Why Most People Struggle to Make Money Online (And What Finally Worked for Us)
If you’ve been trying to make money online whether its been for weeks, for months or even years, and you feel like you’re spinning your wheels, we want you to know something right from the start
You’re not failing
You’re just missing the right pieces
How do we know?
Because for a long time, we were missing them too
We were trying…
and clicking…
and hoping…
and wondering
“Does this actually work?”
“Where do I start?”
“Who do I trust?”
“Why is everyone else getting results except me?”
So today, come and have a listen to what we have to say
Because we want to share the moment our entire online journey changed forever and why most people struggle long before they ever succeed
It’s not because they’re too old
It’s not because they’re not techy
It’s not because they’re not “salesy”
And it’s definitely not because they lack potential
Most people struggle because of one simple thing
They’re trying to do it alone
We certainly were
We were buying courses… watching videos… joining groups…
but nothing made sense as a whole.
Everything felt disconnected, confusing, overwhelming
And the more we tried to piece it all together by ourselves, the more lost we became
Sound familiar?
The Moment Everything Finally Made Sense
We talk about this in a video we filmed several years ago in the Algarve, Portugal at a gorgeous five-star resort where we were invited to speak to over 600 online entrepreneurs.
But here’s the truth
Four years before that moment we had made very little online
We were exactly where you might be now, full of hope, trying everything, confused by everything, wondering
“Why isn’t this working for us?”
And then something changed…
We Found a Mentor and a System
This is the part most people skip
This is the part most people don’t even know they need
A mentor – someone who has done EXACTLY what you want to do
Plus
A system – simple, step-by-step, proven to work
Not random videos
Not a new course every week
Not trying to figure everything out alone
A real, repeatable process
That was the turning point for us
It didn’t matter that our mentor was younger
What mattered was this
👉 He had results
👉 He had a system
👉 And he was willing to guide us
That combination changed everything
We went from trading hours for money to learning leverage and earning even when we weren’t “working”
From confusion to clarity
From nothing much to finally building momentum
And it bought us to speaking on stage in Portugal
A Story We Always Carry With Us
Before we filmed that Portugal video, we were speaking at another event where we met a lovely man named Michael
Michael is legally blind
He sat right in the front row next to one of the other speakers determined, hopeful, ready to change his life
He wasn’t ready back then but like others in the audience we knew he wanted to build an online business and we knew he would
And guess what?
Twelve years later… he joined us
Still believing
Still committed
Still determined to build a better financial future
Michael reminds us every day:
Your circumstances do not limit your possibility – your decision does
So What Finally Worked for Us?
It wasn’t luck.
It wasn’t “the right time.”
It wasn’t talent or tech skills or youth.
It was this:
✔ Finding a mentor
✔ Following a proven system
✔ Staying consistent
✔ Plugging into a community
✔ Learning leverage
✔ And NOT trying to do it alone
The program we used in those early years no longer exists, but the people we met inside it went on to create something even better
The Home Business Academy
A simple, heart-led system designed to help people (especially those 50+) start earning online without needing to be tech wizards or marketing experts.
The very thing we wish we had when we began
You can meet them and have an overview of their system here
If you’re struggling to make money online…
If you’ve tried things that didn’t work…
If you feel stuck…
If you feel behind…
Please know this:
You are not the problem
Your system is
Once you have the right mentor, the right process, and the right support, everything changes.
It did for us
It will for Michael
And it can for you, too
Do make sure to watch the video we recorded in Portugal
We hope it truly inspires you to see what’s possible when you know what you now know!
Because we were no different to you
We just made a good decision to never give up until we found what worked
