Who is Heather Gowrie?

Have you ever thought to yourself, “this job sucks – I would rather be making porn”? Well, I have. After having to call a major airline for the third time to beg them to change their flight schedule to meet my bosses sleeping schedule, I decided I had had enough. I walked right into her office and quit.
I had no plan. I would have rather be making adult videos.
I worked for myself for about 8 months. I loved working for myself. I loved setting my own hours and working on my projects. However, without a plan and without any guidance, I faltered really quickly. I wasn’t building a business, I was just trying to stay one step ahead of the bills.
I started out writing articles and doing odd jobs for people online. But I was taking jobs that didn’t pay more than $5.00 an article and I found that I couldn’t write enough every day to make money. You see, I like to write sentences that make sense. I like to write words that people may actually read and I was competing with international outsourcing where the going rate for articles is about $2.00 each and no grammar skills needed. I could produce 5 articles a day, but most vendors expected 10-to-15 badly written 500-word articles a day.
Not having a plan became evident very quickly. I ended going back to an office. And the cycle began again.
Instead of quitting, I have a plan. I’m building my business and sharing with you how to do what I do. Don’t be like the old me, your business will suffer and you’ll find yourself back in the work cycle again. I want you to be successful and I want you to learn from my mistakes.
