Matt McAllister-Jones
Project Manager, Social Media Manager, and Consultant in Doncaster, United Kingdom
Hi, I'm Matt and before becoming a Digital Entrepreneur I was a Royal Navy Bomb Disposal Diver, and then a Project Manager in the Oil & Gas Industry. I decided a while ago that I was really unhappy with my life and where it was heading. I realised that I was throwing away my life working for someone else in a job that I hated, that gave me no satisfaction, and kept me away from my family. I was trading my time for money instead of enjoying my life. I began learning how to build a business on the internet through marketing and affiliate sales. At first I was terrified because I had no experience, and no idea of what I was doing but I did have a choice. I could either; step out of my comfort zone, fight my fears, and pursue my dreams, or live the rest of my life regretting not having the courage to do it! As I learned how to use the internet to create an income, and successfully manage social media accounts I increased my self confidence, improved my mindset, and expanded my Personal development and growth. Now that I have experience building my own business I really want to help others to achieve success like I have. I believe very strongly that everyone has the right to be happy and successful, and to be able to achieve their own goals and dreams. Whatever you do in life you’ve got to push yourself to the limit if you want to succeed. You may not be good at something in the beginning but with practice, practice, practice you’ll become great at it. ‘Nobody Ever Started Out As An Expert’.
Fear can be our biggest enemy in life and causes us to doubt our own skills and abilities. I know from experience that with the right encouragement, support, education and guidance, anyone can have a successful and financially secure future with an online business. One of the main reasons that people can be successful on the internet is because they can start a business in an subject or area that they are passionate about, which makes the whole learning process enjoyable . And when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work!
