About Anthony D. Smith

My adventure with the internet began back in 2000 when I was 14, when getting an email (even spam!) was pretty cool.

That's right, I started my entrepreneurial journey when most kids my age were just figuring out their favorite video games.

I was fascinated by the idea of making money online, working from home, and doing things differently from everyone else. I didn't want to follow the usual path; I wanted to blaze my own trail.

My first computer and the internet opened up a world of possibilities for me. Even though my family didn't have much, that didn't stop me from diving headfirst into online business, from network marketing to affiliate marketing and beyond.

I was hooked on the freedom and creativity it offered, and I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life. I even started building websites for others, which led me to run my own small agency for a while.

But life has a funny way of throwing curveballs. Just when things seemed to be going smoothly, I faced a major setback: not one, but two severe car accidents.

These accidents left me with injuries that required multiple surgeries and a long recovery period.

Overnight, everything changed.

I lost my job as a production supervisor, a role I had worked hard to excel in, along with the security and benefits it provided. This was a turning point for me; I had to figure out what to do next.

Refusing to be knocked down by circumstances, I fully embraced the work-from-home lifestyle. I discovered business opportunities that didn't just promise income, but offered the kind of flexibility and potential I needed, especially during my recovery.

I focused on passive income streams that allowed me to work at my own pace, on my terms, and still achieve success.

And guess what?

It worked!

Today, I'm not just surviving; I'm thriving.

I've found a handful of work-from-home businesses & business models that are perfect for anyone, whether you're an introvert, extrovert, people person, or prefer to stay behind the scenes.

My journey taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of finding work that doesn't just pay the bills but fulfills you. I'm here to tell you that it's possible to overcome challenges and come out stronger on the other side.

I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned with others. Whether you're looking for a way to start your own journey towards financial freedom, or you're navigating your own challenges, I'm here to help.

Through my services and advice, I aim to provide the tools and support you need to succeed, just like I did. Let's make your dreams a reality together.

Ready to start your journey or just want to chat? Reach out to me, and let's make things happen. And remember, no matter where you're starting from or what you've been through, there's always a path forward.

I love what I do because it gives me the ultimate work-from-home lifestyle.

Imagine waking up and your commute is just a few seconds from your bed to your workspace.

That's my life.

I can start my day in pajamas, mixing comfort with professionalism, thanks to video calls where you only see the top half!

This lifestyle offers me flexibility and time freedom, which I deeply value and don't take for granted.

My passion is fueled by the personal benefits I reap from working from home.

It's a selfish passion, but it's also one I dream of sharing with others.

I believe everyone who desires this lifestyle should have the opportunity to achieve it. Living my perfect day, every day, might not mean everything's perfect, but it means I have the chance to make the most of each day, pursuing what truly matters to me.

I earn a good living, not just scraping by but truly thriving, enjoying the lifestyle I always wanted.

It's not about being rich; it's about the freedom to spend my time and money on the things I love, like going to comedy shows, concerts, and experiencing live entertainment. 

It's about not having to worry about the small things, like what brand of cereal to buy — for the record, Kellogg's Raisin Bran all the way!

This freedom extends beyond my personal desires; it allows me to help family members who might not have the same opportunities or share my entrepreneurial spirit. While they pursue their own paths, I cherish the ability to support them in ways I couldn't have imagined before.

What drives me isn't just the financial aspect either.

It's the ability to live life on my terms.

To not worry about the cost of running my AC or heating, or replacing clothes without a second thought.

It's about overcoming the limitations of my childhood, where choices were often dictated by necessity rather than preference.

I'm an entrepreneurial nerd at heart, always eager to explore and share new opportunities within the work-from-home and make-money-online realms.

This world fascinates me, and I love diving into new projects, learning, and then sharing those discoveries with others who are just as passionate about finding their path to success and freedom.

My approach to business isn't tied up in complicated principles or high-minded values that are hard to explain. Instead, it's pretty straightforward: I look for opportunities that fit my life, not the other way around.

Here’s what guides me:

• Work from Anywhere: I wanted a business that lets me work from home, online, with a computer or even without one. The key? Flexibility. I craved a setup that didn’t chain me to a single spot or device.
• No Selling to Friends or Spamming: It was crucial that my business didn’t rely on selling to friends, family, or spamming strangers on social media. That’s a deal-breaker for me.
• Accessible to Ordinary People: Whatever I do has to work for the average Joe. I’m not interested in mastering complex skills or being the best in the field. I want opportunities that shine on their own, so I don’t have to.
• Low Barrier to Entry: This is important, but it’s not about just being easy to start. It’s about sustainability and growth, regardless of how many people are doing it. The idea is to find something that doesn’t become less valuable as more people join in, to me or to them.
• Income Potential: Whether it’s creating passive income, earning a steady paycheck, or hitting big cash paydays, what I’m involved in has to make financial sense. I aim for ventures that don’t just promise, but deliver real earning potential.
• Shareability: I gravitate towards businesses that benefit from being shared. Success for me shouldn’t mean less success for someone else. In fact, the ideal scenario is one where success breeds more success, without worrying about competition.

In essence, I’m all about finding and working with systems that are extraordinary, so I don’t have to be.

It’s about making sure that the business runs effectively, offering freedom and financial security, without demanding the impossible from me.

And when I find something that works, I’m eager to share it, building a community where everyone’s success contributes to the whole, rather than detracting from it.

That's the sweet spot for me, and it’s what I aim to share with the world.

What sets me apart in my field?

It's quite simple: I’m not unique or special, and that's exactly my edge.

My mission centers around empowering ordinary people to achieve extraordinary income and enjoy the ultimate work-from-home lifestyle without being exceptional at anything specific. That’s the crux of it.

I haven’t invented a new method or crafted a unique product. Instead, I've embraced and promoted existing opportunities that many overlook or underestimate.

My approach is grounded in the belief that success shouldn’t require being a genius or a standout in any traditional sense. It’s about finding systems that are brilliantly designed to work for anyone willing to put in the effort.

One aspect of my work involves guiding people towards passive income opportunities.

These aren’t complex schemes but simple, accessible models.

For instance, one of my strategies is about a business model that seems too daunting for many but is actually quite achievable and profitable.

Another part of my approach focuses on living a healthier lifestyle and sharing where I shop to achieve this. Many who join this venture aren’t in it for the money; they’re here for the quality of life it brings. This emphasizes that success in my world isn’t just about earning potential; it’s about genuine satisfaction and improvement of life.

Unique to one of my business models is the cost and effort associated with leads. In an industry where people spend a fortune on leads, often to no avail, I’m part of a system that provides leads at no cost.

This is a game-changer, eliminating one of the biggest barriers to success in this space.

But perhaps what truly makes my approach unique is the simplicity and accessibility of the methods I advocate.

I’m not about creating something new but rather about leveraging what’s already out there and proving it can work wonderfully well for the “average” person. 

It’s about minimal investment for maximum return, achievable through simple actions like reading a Google Doc, using basic software, or having a conversation over video.

I make it clear that there are no guarantees of income—success comes with its risks, and not everyone will make money. However, the potential is there to make significant income promptly, depending on how much effort one is willing to put in.

Ultimately, what makes my approach unique is that it's designed for people like me and you.

You don't have to be special or famous to succeed.

My work is proof that with the right mindset and tools, ordinary people can live extraordinary lives.

That’s the message I want to share: suspend disbelief, be curious, and you might just find a path to the life you’ve always wanted.

One of my proudest moments came early in my journey with one of my businesses.

Right off the bat, in my first month, I managed to sell over $18,000 in production with no prior experience and as a complete novice with very little training--literally weeks after I made a small investment and got started.

This was in the same business where I say, if you can read from a Google Document, type on your computer, and talk to someone over video chat, you're set. This isn't just a tale of personal success; it's a testament to the system's effectiveness and simplicity.

Every day, or consistently throughout the week, I follow this process.

I get up, connect with people over video calls, guide them through the information already prepared for me in a Google Doc, and that's it.

The results speak for themselves—not just for me but for others I've introduced to the business.

Teaching them this straightforward approach has enabled many to achieve similar success.

It’s not about the complexity of the work but the effectiveness of clear communication and following a simple system.

What makes this win significant isn't just the financial achievement. It's about the approach. Despite the high value of the commission to me, it's far from what many would consider "high ticket" from the client's point of view.

For example: If they invest $291 today the company I sell for will direct deposit over $1,000 into my account by this time next Friday and another $1,000+ throughout the year + lifetime renewal commissions to boot!) .

Achieving this success wasn't about having special skills or insider knowledge. If anything, it was about embracing failure as a stepping stone. I like to think of it as failing my way to success. Out of the total production, a good chunk represented learning experiences—what some might call "mistakes." But these weren't financial losses; I didn't have to put up any money for the opportunity outside of a simple licensing fee; they were investments in learning the process, refining my approach, and understanding the system better.

This experience underscores a critical lesson: success, especially in the realm of work-from-home businesses, isn't about avoiding failure.

It's about moving through it, learning quickly, and applying those lessons to improve and grow. And perhaps most importantly, it shows that with the right system and a bit of dedication, extraordinary results are within reach for anyone willing to put in the effort.

Overcoming challenges has been a significant part of my journey.

The biggest hurdles weren't about mastering a new business or learning the ins and outs of a work-from-home setup. Instead, they were deeply personal and profoundly impactful events that tested my resilience at every turn.

Firstly, diving into a new business venture and achieving quick success was a challenge in itself, but doing so while recovering from not one, but two major car accidents that left me needing three surgeries was something else entirely.

These accidents didn't just impact me physically; they turned my life upside down, introducing anxiety, depression, and PTSD into my daily life. This experience pushed me to seek help and become a strong advocate for mental health support—a resource I never anticipated needing.

Amid my recovery and mental health struggles, I also faced the heart-wrenching loss of my grandmother, a cornerstone of my life. She battled dementia, a condition that made it even more challenging to connect with her in her final days. The emotional toll of her passing, combined with my own physical and psychological healing, was overwhelming.

Despite these obstacles, I forged ahead with my newest home business. Remarkably, within my first few hours of independent work after mentorship, I achieved $4,000 in production (not typical by any means...and I think most people give up). This wasn't just a financial win; it was a testament to my ability to push through adversity.

The real battle wasn't the business or the financial goals; it was life itself—dealing with the aftermath of accidents, navigating grief, managing mental health, and handling the endless demands from healthcare providers and insurance adjusters.

Yet, through all of this, I learned an invaluable lesson: if I, an ordinary person, can navigate through these extraordinary obstacles and still create what I call the ultimate work-from-home lifestyle, then truly, anyone can.

It's not about the absence of challenges; it's about the resilience and determination to move through them.

My journey shows that with perseverance, support, and a willingness to face life head-on, achieving your goals is more than just possible—it's within reach, regardless of the hurdles you may face.

I offer three distinct business opportunities, each tailored to solve different problems and cater to various needs, ensuring there's something for everyone.

• #01. Digital Product Creation
  
  First up, I have a business that revolves around creating digital products once, then earning from them indefinitely—think of it as selling "perpetual lemonade."
  
  This is the essence of passive income.
  
  The beauty here is that you put in the work upfront to create a product, like an e-book or an online course or audio recording, that addresses a specific problem or teaches a skill, and then you continue to profit from it over time without much or any additional effort.
  
  This business is fantastic for anyone looking to solve a particular problem or improve an aspect of other's lives, providing a reliable passive income stream by selling valuable information repeatedly.
  
  
• #02. Being A Virtual Life Insurance Agent
  
  The second business is about protecting families and their futures, and where on average 30% to 40% of families I sit with virtually convert into paying customers.
  
  Selling life insurance from home allows me to earn significantly.
  
  It's an attractive model for those seeking a business with a low entry cost and the capability to generate very, almost immediate income, assuming they have the proper licensing and go all-in.
  
  Plus, it’s designed for longevity, offering a way to build passive income through renewals which are yours for life (and in my case are able to be passed on to those I love).
  
  
• 3. Wellness and Household Products
  
  Lastly, I've shifted to purchasing my household and wellness products from a company that prioritizes better, safer, and more environmentally friendly products.
  
  This change isn't just about enhancing my personal life; it also opens up an opportunity for others to do the same.
  
  By switching to superior products that last longer and save money in the long run, and sharing this switch with others, I earn monthly ongoing commissions.
  
  Most people who join this business are happy just being customers due to the high quality of the products and their savings, but the option to build a business and earn is there, offering a very tangible way to generate a lifelong passive income.

Each of these businesses addresses specific needs:

• The digital products business solves individual problems with tailored solutions, creating a direct path to bettering lives through information.
• The virtual life insurance sales offers a fast track to income generation with a low barrier to entry, making money attainable and sustainable.
• The wellness through healthier household products business enhances personal and environmental health while providing an easy start-up and the potential for a passive income that can last a lifetime.

These opportunities are designed not just to generate income but to improve lives, create lasting solutions, and offer genuine value to their clients and customers.

Whether you're looking to earn passively, create immediate income, or switch to healthier lifestyle choices with the added benefit of earning, there's a fit for you in what I offer.

To stay updated and continue learning in my field, I adopt a balanced approach.

While I'm not a fan of chasing trends just for the sake of it, I recognize the importance of keeping an eye on new developments.

I allocate about 10% to 20% of my time (and sometimes money) to explore these "bright shiny objects." This strategy helps me stay current without losing focus on proven methods that form the core of my businesses.

Additionally, I'm part of a paid Mastermind group that meets online weekly. Participation in this group is an investment in staying informed and connected with innovative ideas and practices.

It's not just about following the latest buzz but finding genuine value and actionable insights that can be applied to my work.

This group provides an environment for exchange and growth, offering access to recordings for sessions I might miss, ensuring I'm always in the loop.

My stance on self-help and personal development materials is somewhat critical.

Despite having a vast library of such resources, I'm selective about what I find truly valuable.

Much of the self-help industry doesn't resonate with me, as I believe only a fraction of it is genuinely impactful.

This skepticism keeps me grounded and focused on substance over hype.

In my journey, I lean on a few key individuals I consider my gurus—not in the conventional sense, but as experts who genuinely lead by example in the industries I'm involved with.

Their guidance and insights are instrumental in helping me navigate my path and stay ahead in my endeavors.

Ultimately, my learning strategy is about filtering through the noise to find real, applicable knowledge.

Whether through selective attention to new trends, engaging with a focused Mastermind group, or drawing from a handful of trusted mentors, I ensure that continuous learning propels my business forward without getting sidetracked by the unessential.

Outside of work, my life is rich with activities and connections that fill my days with joy and fulfillment.

My perfect day is all about indulging in the things I love: friends, family, live theater, stand-up comedy, concerts, and world-class magic acts.

I'm deeply passionate about the entertainment industry and seize every opportunity to immerse myself in the vibrant world of live performances.

Family is at the heart of my world. I love spending time with my little brother and his family or my older sister and hers.

My little brother is not only family but also an entrepreneur who introduced me to one of the ventures I'm involved in (he was my personal mentor in that business and still is today).

Our work allows us to stay connected, regardless of the distance between us.

He's moved around a bit—from California to Arizona, and possibly to Florida next—but no matter where he is, I cherish the chance to visit him and his beautiful family when we are able.

Being an uncle is a role I adore, and the flexibility of my work means I can be there for my nieces and nephews.

SIDENOTE: My little brother, a former executive chef (he went to the Art Institute of Ohio...some of his professors were also Bobby Flay's back in their day), has spoiled me with his culinary skills to the point where local restaurants here in Tri-City, Michigan just don't compare.

This, along with the ability to visit family in Ohio and spend time with my best friend a city away, a pharmacist with a lovely family of his own, underscores the freedom my lifestyle affords me.

Gone are the days when a corporate job consumed all my time and energy.

Now, my days are mine to spend as I wish, whether that's hosting friends and family or exploring new places, things, or venues.

Movies hold a special place in my heart, reminiscent of cherished memories with my grandmother.

She introduced me to classics like "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Fried Green Tomatoes," sparking a lifelong love for cinema.

Despite having a 75" screen TV at home, the experience of watching a movie in a theater is irreplaceable for me.

Living near well-known entertainment venues means I frequently indulge in my love for live shows. This proximity to culture and entertainment is something I treasure and make the most of regularly.

My entrepreneurial spirit extends into my personal interests at times.

I enjoy exploring new business ideas and niches, always on the lookout for innovative ways to make money and share those discoveries through my blog and digital creations.

My penchant for used books has led to a collection worth an estimated $20,000 if purchased at retail price.

This library is more than just a collection; it's a treasure trove of knowledge on marketing, advertising, self-help, and beyond.

The local library, too, holds a dear place in my heart, having been a cornerstone in my journey to financial literacy and independence before I could afford high-level (ahem, high priced) trainings.

In essence, my life outside of work is a blend of family, entertainment, continuous learning, and exploration—all of which make every day the perfect day in my eyes.

Choosing to work with me, or buy my stuff, or give your time to my free resources, isn't about convincing everyone that my way is the right way; it's about connecting with those who already see value in the lifestyle I advocate for—the ultimate work-from-home lifestyle.

I realize what I offer through my Trio of income streams isn't for everybody.

The vast majority of people might not be looking for what I have to offer, as many are searching for traditional jobs they can do from home or remote work opportunities, not necessarily entrepreneurial ventures or business opportunities that involve passive income streams and being their own boss.

What makes me the right choice for someone is more about alignment than persuasion.

If you're actively searching for ways to earn from home, interested in starting a business that offers flexibility, or curious about building passive income, then what I do might resonate with you.

On the other hand, we need pharmacists, healthcare workers, and people in various industries; not everyone is looking for a shift or an alternative to traditional employment.

The diversity of my businesses means there's likely a fit for various personalities and preferences.

Whether you're an extrovert, introvert, shy away from large crowds (I'm the opposite... small crowds scare me as I feel more judged because in my mind everyone really is looking at me, but out of like a thousand people I figure chances are good someone loves me), or prefer not to put yourself out there, there's probably an option within my portfolio that could align with your unique characteristics. 

The essence of what I offer is suited to those open to the idea of working from home, eager for passive income, and looking to make money in a relatively short period compared to traditional business ventures.

Choosing to work with me comes down to a desire for a certain lifestyle—one where you're not living paycheck to paycheck, where you can afford both necessities and luxuries, and where you genuinely enjoy life's moments.

It's not about not wanting to work hard; it's about working smart and being open to opportunities that might initially require a leap of faith and what-feels-like-blind action.

I'm here for people who are already motivated, a bit skeptical (which is healthy), and willing to suspend their disbelief long enough to investigate what I have to offer.

I don't need to convince; I prefer to attract those who see the potential and are ready to explore further.

If you're reading this and feel a spark of interest or curiosity, perhaps this could be the beginning of something life-changing. But ultimately, it's up to you to decide if what I offer is the right fit for your aspirations and lifestyle goals.

I don't claim to predict the future or have a crystal ball to see what's ahead in the world of work-from-home. 

Predicting isn't my style; I prefer to respond to what actually happens, making decisions based on the realities of the moment. But if you're looking for a guess on how things might unfold, here's my take:

The future isn't about a massive shift in numbers between those who work from home and those who don't, but rather about the quality and nature of opportunities available.

The world is moving into uncharted territory (especially with A.I.), full of incredible opportunities for those ready to embrace them.

The real question isn't about what will happen on a global scale but about whether you, personally, will be among those who grab these opportunities.

I'm offering not just predictions, but real chances to be part of this future—right now, I've got three opportunities that might just fit what you're looking for.

So, while I can't tell you exactly what the future holds, I can offer you a path to take a proactive role in shaping your own.

Are you ready to be one of the people who embraces these opportunities?

My mission is quite straightforward: to continue living my version of the perfect day, every day.

It's about maintaining a lifestyle where happiness is at the forefront, staying true to the essence of the great North American Dream.

Happiness, for me, is rooted deeply in the time spent with family and friends, loving them, and sharing life's journey together.

Looking forward, I see myself steadfast in this pursuit, embracing the ultimate work-from-home lifestyle not just for myself but as a model for others to follow.

I aim to be a vessel for those who choose to join me in any of my ventures, hoping they too can achieve what I have and enjoy the freedom and fulfillment that comes with it... and much, much more.

In the next few years, I anticipate more of the same—pursuing my current goals with no intention of stopping.

The only change might be transitioning to living fully on renewal commissions and investments, which would allow even more time for family and friends. At which point I'd still have a hand in maintaining this personal brand I've built.

At the end of the day, it's about reaching a stage in life where we can focus on what truly matters, and for me, that means making every day count with the people I love. It could mean that for you, too.

Whether it’s through reading my blog, interacting on social media, or signing up for my newsletter, I’m here to guide you into a future where your work-from-home dreams can become your reality.

Let’s make it happen!

My advice for anyone starting out in this field is straightforward: Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

Success leaves clues, and there's immense value in following the paths already paved by those who have succeeded before you.

Trying to be a hero, to blaze an entirely new path where no one else has dared to tread, isn't just difficult; it's often unnecessary.

I once came across a powerful message from a speaker (whose name escapes me) in a YouTube video.

He asked his audience to write the word "HERO" on a piece of paper, then crumple it up and throw it away. This act was symbolic of the mindset needed to succeed: don't strive to be the lone hero.

Quit trying to forge new paths in areas where effective methods and strategies already exist.

While the idea of taking the path less traveled has its poetic charm, in reality, it's filled with unnecessary obstacles and lessons that could be avoided by simply following proven routes.

Why spend precious time and resources on trial and error when you can emulate and adapt strategies that have been shown to work?

Remember, being a "Mockingbird" in this context isn't about lacking originality; it's about smartly leveraging existing knowledge and building upon it.

So, if you're just starting out, focus on learning from those who've already achieved what you aspire to. Don't listen to anyone not actually doing anything or those being an info-blower with no basis for their claims (those people suck and are worthless to you). And don't listen to anyone who only makes money by talking about making money (that is the main aspect of profitability for this website and my personal brand, but I spend most of my time in virtual life insurance sales, not telling people how to make money, and not running this website or selling to you, although, the systems I have in place probably make you feel like I do).

Adapt their strategies to your situation, and don't waste time trying to be a hero by venturing into the unknown without reason. This approach is not just practical; it's a smart way to fast-track your success.

Nothing really. Just that Jesus is real and that's probably the most important thing but nobody would receive it if I started with that in the beginning of this page 😉
