Matt McWilliams is one of the best examples of a spinoff success that I've come across. Matt leveraged his own business and marketing experience to help content creators and online entrepreneurs like Brian Tracy, Michael Hyatt, Ray Edwards, Lewis Howes and Jeff Goins grow their audience and promote their products. Now he teaches creators and business owners on and offline how to leverage affiliate programs and deploy other online business tools.

We talked for over an hour but Matt delivered so much value that I broke it into two parts.

In part 1 of our interview, Matt shares his fascinating back story and describes how he helps businesses grow using affiliates.

Tune in to part 2 next week where Matt shares in-depth information on choosing an affiliate model, how to figure out what your audience will buy and how he repurposes content for maximum reach and endless relevance.

​

Matt taught himself marketing and basic business principles when he helped run and promote his family's golf school. You'll learn how he continued to acquire and stack his skills in many different ways to assist other business owners and content creators and build a successful business of his own.

Jennifer Gallagher began her career in corporate training and development and leveraged both hard and soft skills to choose work that aligned with her goals and values. She describes how she leveraged her skills and willingness to learn to create two new and completely different opportunities.

Jennifer is a veteran digital marketing and life consultant. After leaving her corporate position, she began a career in the online world 13 years ago as a Virtual Assistant (VA), became an online business manager, and then ran a large VA firm with her “partner-in-crime”, Bethany Hannah for 7 years. 

Through their time managing the VA firm, Jennifer and Bethany helped entrepreneurs strategize and run 6 & 7-figure launches, showcase their expertise and build their business in a way that was authentically them.

When Jennifer and Bethany realized that they shared a calling to help ONE MILLION women create the business and life of their dreams, their business, "Intentional Fate" was born. 

Jennifer and I discuss both soft and tangible skills that allowed her to cherry-pick opportunities throughout her life and career. Many of the skills we discussed were self-taught with the help of modern technology and tools (Hello Google and Youtube!). These skills include:

• Communication
• Training and presentation skills
• Google and Youtube search to learn software and apps
• Various email marketing, project and time management software
• Marketing
• Strategic cold-calling
• Facebook live, Pinterest
• Basecamp, BambooHR, Paymo, Teamwork

• Intentionalfate.com to help you get INTENTIONAL about your business and your life. 
• Intentional Fate facebook page where you can get tips, strategies and watch Jen and Bethany on fb live.
• Join the facebook group: Women Entrepreneurs Getting Intentional
• Follow the Intentional Fate Pinterest page.
