Possibly on Saturday. Hit me up on Skype on Saturday and we'll see where I'm at.

I want to write this out, because I did see a hater write on this thread, before it was deleted. I want to give some perspective to what I am offering.
Let me first start by telling you guys where I came from. For much of my youth I grew up in a trailer home with my father. To give you an idea of what kind of trailer park this was, my neighbor shot a hole in my Pop's trailer, because he was mad at his wife, and misfired into our trailer. Nothing like eating Ramen noodles, while watching a shotgun blast through your kitchen window. I was 9.
Now, I grew in a decent area, with good schools, so by no means was it Compton or the South side of Boston. In fact most of my buddies were well off. I was always the guy who had a job. In fact, I started laying pavement for $4 an hour at the age of 12. From the age of 13 to 15, in the summer times, I would ride my bike 8 miles each way, to work 8 hours washing dishes. I did this 6 days a week. When I turned 16, I paid for my own car in cash. Point is, I've always had tremendous work ethic.
After high school I decided to put off college and tour with my band for two years. We traveled all across the US in the shittiest van you could possibly imagine. I mean, no windows, pedo type shit. It was so hot in the back, we would bungee the door open to catch a breeze.
From there, I put myself through college (PSU), worked all kinds of jobs, and even joined the Navy. Once I met my wife out of the service, I was working for Comcast installing cable. While I was making good money and I enjoyed the job, I always felt as though I was meant to do something else.
Three days before my wife was about to give birth to my first daughter, Comcast laid me off. I was using the company truck, so I had no vehicle. I was literally riding my shitty BMX bike to apply for $12 per hour warehouse jobs. Nothing more humiliating than riding your decrepit, worn out, P.O.S BMX bike down the street and having people yell, "That's what you get for drinking and driving asshole".
During this same period, I had met a guy on the Internet (no gay), who would essentially teach me his exact business model, in return for $1500. I had luckily saved around $20K, so that gave me some start up cost and rent for a few months, but the pressure was on. While most of my family and friends told me I was an idiot for handing over the cash, I knew it was my opportunity to get into the space. The day I launched my business my daughter was born. I was literally fulfilling orders next to my wife in the hospital bed.
OK, so the business was shit. I was slanging garbage traffic for $24-$99 a pop (ignorance is bliss), but it paid the bills. The first year I made a little over $80,000.
From there, I got into CL marketing (most of you know that story), eventually leading me into running a digital marketing agency, amongst many other business ventures.
Now, the entire point of that story is let you guys know, I didn't get to where I am by buying a course on WaFo and sitting back and relaxing. The first 6 years I ran my businesses, I worked 15-17 hour days, 7 days a week. In the last 10 years, I've spent countless hours learning, paying for courses, networking, basically wading through a mile high pile of shit of information to get to where I'm at. I've had multiple 6 figure net months and many mid 5 figure months. I don't tell you this to brag, I'm telling you this, because I want you to understand what my time is worth.
I hope everyone can appreciate where I'm coming from, and value my time as much as I value yours.

Just received my consultation and I must say, he knows what he's talking about. Seriously recommend for anyone that's stuck or looking to expand but doesn't know how to. Overall great service and he was really generous with the information he gave.
