David Sharpe was a 9th Grade Drop Out and is now an INC 5000 Recipient - All From Building Online Education From Home.
When David Sharpe was 24 years old, he found himself homeless, strung out, withdrawing from heroin and other opiate painkillers, and desperately needed help.
One day, he made his way to his Dad's house, standing at his dad's door. He stood there weak, frail, almost unable to raise his arm to knock on the door.
Dave's dad hadn't seen him in years and as they stood there face to face, Dave asked humbly, "Help me save my life."
His Dad opened the door, let Dave sleep on his couch, brought him along on construction jobs, and gave him a safe place to try and piece his life back together.
The hours working construction were long.
After sweating endlessly in the hot Florida sun on job sites, Dave was again feeling stuck like there was no end in sight. He was driven to continue to grow more, push harder, and be something bigger than a construction worker.
He found himself surfing the web on his old clunky, painfully slow computer, and made the first most important search that many today find themselves making…
How do I make money online?
Dave may be a 9th-grade dropout, but he was smart enough to know that he wanted to own his own business.
Like all aspiring business owners, he wanted to build a business with an endless supply of customers.
BUT, he wanted to achieve this dream by working from home.
This was NOT a concept accepted 14 years ago.
Working from home was almost unheard of, let alone building an entire business that is remote-based.
Dave went for it anyways. He had nothing to lose.
He kept searching for ways to make this dream a reality.
One day, he had a million-dollar discovery while standing in a hardware store.
"I looked over and I saw a man confused and I asked him if I could help out. He said his toilet was leaking and because of my construction experience, I was able to point him toward the little $5 wax ring that he needed to put under his toilet to create a waterproof seal. That confused man was instantly happy, so happy. In fact, he tipped me $100 Just to say thanks and that was the first money I'd earned from what I know versus what I did."
Dave realized the pathway to making his dream a reality.
Since then he's been packaging knowledge and selling it.
He put his strategies into action and built an online income to not only support himself and his family but thrive not just survive.
He's then taken all he learned, tested, and those proven strategies and results and is now teaching others to do the same.
Dave felt a calling to help as many people stop living a life of survival, but one that is meaningful, memorable, and filled with achievement and pride.
