    Thanks for deciding to subscribe to my blog, it means a lot to me that people trust a normal guy from Ireland.

    You should be proud you're taking a new step to changing your life!

    bloggingbroughtmehere_3debook-coverAs you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I've made more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I travel the world and live my dream. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE Ebook, all 20,000 words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!

    Take ownership. Take action, and remember

    "If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs"
