Ricky Jo

I am turning 40 soon, although I often hear people say I look like I just got out of college.

Born and raised in Taiwan, I came to Canada when I was a teenager.

Native Mandarin speaker who learned to speak Cantonese and somewhat passable English.

A proud dog dad of a 7 year old Shih-Tzu and a 6 year old Chihuahua whom I rescued from a puppy mill.

I worked as a graphic/web designer for a short while and quickly realized a J.O.B. wasn't going to get me to where I wanted to be in life, so I left that industry looking for greener pastures.

Shortly after I quit, I was drawn to the idea of having no ceiling on my earning potential and got into sales.

I spent the next few years canvassing and knocking on doors in residential neighborhoods in frigid Canadian winters for hours on end promoting various products and services; then the next few years after that cold-calling businesses of all sizes, driving around and meeting clients day in day out.

Although the money was good, I realized I was still merely trading time for money. I was burning out and looking for a way out.

Fortunately, I found my calling when I first discovered the possibility to make money online. Fast forward to today, I work anytime I want and anywhere I want.

I am always cooking up strategies to grow my business and helping others do the same.

A big shout out to those who have influenced/taught/mentored me, whether we know each other on a personal level or not, you know who you are!

==============================

年近不惑的大叔級輕熟男，卻經常被誤認為是剛踏出校園的社會新鮮人。

在台灣出生、台北成長。加拿大生根。

高中時我隻身一人來到遙遠的楓葉國度求學。卻沒料到一待就是二十年。

能說一口純正的普通話，非常有限的閩南語，卻在加拿大學會了的還算流利的廣東話，跟差强人意的英語。

愛狗成痴的好狗爸，有一對可愛的姐妹花（西施7歲、吉娃娃5歲）。

所學專業是網頁設計。之後在這個領域耕耘了一段時間，逐漸體會到看似穩定的工作，並無法帶給我財富與自由。於是我選擇離開，尋找更開闊的天空。之後我輾轉進入了充滿挑戰與機遇的業務銷售領域，追求無上限的收入潛力。

接下來的幾年，我陸續經歷了各種商對商（B2B）、商對客（B2C）的業務銷售工作。

我曾在加拿大冬季的攝氏零下30度低溫下，挨家挨戶上門推銷產品。也曾埋首在辦公桌前，每天打上幾個小時電話找尋下一個潛在客戶。

這些年來跟來自各個國家的各色人種打交道，累積了豐富的社會經驗跟應變能力。

幾年的全力以赴，投入大量時間精力後，收入雖然尚可，但是從事業務工作「多勞才有得，手停錢就停，工時超長，周末無休」的宿命讓我疲憊不堪。

因此我開始瘋狂的尋找能夠更輕鬆賺錢的方法。

最好是錢多事少離家近，位高權重責任輕。工作時數可以越做越少，收入卻能越來越多。我不想在外奔波見客戶，也不想進辦公室，更不想爲了賺錢而被迫犧牲與家人相處的寶貴時間，然而我想要的這一切真的可能嗎？

我很幸運，因爲經過幾年的的摸索，我找到了答案。我發現了「人在家中坐、錢從世界來」的方法。

當我人在加拿大，足不出戶，卻能運用 Internet，靠著我的 Laptop和手機，在一個月内，順利成交了數個遠在澳洲、歐洲、東南亞等地，連彼此的面都沒見過的客戶之後，我決定徹底中止手邊的 Face to face傳統銷售業務，全心投入了這個領域。

這個轉換跑道的決定，讓我拓展了全新的視野。最重要的是不論身在何處，不論任何時間，只要有 Wifi 就能工作，就可以創收。也越來越接近先前設立的目標：收入持續增加、工時卻持續降低。

這一切都歸功於一路上啓發我，教導我的前輩們，無私傳授的技巧心法。You know who you are !
