For those of you that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, let me introduce myself. My name is Paul O’Mahony and over the last 12 years my sole focus has been to empower ordinary people to live extraordinary lives all around the world.

My story doesn’t start with a silver spoon in my mouth, in fact I had a very normal upbringing. I went to school, focused on my grades, went to University to get my degree because ‘well, that’s how you become successful in life’ and got a job. And it was quite a good job. I worked for a US Multinational corporation for nine years. Life was ok.

But that was the problem. It was just, ok. I had spent all this time following what I was supposed to do, got towards the top of the hill and saw that the future wasn’t all that great. The higher up the corporate ladder I went, the more I worked. The longer the hours. The less time I had to spend with my loved ones.

I knew that life was more than wake up, go to work and come home. It couldn’t just be this. So I knew I needed to start my own business.

But I had the same problems and pitfalls as everyone. Zero experience, no time and no direction.

The only difference? I invested in my education to get someone to show me exactly what to do. Even though I couldn’t afford it and even though I had never done anything like this before, I knew with 100% certainty that if someone who had done this before showed me, I could make it a success.

So back on July 18th 2009 I started my first business and within 6 months I had grown it to over $10,000 a month. How? I was utilising the immense power of social media. That’s it. In fact, I was able to make my first 2 online sales on my second day of using Twitter to sell products. And as a result I built that to 30,000 followers in just one month (@Paulomahony).

In the following years I’ve built multiple 6 and 7 figure businesses following the same principals I used to get my first 2 sales. Regardless of the business, product or cost of what you’re selling, the system doesn’t change. It’s just repeat and scale.

The reason I am telling you this story is that I want you to see that with the right system and guidance, anyone can do this.

You don’t need qualifications, you don’t need tens of thousands in the bank, you don’t need any prior experience and you don’t need to spend hours and hours a day on this business to start it. In fact, most of my students start their business alongside a full time job.

This is the power of social media and this is how you can start your business today.
