You Don’t Need to Be Tech-Savvy — You Just Need This
Why your experience matters more than your tech skills
Good Saturday!
Today I want to talk about one of the biggest misconceptions I see from professionals who are ready to earn income online:
“I’m not great with technology, so this probably isn’t for me.”
That single belief quietly stops thousands of capable, experienced people from taking the first step. And it’s simply not true.
You’ve already mastered the hardest part — showing up, communicating clearly, following through, and keeping your word.
You’ve lived through the Vietnam War, Watergate, oil shortages and gas lines, stagflation and sky-high interest rates, the AIDS epidemic, the Challenger explosion, Chernobyl, Black Monday, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, 9/11, the dot-com collapse, Hurricane Katrina, the Great Financial Crisis, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, political polarization and culture wars, the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and supply-chain collapse, the war in Ukraine, and a couple dozen other storms that tested your resolve and proved your resilience.
And you’re still here...
You’ve spent decades as a professional — whether as a teacher, doctor, manager, lawyer, accountant, psychologist, CPA, engineer, project manager, executive, nurse, consultant, architect, writer, educator, IT specialist, nonprofit director, financial planner, or business owner.
Through it all, you’ve become a better problem-solver — sharper, steadier, and wise enough to see patterns most people miss.
You understand people, timing, and what truly matters — how to read a situation, build trust quickly, and stay composed when things get messy.
And you’ve learned to adapt, improvise, and overcome — whether that meant reinventing your career, finding new ways to earn, or simply figuring out how to keep moving forward when the world tilted sideways.
That’s the real foundation of portable income — not tech tricks or trends, but the judgment, intuition, and perseverance that only come from decades of experience and a lifetime of showing up.
That’s why we built the Portable-Income Kickoff Accelerator — to take everything you already know, everything you’ve lived through, and show you how to turn it into meaningful, flexible income online.
It’s a six-week, guided experience designed specifically for professionals over 50 who are ready to make their first confident steps into the world of portable income — without confusion, tech overwhelm, or guesswork.
Each week, John Canada and I walk you through a simple, proven process for identifying your best opportunities, presenting your skills with clarity and confidence, and completing your first small projects or client engagements that lead to real results.
You’ll get live coaching, personal feedback, and the support of a small group of peers who are on the same journey — people who understand what it means to reinvent themselves with purpose, integrity, and optimism.
By the end, you won’t just understand how to create portable income — you’ll have done it. You’ll have real momentum, renewed confidence, and a practical plan for moving forward on your own terms.
And because we know taking a new step later in life can feel risky, we’ve taken that worry off the table.
We guarantee that by the end of the Accelerator, you’ll have landed and completed your first two small projects — giving you hands-on experience and a full understanding of how it all works.
You’ll never be left wondering what to do next or whether this really works. We’ll stay with you until you’ve achieved real, measurable success — because when you win, we win.
This isn’t about theory. It’s about momentum and proof — showing that your experience, professionalism, and reliability still have enormous value in today’s online world.
Six weeks from now, you could be looking back at this moment as the turning point — the day you stopped wondering if you could do it and started proving that you can.
You’ll have finished your first paid projects, built your confidence, and discovered that portable income isn’t just possible — it’s practical, rewarding, and deeply satisfying.
And you’ll have done it with a small, supportive group of people who understand exactly what it feels like to start something new at this stage of life — people who will be cheering for you every step of the way.
If this feels like your time to move forward — to put your experience to work in a new way — we’d love to have you join us.

Helping professionals 50+ turn hard-earned experience into portable income
P.S. This next group begins October 8, and we’re keeping it small so everyone gets personal attention. If this feels like your time, now’s the moment to take that step.
P.P.S. You’ve probably heard me say that timing matters — and this is one of those moments. We’re already about half full, and we’re keeping this group small so everyone gets hands-on attention. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now’s the time to reserve your spot while there’s still room.
