His family left Poland to escape communism and came to the US. And as immigrants searching for the American Dream he watched them take any job they could just to survive. As a young man that struggle instilled in him a deep desire to never want a traditional job and it led him to forge his own path as an entrepreneur, publisher, salesman, and one of the top Polish hip hop artists.Today, from his perch in Thailand he runs Smart Brand Marketing and We Market Online Courses. He has published around 5000 Kindle books, built a successful SEO & online course marketing business, and succeeded in numerous other ventures. And what’s remarkable about his successes is that all of these ventures were bootstrapped. None were done with outside funding.Related Resources:Contact Tom and connect with him on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.Join, Rate and Review:Joining the Business Confidential Now family is easy and lets you have instant access to the latest tactics, strategies and tips to make your business more successful.Subscribe through your favorite podcast app here. Follow the show through on favorite podcast app, on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.OR for a premium podcast experience become a podcast patron.
