About Ontarian Hawkins
My name is Ontarian Hawkins. The Early Years I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My journey into entrepreneurship began somewhere in the early 2000’s. I first came across being your own boss and working on the internet in my early 20’s. I was a college student at the University of Tulsa doing some homework on the computer. I remember sitting there thinking to myself, ‘Do people really earn money online? If so, how do I do that?’As a college student, I did ok with my grades. But my life as a child and the memories of struggle were still present. I can clearly remember being a child and asking for a candy bar in the grocery check out lane. Childhood Struggles Opened My Eyes to Desiring Financial Freedom She used to carry a yellow envelope in her purse, with the money she had budgeted for groceries and bills. I can remember her pulling out the envelope slowly, with hesitation to pay for things. Even though she never said a word, the anxiety in her body language and face made it very clear to me that there wasn’t enough. Seeing my mother struggle to buy groceries and pay bills when I was a child planted a seed so DEEP in me, I decided I was going to do something different when I was older. Dropping out of College to Pursue True Freedom I dropped out of college because I didn’t see the point in following the ‘success blueprint’ that had been taught to me. You know, the American Dream- Go to college, get good grades and get a job in corporate America, building someone else’s dream. That didn’t appeal to me. I settled into a regular job, but I knew there was something more out there for me. After looking around I joined a Network Marketing business in 2008. I wanted success, so I followed their blueprint. I made my list of friends and family. I attended the hotel meetings. I called, chased, and hunted everyone I knew. Why? Because that’s what I was told to do. If you’ve ever been involved with a Network Marketing company maybe you can relate. Needless to say, it didn’t go very well for me. I did make a little bit of money, but nothing substantial. I couldn’t get any duplication going. Network Marketing Failure Kept me Struggling So I quit and moved onto another company. And another, and another. The first 3 years I spent a lot of money on starting new business ventures, only to end up failing. They all presented the same problem: nobody was able to duplicate and as a result they dropped out. It seemed like this was a good plan for a few but was too difficult for the other 97%. By this time my friends & family were tired of hearing about the latest and greatest business deal I was in. I knew there was a piece or two missing, but I wasn’t ready to give up. I needed some change in my life, so I got my CDL license and drove a truck all over the country. During this time, I focused on learning as much about marketing as I could. The psychology behind it, how to identify your target market, funnels, capture pages…you name it. Then I joined a group focused on mindset and marketing, and that’s when things started to change for me. Through this group I met my mentors Diane Hochman and Joe Schroeder. My Attraction Marketing Breakthrough I took a break from actively marketing a business, and learned how to attract business. That was an important mindset shift. Instead of hunting for prospects, I delved in deep to learn how to become the hunted. About a year into driving a truck, I was itching to get off the road. I missed my family and friends. I only had one day a week off and worked very long days. I took a job back home with the intention of freeing up more of my evening time and planning my financial freedom. For the next year, I worked tirelessly on my plan, soaking up every piece of information I could on how to create a passive income online. And I did it. I freed myself from the chains of bondage. Now, I am here to show you how to do the same if you are willing to make a few mistakes and commit to your freedom. My purpose for Creating this Website is to share what I have learned in my trials so you can implement only what works. You deserve financial and time freedom and to live the BLESSED Live You Deserve! Let's connect! Ontarian Hawkins 877-785-8736
