and make it happen on my own. I did this for a while then I saw what my sister was doing...

When I heard my sister say she made $100 in tips one just night, I was immediately interested in the restaurant industry. I thought, “If I can make $100 per day - legally - I’d be able to do whatever I want.” haha

Little did I know that she didn’t make $100 every night, and neither would I. Plus, I didn't understand that $3,000 per month is barely enough to keep a float..

I searched online for jobs that were available and lined up as many interviews as possible for my first restaurant job.

I finally got hired on my 6th interview because I finally learned that I had to persuade the Boss in to thinking that not having any experience is a good thing.

I’ve always loved making money, and I figured if I had 24 hours in day why not have two full-time jobs, right?

I can still have a life, right?

“I’m young” haha

I ended up with two restaurant jobs from the age 16-20, working for about 70 hours a week on average.

That sounds terrible!

Just typing it hurts my eyes and I wouldn’t wish that upon my worst enemy.

If I loved what I was doing that would be another story, but one thing that got me to look into online marketing, mastering online sales processes and perfecting lead generation is because of the automation aspect of it all.

I wanted to be able to make money when I wasn’t actually working.

Especially when I think back at how I was breaking my back for 10 years in the restaurant industry.

I started out as a bus boy, then a food runner, next a server, then a trainer and finally an expediter - because I really thought about going full-time upper management for awhile. I honestly enjoyed everything I was doing at one point.

I just didn’t agree with the money I was getting paid. I had a cap as to how much I can make; but as I soon figured out, anybody does when they trade time for money. Now, things are different.

I’ve learned how to get a return on my time - all day long, year around.

Despite the situation I was in, I managed to kick some serious butt and still graduate from high school. I continued my education with my career choice of selling Real Estate, becoming licensed at twenty years old.

I had to quit one of my serving jobs so I could focus more on selling real estate.

i'll be honest, becoming a 20- year-old licensed Realtor was one of my highest accomplishments. It felt amazing.

I passed the test on the first time and told myself “I’m going to make a million dollars in the first 3 years.”

Unfortunately, without a great mentor and a solid plan I had zero shot at my goal. So, when I left my second job to focus on real estate I really had no other choice but to make my new business work for me.

Did it work out?

Let’s see...

Fast forward three years later, and I only made 30K in commissions - after racking up just over $20,000 in debt mind you - so we can agree that’s not the best first 36 months. At this point I figured it was about time to look for another route.

Instead of looking for a new mentor and following my dream of making millions selling real estate, like I should’ve done, I went back to the restaurant grind full-time...

(Bad choice)

... and that’s when I started to have those night terrors. “Why would you do that?”, you may ask.

“Why not just find someone new to teach you the right way to be a successful Realtor, if that’s what you really wanted to do?”

To be honest: I was scared to reach out and ask people to guide me. I didn’t think I was good enough to be mentored and I thought I was a waste of their time.

I also thought (plenty of times) to myself, “If I did get get a mentor, what would they make me do?”

I was worried about getting outside my comfort zone, even though I claimed to be majorly confident in front of everyone else.

Now, does that sound like I was ready for success?

I went back on my word after telling myself, “once I get licensed as a Realtor - I will never fill out another job application again. EVER.”

Three years after I began my journey I was filling out multiple job applications and standing in front of businesses with hundreds of other applicants, fighting for a position.

...looking to get hired by someone else.

How many times would I have to go through this type of experience before I started to think, “maybe there’s a different way to make something happen?”

I started to learn more about personal development and how to build successful businesses from scratch, and I just immersed myself in it.

I’d spend hours reading and implementing new strategies and old strategies to test and see what works.

After I got hired on (again) as a server, I’d spend my entire shift thinking, ‘what else could I do’; basically spending my time at work absentminded from what I was being “paid” to do.

Although, “paid” is subjective.

There was actually a point where I was walking out with only $7 per shift-LOL I mean $7!

How insane is that?!

Whenever I tell people that it would cost me to go to work, they don’t believe me, but think about it.

The gas and food to eat would cost me money, the clothes/required outfit costs money, so I could end up negative $32 for the day.

And you see, that’s when personal development comes in very handy. haha

All joking aside, that’s just not the life I wanted for my future family or for myself.

I do remember a time when I loved serving tables. Going to work, the people, the parties...I had this amazing job. I was making $300 - $500 every shift.

But those gigs aren’t as common or as easy to get into, so when I had to tuck my tail between my legs and get a new job...

It was at the "must- work- because-you-have-to-pay-bills-job", and that job sucks!

I worked like this for almost 5 years until I was about to turn 27, and that’s when it happened.

That’s when I learned exactly how people that are worth a lot of money became so valuable.

You want to know the trick?

Here’s the trick...5 Steps To Living an Abundant Life:

1. Feed yourself with valuable information daily

2. Define your purpose - Knowing why you’re here will pave the way for the direction you’ll actually go.

3. Take action - do the things necessary no matter how uncomfortable.

4. Create a following by believing in that purpose and standing firm, no matter what.

5. Learn a creative way to stand out and bring that information - that vision - to the masses. Find a mentor, coach or consultant that has been where you are, and is going or where you want to be.

That’s it! 📷;)

After a long time of looking for the right people to follow, I finally discovered my purpose.

If you’re feeling lost right now, this will idea help...what I did was completely because I was just flat out tired of trying to do everything on my own.

My wife, Sara, brought me to church one afternoon where I knelt down and prayed to Christ to save my soul.

After that day, I started to see the world differently and (almost) instantly began to receive enormous amounts of new ideas.

After about 6 months of prayer I found my purpose and I realized that my vision was supposed to be revealed at exactly this time in my life.

And that’s when it hit me like a ton of bricks...

Ideas are nothing but information that’s put into action; if you constantly feed your mind new information; and take action on that information - you’ll never run out of ideas.

Purposeful action breeds profits.

The moment I experienced this “a-ha” for myself - I instantly knew what I had to do.

I had to start a new business - nothing in Real Estate, but something even bigger. I wanted to start a business that could leaved a legacy after I left this Earth.

Making this decision would mean I’d have to lay it all out on the line, again.

But that didn’t matter to me, it never mattered to me. I had already made up my mind and I knew I was going to see success.

I had my faith, purpose and determination backing me up now...which is more than I ever had before.

The people around me all thought I was crazy.

They’ve seen me attempt multiple start-ups in the past, only to watch them all fail.

So when I shared with them that I’m starting a new business online - you guessed it: they straight up laughed!

They didn’t think I could make it; they all talked behind my back but the crazy part is: most of them are the ones living paycheck to paycheck, always complaining about how they never have money to do anything.

(But I’m the crazy one??)

I knew this was going to be struggle at first because I’ve been through few start ups and had a pretty good understanding of how the first couple of phases go.

Or, at least, I thought I did.

I knew there was going to be learning curve, but I didn’t think I was that far behind when it came to operating a business.

I was actually surprised!

In the first 2 years of running our business strictly online, I learned more than my previous 15 years.

Crazy right!

It’s all about focus and where you want to place yourself. I was tired of playing small and only looking forward to the weekends at local bars or at a friend’s house because that’s how I was spending my time back then...

I wanted to look forward to weekends on the beach, trips around the world with my family and going after my major definite purpose.

That’s what got me excited.

When I started focusing on the bigger picture, my entire life changed.

On May 29, 2012, my daughter Savanna Genice Northwick, was brought into my life.

I was 26 years old at the time and if I hadn’t learned about a new way of building a life, I’d be at the mercy of “my boss.”

I’d be at the mercy of how much time he’d allow me to see my family, and how much he thought my time was worth.

The thought of living like that got me fired up, and I went to the drawing board to do something about it.

I knew something had to change when I looked into my baby girl’s eyes for the first time. I knew I was going to do anything I could make this happen.

Not only for her, but for all of the other people that I’ve never even met yet.

Having my daughter led me to my big “WHY.”

I realized I wanted to help more than just my own children. I discovered I wanted to help my friend’s children, your children.

...I want to help every child feel like they have a family, home and a place to grow.

That’s when God revealed my purpose to me: I’m going to help 1,000,000 young kids and teenagers over the course of 20 years create financial independence and find spiritual enlightenment by the time there 25.

I’m going to do this by having a large team teaching these kids on the subjects that no school is teaching right now...

Business. Faith. Finances.

The subjects that our kids need so they can fulfill their own purpose.

The type of school/organization/facility where they get empowered and learn first hand to how to bring any vision to life... and this will happen.

I have a plan to build a huge facility and create the relationships with those who also share in this vision of mine.

My daughter, Savanna, was the spark of this big dream and Christ is the catalyst. Nothing will stop me from my mission! How will I make all this happen, you ask?

If I truly desired to accomplish this dream of mine - this vision - I’d have to find a way to make money when I’m not actually working.

I’d have to find a way to create long term income from something I’ve done once that pays me over and over again.

Once I create that pipeline, I can focus on helping more people instead of focusing on paying my bills.

Jim Rohn said: “If you help enough people pay their bills, your bills will disappear.” I believe that 110% and it’s one philosophy I now live my life by and operate my business by.

So I started looking around for ways to make this happen, you know, build that pipeline. Excitedly, I was thinking about starting up a few businesses that allowed me to receive monthly commissions for everything I sold.

I heard that was the fasted way to extra income.

I also started to look around for products that I could stand behind. Once I found everything I was looking for, I jumped right in!

I started to do everything I could so I could learn everything possible about this new business.

Mainly...I learned upfront, how to systematize everything and automate the things I didn’t want to take care of personally.

I knew I wanted to get results fast so I could focus on helping others do the same, so I began my journey towards my major purpose in life.

Needless to say, the journey had its frustrating moments because based off my (then) present actions, I had expectations that were unreasonable; and I wasn’t doing what I was being taught or told to do.

Everything I thought I understood, I wasn’t implementing to my highest caliber. That behavior lead me to having very small successes in the first 12 months of being in business.

After 12 months of very little success in my online business, I asked myself: “what do I do next?”

I could do one of two things:

1. Throw in the towel because I had “failed”, so far. 2. I could keep going - find a new mentor and just tweak a few things along the way.

I chose to pick myself up, found a new mentor/consultant, and I went to back at it for the second time. I got rid of my ego and truly embraced the learning process.

I knew what I wanted, and I knew I didn’t have it yet...

I saw other people with my same talent or worse, using their God-given abilities to do things with their business that I wanted to do with mine.

My plan was to stay laser focused, so I dropped everything I was involved in and moved my family from Las Vegas to Texas.

Why Texas?

Following my dream. Living in Texas had been a dream of mine since I was 20 yrs old, and I knew if I wanted different results, I’d have to do things differently - including choosing a new environment.

Moving to a new state solely on a vision and faith is a liberating - sometimes nerve-wracking - experience.

When people say, “it’s not for everyone”, I don’t believe that.

I’m living proof that this is the life for everyone! Going after what your heart desires is definitely for everyone.

...and that’s what I want my children to know.

...Can they believe that if I’m not living it?

Sure they can, but it’ll be a much harder sell. Think about it, it’d be difficult for me to tell them they can do anything they want, when I’m living like someone who can’t.

After years of struggling in the online world and then working with my new mentor at that time...in less than 12 months I created my own Consulting firm and went from absolutely zero in sales, with no following and no real results - to experiencing 5 figure months predictably.

At the end of the day, I love what I do now. Things are way different than they were only 5 years ago.

I went from sweats and night terrors, to sleeping peacefully throughout the night. I get to wake up next to my beautiful wife, watch my daughter Savanna and two sons come running up to me at anytime throughout the day.

These are the experiences and memories that’ll never be able to be taken away from me.

By making that one decision to go back and fight, I literally bought the first 5 years of my daughter’s life...and those memories will forever be with me.

Most fathers only get to spend about 1/8 of their time everyday with their family, and that’s only if the kids are awake.

I’ve been able to spend every waking moment with my little “captain” (that’s one of our inside jokes).

Now, I’m helping other online business owners, affiliate marketers and local businesses create advanced automated sales and marketing machines that use behaviorally dynamic follow up to ensure sales get made throughout the entire process.

That’s 90%-95% automation...

What we do is not like anything out there, and that’s why we can get away with emailing our list multiple times a day and never wear them out.

We’ve seen our campaigns bring in over $15,000 worth of clients in less than 96 hours.

It’s been a blessing to have come this far and I can only thank Christ for who I am today. I could still be hustling in the streets, risking everything and wasting my drive.

...but when I went from serving tables, and serving the streets to serving the Lord, I’ll be honest: my life completely changed and I started to finally attract more of the people I wanted in my life.

Coincidence? ... I don’t think so.

Honestly, what would that do for you if you could start brand new, with a large group of people who want to listen to you and encourage you to go after something big!?

When I did that, I saw the shift in those around me, as well as in myself.

It didn’t happen overnight but when they saw me they thought, “If he can do it, so can I.”

That’s what we call inspiration that motivates!

When you decide to build your future in your mind, and then get to work bringing it to life. You always inspire others to do the same!

That’s what I specialize in, and that’s what’s going to help bring families closer together in the next 20 to 50 years. You can decide later in life to do what you want, or you can start to make it happen today!

First step is getting with the right mentor, next is defining a purpose, then it’s all about by taking action.

Finally, you find a unique way of sharing that message with the world.

Please don’t think this is only for me...when you see that you have a purpose and then you begin to craft a plan so you can bring that purpose to life, it becomes incredibly fun and exciting.

Anybody can do this who really is willing to put in the work and make it happen no matter what. That’s what has to be done - if you really want to do things on your own terms.

If you’re thinking right now, “I know I can have more, I just don’t know how to get it.” Or “I know I can build my business online, I’m just not sure how.”

Maybe, “I’m selling things right now, but I need to scale and I don’t know how.” It could be, “I’m spending to much time doing things manually and I know there an easier way, but I don’t know how.”
