MY STORY

So I somehow bumbled myself through highschool, and graduated with 101 credits – the minimum is 100.

I also had to retake math, 3 times, and still squeaked by with only a 48%

(How they let me into college with that grade, still has me baffled)

Anyway, school was lots of fun, you know they say that highschool is the best time of your life? They aren’t wrong in some aspects. The complete lack of responsibility is / was great. Seeing my friends everyday is awesome, and playing on sports teams with the fellas is something you cannot go wrong doing – we also won many trophies together, so that doesn’t hurt.

After graduating, it was essentially time for the “real world.”

I wanted to go to college, but I only wanted to go so I could play basketball at the next level…

I do not know about you, but I had to pay my own way through school at the post-secondary level – and I am glad that I did, with 0 student loans.

My dad could have easily paid my tuition, but I feel having to work a ‘real job’ to pay for school taught me a few lessons:

One of the jobs I had applied for and got, was working in a warehouse on an assembly line. Fun right? No. It was a no fun zone, if you came in there with any fun, you left it at the door and your soul died along the way… Not really, but that’s how it felt. But, the job taught me an extremely valuable lesson.

Want to know what it was?

Okay cool, I’ll tell you.

Everyday I went to work, punched the clock at 8:00am and punched out for 4:30pm, but every now and then I had a few moments to peak my head up from my workbench and look around. While doing so, with my grease covered face, blistered hands and beat up feet, I realized something… I begin to notice that everyone who worked alongside with me, hated their lives.

I could tell by the dead look on everyone’s face. These folks were in their 40’s, 50’s, and 60s, working a job they did not want to be doing, at ages they should not be doing them at. It scared me that this is reality.

I distinctly remember saying to myself over and over and over, “Cameron this is not going to be you, Cameron this is not going to be you, Cameron this is not going to be you…”

The lesson I learned from these people was this:

There was nothing wrong with these people, they were just, as we say, ‘in a rut.’ I would talk to them about anything BUT work, as we were working, and while I did this their eyes would brighten up!

When I saw them truly coming alive as we spoke, I knew that living the way they lived was not for me. But, I first had to experience living / working a job I did not want to be doing, in order to truly know that was not the lifestyle I wanted for myself.

You can read about things in books all day long, but truly living / experiencing something creates a total different level of understanding.

I worked a few other jobs during this year off of school. I worked in a gym where I learned that the girls locker room is actually dirtier than the boys… This is also where I learned how to fold towels, which actually came in mighty handy later in life when I opened my own hotel.

I worked construction as unskilled labour, essentially the muscle / garbage man / ‘go get me my coffee guy,’ guy – half the time they did not even know my name, I was either called ‘hey guy’, or they called me ‘bitch.’ – they did this behind my back. Which started a few heated arguments, and I genuinely started hating what ‘reality’ was, and could not wait to go back to school.

(even though I did not like that either, but it was better than being a dirty construction workers errand boy, or picking the hair out of the clogged drain at the gym)

The year off school had come to a close, I was 19 years old and had saved enough money to pay for my first year of college, so I applied to business school in September…

Here are a couple pictures of me at my graduation with some of my best friends! 

If I were to call what happened a shitty situation, that would be a massive understatement!

It was October 27 2011, and from what I can remember, I’d say 3:30am.

I will not be going into extensive detail as to what happened, but I will give you the birdseye view of what went down that night.

My dad’s favorite TV show was one called “Dragons Den.” It’s a Canadian version of “Shark Tank,” essentially entrepreneurs pitch rich business moguls (The Dragons) their ideas on live Television in the hopes of some partnership together. If we were both home during the time it was on, we would make it a routine to watch it together, and enjoy eachothers company. 

On this evening, for some odd reason, I did not go downstairs to watch it with him when he asked, I instead went to bed.

Well, what I was awoken to a few hours later was pretty disturbing, and I still have trouble sleeping some nights because of it.

There was all this banging, yelling, screaming, crying, and terror echoing throughout the house, that I immediately sprung out of bed on adrenaline to see what was going on. In my heart I felt that someone was murdering my mom, with how she was yelling and banging on the walls, I thought I was in for a fight.

I literally jumped down an entire flight of stairs, raced around the corner, only to find my dad had died on the couch while watching TV.

Mom kept yelling, “he’s not waking up!”

In my head I was thinking to myself, ‘well you’re damn well loud enough, maybe he’s just in a really deep sleep – wake him up!’

This is also where the “Rock Bottom” part of the story kicks in, and where life got real, real fast.

I will tell you this though, when your dad randomly dies in the middle of the night, the food in the fridge will also stop appearing.

I guess you could say that I had to grow up quick in order to provide.

At this same time, the passing of my father, the Network Marketing company I was with was crumbling! All of the hard-work, and numerous hours of meetings / seminars / house parties / training’s / courses etc all were falling apart infront of my eyes.

Also, I pissed off all of my friends for no reason, and to add insult to injury the naysayers who told me “THAT’S A PYRAMID SCHEME,” were right! Ouch.

Remember the section of this story called ‘Network Marketing 101’ and how I explained a pyramid scheme is the movement of money without product or services…

Well, the government felt that the company I was an independent representative of, was doing just that, and eventually shut the whole thing down…

It was shaky before any investigations, as the corporate owner had died of cancer, and there was much uncertainty. The government intervention was just the icing on the cake to complete shut-down.

Now here I am, 22 years old, my dad just died, the company I invested the last 3 years of my life into is shutdown, oh and my girlfriend at the time left me… no joke. Honestly, when she left me, it was almost as painful as the death of my dad. She was the first one I called when I found out; my bestfriend and someone very close to me.

At this point, I should probably write a country song…

Time for me to get a job, something I’ve despised since the years of working in a factory / construction / gym cleaner.

Here’s how a 22 year old Cameron entered the workforce for the second time.

I remember driving with 3 friends, headed out to a buddies place to chill for an evening, when I got a phone call out of blue:

“Cameron, I know this is kind of random, but do you need a job?”

I replied, “yes, I really do”

“Alright, you start in an hour, see you on the corner of Jasper Avenue and 100 street.”

I just reread that back to myself, and it sounds like I became a drug dealer. Actually, I became a bouncer at one of the most hardcore nightclubs in the city. The reason it was hardcore, was because some serious individuals vacated the spot often – this was a wild job…

My first night on shift I witnessed 2 people get bottled, and 3 separate fights – let’s just say I had to toughen up quickly, as well, I was opened up to a whole new world of drugs, sex, alcohol, gangs, and all sorts of crazy behaviour.

I could write an entire book as my years of being a bouncer, yes I said years… Even as I write this, many insane memories are coming to mind. I won’t dive into the specifics of being a bouncer, but I will share a valuable lesson I learned from that job which is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Numerous nights I had my life threatened, I got into many possible life threatening altercations, I was surrounded by known gangsters, (real gang members, not the ones pretending because they think the lifestyle is cool), dealt with the police often, got called all sorts of names, and generally was in some pretty trying situations…

But one of the biggest takeaways / positive lessons from the whole experience was this: 

The reason that is the most valuable lesson from that whole experience, is because many times people called me terrible names for not letting them in the club. 

And I soon realized, that these angry people just needed an outlet to express to someone how they really feel about themselves.

So the next time someone has something bad to say about me, I just know its really how they feel on the inside.

Here are a couple photos of the better times of being a bouncer.

I was able to meet some pretty cool people, any club I went to in the city I never had to wait in a line, and everyone knew me. It had its perks for sure. This job allowed me to become extremely connected, both in the city and internationally.

The recent passing of my dad, my mom being in the terrible condition she was in after losing her husband, my MLM company getting shutdown, and then subsequently working in an environment that was definitely not conducive to happiness, all contributed to the ‘rock bottom’ feeling.

There was much on my plate all at once. I kept a positive outlook, and continued to push forward, but this was not easy.

There were 2 unforgettable times during this era where the weight of everything got very heavy on me, and I was faced with the decision to crack or to remain strong, my ‘rock bottom’ moments that I will share with you below:

One of the things that got me through these hardships was listening to motivational audios, specifically the “Rocky Speech.” If you do not know what it is, do a quick YouTube search, and you will know what I’m talking about.

All of these circumstances, events, situations etc… all shaped me to become the person I am today. I truly feel that God only gives his toughest challenges to his strongest soldiers. If you are from any sort of Faith background, I can relate this story to the one of Job. Now I am not saying my struggles are nearly as harsh as what he endured, but the premise stays the same…

You know when things in your life just keep going to shit, and then more shit gets added to the pile, and when you think there can’t be anymore shit, the shit then doubles – that is how I felt. If it’s not one thing, it’s another…

I was hit with REAL world problems that MANY people go through everyday, I am just thankful I made it out the other side, because many do not.

These experiences gave me a perspective that you cannot teach in a classroom, or even begin to learn through someone else. The only way is through experience.

I feel there is a huge power in being at the bottom, you just do not want to stay there very long.

There was too much ‘noise’ around me and in my head to think about business. Finally, after months of being ‘dripped’ on, I dusted myself off, hopped on board for a second kick at the can, and decided that it was time for round 2 in the marketing / direct sales space.

(there are still a few yet who message me asking me to join their business opportunity, this many years later, after I have told them ‘no’ 100 times. They are obviously playing in the NFL)

I used the skills, assets, and network I had built prior to start fresh.

I am extremely grateful I took this opportunity because it allowed me to meet a friend of mine, Kam George.

(I’ll touch base on the significance of this relationship shortly)

Anyway, things are starting to look up a little bit for me, and some successes start flowing my direction.

Here are a couple stills from what I was getting up to…

The only difference between this and the last business, was that the product was in a multi-billion dollar niche already accepted by the masses. I mean ‘weight-loss’ products and services have been around since time; fad diets, crash diets, pill this, protein shake that… people already have seen it all and are used to these sort of things, so introducing another one to the market, does not cause much of a negative uproar.

Also, the corporate office of the company was a younger demographic, and used a sort of viral marketing method to obtain market share.

(these guys revolutionized the industry by doing this, it was very smart)

But, the end premise was still the same:

Show the plan!

Show the plan!!

Show the plan!!!

We were using a DVD at “House-Parties” where people would watch the presentation, (I no longer had to present), and then sample the product afterwards.

Here is the biggest problem with the network marketing niche, and what I soon realized the reasoning as to WHY it is such a difficult industry – even when you are seeing success!

I have personal 6 FIGURE A MONTH friends of mine, who will NEVER be able to ‘walk away’ because of this problem.

They are selling the dream, but that dream is IMPOSSIBLE because of what I am about to tell you…

Ready for it?

If you are involved in a traditional network marketing / direct sales company right now, please pay close attention here.

I put this in the biggest, boldest, most outrageous lettering as I could for a reason. To get your attention!

Look, this is what happens:

You are told to create a list of 30 names, get in contact with that list, and get them infront of a DVD / presentation / or presenter of somesort.

The very second you call that person to book that block of time for them to see a presentation, whether it be at a coffee shop, house party, or hotel boardroom – they INSTANTLY do not want to be doing what you’re doing. 

Here’s why…

There are polls out there, that have been created to show that public speaking and cold calling, rank above DEATH for fears people have.

Death… we are competing with death… let’s take a moment to wrap our brains around that concept.

You may sign up a new independent representative on hype, but the very second they have to pick up the phone – they freeze. That fear will paralyze them, and they will quit.

And the reason someone says ‘no’ to you in the first place, after every closing method in the book has been thrown at them, is that subconscious realization that they do not want to be doing what you do. It takes a large amount of skill to close someone in sales, and the new prospect can pick up on that… It takes much refinement and many years of work to become a master salesman. Joe Blow buddy of yours, does not want to be doing that.

If you contacted someone who you have not talked to since grade school, and got them to a coffee shop to sit down with yourself and a stranger, (usually your upline), to show them a concept they already have a preconceived notion of being a scam – what makes you think they want to do the same?

You don’t enjoy when you’re calling them, so why should they? It took every ounce of courage in you to call that person you haven’t spoken to in 17 years, do you really think they have that same courage, and if they do, are they willing to use it for this?

And this is why my friends who are making multiple 6 figures a month will never stop having to recruit.

One specific group of friends of mine, took 1 month off of an active role in their business and their income got cut in half. Let that sink in. They are at the top of their company, and their income was divided by 2 because they wanted a well deserved vacation.

The more top earners I began hanging around, who told me the real secrets of the Network Marketing industry, the more I felt something was wrong…

(If you click right here, I actually have a great article about mistakes you’ve been making in the industry, give it a look after you finish here)

Look, making 6 figures a month is an amazing accomplishment, but if it is at the expense of doing things you do not want to be doing anymore, you aren’t free, you are actually going against the EXACT thing in which you are preaching – retirement in 3-5 years.

All you’ve done is taken your golden handcuffs of having a job, and switched them for a pair that is a little shinier.

The sooner I realized this, the sooner I knew that I needed a change.

In comes Kam George…

The team is moving and grooving in a great direction, people are making some money, as well seeing results from the product, which has made me pretty happy!

…And then I meet a guy with the same name as me, turning everything I thought I knew upside down…

Kameron George has some radical opinions on the networking niche, and revolutionary concepts far ahead of his time!

He ended up joining the team a few months after myself, and things really started to take off for us!

We traveled around together, took a few trips to some dope spots, and kicked it at home!

Check us out…

prepare yourself for your head to explode

Your head is about to pop, just as mine did.

I know this story is long, but I am doing that on purpose so you can get the full effect of who I am, everything I’ve accomplished, and truly see for yourself what IS and IS NOT working in the industry.

Keep reading…

So Kam and myself started to connect on some familiar topics, we’d hang out alot and chat life and business – we took a couple trips together, and the more I picked his brain, the more I realized he was on to something BIG! Not many people understood what he was up to.

At the time, Kam came from an interesting background, one in which he primarily made his sales online; a foreign world to me.

Take this into consideration, his mentorship is some of the most renowned internet marketers in the game: 7 even 8 figure earners, he knows what he’s talking about.

Continue to pay close attention here, because this is where the rubber meets and the road, and everything starts to come together.

We’d have these talks about leveraging the power of the internet, to automate the entire sales process…

What does that mean exactly?

Especially what does that mean if you come from a traditional MLM / Network Marketing background… It means this!

Now I’m convinced that Kam George is Morpheus

Now I’m convinced that Kam George is Morpheus

This guy did the whole “what if I told you…” scene from The Matrix, divulging information to me, basically allowing me to unplug!

Here’s the thing, this is the biggest game changing attitude / philosophy / practice EVER! Hands down, this is the way to go!

(what way is this you may ask, I will get to that shortly, all you need to know right now is that the internet is a powerful tool.)

I’ve been very successful in the MLM industry, by industry standards, which honestly aren’t that high, and for that reason alone what I am telling you right now is that there is a better way…

You can make money, without having to constantly call people and sit in coffee shops!

You never again need to sit in a presentation or ‘house-party’ and then awkwardly ask your friend, or a stranger, to join your team!

Look, I used to work 16 hours a day driving from Starbucks to Second Cup back to Starbucks and then to someone’s house. It is the most inefficient way to create an income…

(I spent 4,000$ at Second Cup alone in 2011)

And THEN, you expect someone else to do the same thing you’re doing?

You’re preaching FREEDOM, when you yourself are not free? You’re working countless hours giving God knows how much money to Howard Shultz, you are the poster boy for the NFL, and aren’t actually living life. I do not care how much money you make, but if you are working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no real end in site… that is not living.

Once again, it is better than the alternative of having a full on job you hate, atleast in this scenario you are making money, and technically work for yourself.

The biggest thing that Kam George taught me during this time are two simple words:

live. life.

The absolute last thing we all want to be doing is working so hard, we do not have the time to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

All I was doing was working. Another coffee shop meeting, another conference call, another skype meeting, another seminar, another quarterly meeting, and then back to the coffee shop…

I don’t know about you, but that’s not the reason I entered the space in the first place. Do not get me wrong, I am no stranger to hardwork, but something was not adding up over time – the more and more I learned about the power of leveraging the internet and creating an automated sales process, and the more people I hung out who were doing the same thing, but who were actually enjoying their lives, made me question everything.

I decided it was time to change. 

I was hanging around top earners in traditional MLMs and they were miserable, why, because their dream turned into a job…

I started to hang around top online marketers, and they are jacked on life, why, because they truly do something once, monitor it’s progress and get on with their day.

Life is not about working all the time! There is no shame in making money while you sleep, that is the damn goal!

For some reason there is this stigma going around, that if you aren’t constantly grinding, constantly working, or constantly struggling, you are doing something wrong.

– Your Network Marketing opportunity, should not be a grind.

– Your job shout not be a grind.

– Your relationship with your spouse, should not be a grind.

– You don’t have to be ‘hustling’ 24/7.

Yes, all of these things take work, and there is no such thing as something for nothing. But killing ourselves to obtain our visions, isn’t the right approach either in this niche.

There is actually such thing as being an intelligent lazy person. 

I know the words lazy and intelligent are somewhat of an oxymoron together, but the smartest people on the planet, do the smallest amount of work. 

2 words for ya, automation and outsourcing.

Previously I said, ‘killing ourselves in this niche to obtain our visions is not necessary.‘I preface in ‘this niche,’ because in other areas of business, it may absolutely be necessary to sacrifice much for great reward.

Steve Jobs is an excellent example, he changed the world, but also paid the ultimate price.

Elon Musk is a modern day renaissance man, but he explicitly says that no one would want to be him – he cannot sleep at night.

But in this space, the networking space that is, we do not need to be doing that. We do not need to be killing ourselves.

The aforementioned guys are creating new industries / paving the way for technological advancements that we cannot begin to comprehend… I mean Elon owns a space agency, I’m pretty sure he’s got some stress you and I cannot relate to.   

I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum… Maybe you can relate.

Where you work work work work work and have no time, but money saved up.

or

You have all the time in the world, but no money to do anything.

Anyway, after Morpheus (Kam) redpilled me, I decided to start working with him online…

(I am going to show you what ‘working online’ looks like later on, or if you want to work with me, I’ll teach you)

Keep reading and see what happened.

watch this

seeing the world how I did was a wild ride!

The video from above kind of sums everything up – I saw the world.

I made some amazing friends along the way, from many walks of life, which I still keep in contact with to this day.

One of the biggest things I learned in this part of my story, is that we are all human beings, but just go about things a little bit
differently…

I call this ‘gaining perspective’

It is something that money cannot buy you. You cannot go into the store, look on the shelf, and purchase a bag of ‘perspective.’

Not being tied to a regular ‘job’ allowed me to go out there and gain that perspective, which I will take with me until I eventually move to the next life.

I am so happy, blessed and fortunate to be able to go do what I have done in such a short period of time. Most people don’t believe me when I tell them stories of things I’ve seen or done, or places I’ve lived because of my age… No possible way I could do all that by the age of like 25…

I do not want to go into full blown details of my travels, cause the stories could go on forever… Just know I had / have fun!

… and then I came home.

I opened a hotel and helped launch a restaurant

I opened a hotel and helped launch a restaurant

I know, random hey?

I am still weirded out by it to be completely honest…

This part of my life is a full-on book on its own, that should be entitled “How To Age 25 Years In 3.”

I shit you not, the hospitality industry, is the one industry that will get ya looking old FAST!

So, how did I go from working online and killing the game to hotels and restaurants?

If you read the story, earlier I spoke on how I was a bouncer at one point and even did some time bartending/serving in the industry – so I was around it and understood it. I also enjoy / enjoyed taking care of people. I actually really enjoy hosting people, to be more specific, and the feeling I gain from watching someone else have a great experience – to me it is something money cannot buy.

That way of thinking, which comes natural to me, accelerated me in the hospitality industry… So much so an old High School friend reached out to me and asked if I wanted to help open / launch a restaurant with him.

Oh, at this point I also was / is an investor in Lyfe Kitchen / Luvo – (shameless plug – if you’re out and about shopping, give these brands a try)

These companies both align with my vision of providing quality food at good prices. (I sound like a salesman there, but they really are good)

Anyway, I helped open this restaurant in my hometown, a pizza joint called The Parlour. I actually worked the store with a broken leg for the first 3 months, because I came home and re-snapped my ankle while running outside, only a week after landing back in Canada!

That restaurant is my baby, and I am so very thankful for the opportunities that arose from it! 

I also found that people take me alot more seriously in the online space because of them physically seeing I am able to run a successful business, offline.

traditional business gave me more credibility / real world applications

traditional business gave me more credibility and real world applications.

Like I said, I could write an entire book on the subject of opening a restaurant. I am actually going to leave the details of the hotel out of this as well, simply because it is another story for another time all on its own. I am sure you can imagine the two businesses going on at the same time, would be a handful / have some interesting pieces attached to it…

Like maybe having a shooting at the hotel, or I possibly had a brothel operating out of it, or my first guest ever decided to use it as a methlab… it was wild.

I’ve never seen meth before, and let me tell you, it is quite an experience… hahaha

Anyway, I want to leave you with some value during this part of my story, so I will share with you my top 5 learning lessons of traditional business.

• What does not get measured does not get done.

• Never date an employee of yours. (and I mean NEVER)

• Treat everyone, and I mean everyone, with respect – you never know who you are interacting with.

• Work with the habit of doing more than paid for.

• Be prepared for things to be 10x harder / more expensive / longer than you anticipated.

Take these little pointers and run with them if you are working for yourself. They are concepts that will most definitely improve your business!

These can be applied to Network Marketing / Affiliate Marketing as well as traditional business. Although, for myself personally, I did not really use them until I started in the traditional world.

Now, this takes us to the last segment of my story, and consequently the end, or the beginning – just depends on how you look at it… 

I am currently taking everything day by day, and fully living in the moment to the best of my ability – when new opportunities arise, I take them and run!

When new opportunities arise, I take them and run!

It sure has been a wild adventure up until this point!

I want to thank-you for sticking with me this far in my journey… I really hope that you have absorbed some sort of value / take-away from reading all of this. One of my goals in life is to inspire others to go and achieve…

I really feel that we all can BE – DO – HAVE – anything we believe we can go out there and get!

(the keyword being ‘belief’)

So, what I am doing to go BE DO & HAVE at this point in my life? Currently I am working online, using the internet as a way to create automated sales.

(this is where money comes in 24/7 – 365)

As stated before in the ‘automation’ section of my story – I promised I would somewhat fill you in on what “working online” really means.

There are many moving parts to this whole thing, which I will spare you the details, instead give you a birds eye view of what’s going on…

(If you do ever want to work with me, I’d be more than glad to fill you in on the technical details of working online – right now is not the place – this story has got to come to an end soon, I feel I’ve been writing for days)

Essentially, I am promoting an offer that pays a great commission! That’s it. It is pretty straight forward. We call this, Affiliate Marketing.

(here is a blog post that will put it in more perspective for you – check it out)

I’ll drop a link at the bottom of this page that will take you to a video showcasing what exact offer I am promoting / with the team I am promoting it with.

It’ll be a video of some of my friends telling you their experiences / stories / and guide you through the process. All you have to do is press the button to take you there  – I highly encourage that you do.

I have great mentorship around me, and some of the brightest minds in the industry on my side.

What does this ‘working online’ thing allow me to do?

• It allows me to phase out of the hospitality industry! I have nothing against it, it is just an industry that will age you quickly if you are not careful…

• It allows me to travel at my leisure, and go experience the world in a different setting. You cannot buy ‘experience’ at the grocery store. You can only go out in the world and LIVE it, to truly GET it.

As I write this, I just reminded myself that I also have a Heli-Skiing tripped booked in a few weeks time… Should be one hell of an EXPERIENCE.

(see what I did there)

• The time freedom allows creative expression to be magnified – playing my guitar or writing music are 2 of my favorite past times.

(I am actually a recording artist with 2 albums and over 300 live shows under my belt)

That is a part of my life I tend to keep separate from the online brand, Cameron, but I thought you should know what I do for fun / what keeps me alive on the inside.

I feel if we do not do what we are pulled towards doing, we will die.

I know that for myself, if I am not able to be creative, I want to quit life – I know that sounds a little harsh, but it is true.

“as a creator you belong to the free, as an exchanger you are their slave and instrument.”

– Nietzsche

I do feel that it is time for me to wrap this entire life story of mine up!

I want to thank-you once again for taking the time to REALLY getting to know me. I do not share these stories with anyone, and it is pretty wild I have just written it all down for the world to see.

Once again, I hope you can pull some value from my personal story, as well, keep scrolling and click the link to see what I am working on.

‘ “If we are related,” said the immortal Emerson, “we shall meet.” In closing, may I borrow his thought, and say, “If we are related, we have, through these pages, met.” ‘
