About Gregory Pearce at Getspiration.com
I’m sure you have something better to do than read my whole life story since birth, so I won’t do that. 🙂
And there’ll be no fake, self-aggrandizing stories written by some AI bot here either.
(I’m not against AI. I use it to great effect. But not to outsource my brain or identity.)
I live in Florida live with my lovely bride Carole.
Back in 2003, I was attracted to ‘Internet Riches’ before it was really a thing. I got sucked into the vortex of peddlers who promised pretty rainbows, pixie dust and gobs of cash raining from the ceiling.
Quick note…
False promises in 2003 were about the same as they are today in 2025.
Who knew? 🙂
After wading through all the crapola and learning how to effectively sell stuff online, I finally launched my own full-time, sustainable business in 2008.
It took me 5 years from 2003-2008 to figure stuff out.
The rest is history – and it has been an amazing adventure!
It doesn’t mean you’ll have to beat your head against the wall for 5 years to find your thing, like I did.
I was a slow learner back then, I guess. 🙂
After 16+ years online, and counting, I love to help folks who want to create greater freedom in their lives through digital entrepreneurship.
A Gentle Warning
Unfiortunately, folks are still led to believe that “selling stuff online” means “getting rich quick” – simply by pressing buttons on a computer or thumbing through popular phone apps watching cat pics and Bachata for several hours a day.
It’s true… if you also believe that the cow jumped over the moon last night.
The real truth: It requires focused work, persistence, plenty of learning, it’s not ‘easy’, and you will find out what you’re really made of once you begin your entrepreneurial journey.
Here’s a small sample of the what you may have already seen on the Interwebs.
- You’ll ‘get rich quick’ doing little to no work.
- Checking email for 2 hours a day will build an empire.
- It’s all ‘done for you’, just add traffic and enjoy the windfall.
- THIS ‘side hustle’ will fund all your dreams, by Friday.
- Just ‘Tell your story’ on social media and people will start throwing money at your feet.
- Your creditors will accept ‘likes’ and ‘views’ on your social media posts as payment for your bills.
- If you post 254,478 videos a day on TikTok about dumb stuff, ‘the algorithm’ will marry you.
- Iguanas in South Florida are really Klingon spies wearing makeup.
If you buy into this drivel and other stuff like it, the road ahead will be laden with potholes.
There Is Good News
If you start a real online business, and become fully invested in the long-term success of the customers you serve – your actions with result in long-term sustainable income.
But you must learn to do things the right way – from the start.
Generating near-passive income is not a myth. Moolah can actually roll in, while you’re sleeping.
But again, don’t kid yourself – especially in the beginning – it requires work to get things setup and to achieve momentum.
Yep, real work… and that’s GOOD news…
Why?
Because most people won’t do the work or stay the course, which creates massive opportunity for those of us who will do the work! You need to know and understand the game you’re playing. No sugar coating.
Are you a go-getter?
Because if you are, you’ll set yourself apart as someone with vision, grit and determination – not willing to settle for the average, predictable, stressed-out life that so many people tolerate.
Meaning… you never accept ‘can’t do’ for anything, and failure is not in your vocabulary.
Oh, and you don’t need to be some super-human guru, a tech genius, or some PHD to pull this off either… you just need to be YOU with a pulse, a brain, a smart phone, and an attitude to learn and do what it takes to get what you want.
Pretty soon the path you need to take will become clear, excitement will build, you’ll feel more alive than ever, and you might even get rich. I know this from personal experience.
Just in case you think I’m sitting in some ivory tower selling a dream – I’m not… I know a lot about tolerating mediocrity, because I did just that for some years after experiencing a ‘crash and burn’ in my life – allowing myself to be shoved around by circumstances, wallowing in self-pity, and always looking for excuses to stay stuck in a rut – until I kicked myself in the a$$, changed my mind, and set a new course.
And change I did!
Big Lesson: It’s easier to live with comfortable delusion than uncomfortable truth. And you don’t really know how bad things are until you know how good things can be.
You CAN live the life you want, with the friends you want, in the environment you want.
But you’ll need to take the road less traveled. The masses don’t go there, neither can they.
If you’re serious about CREATING the future you want and you believe you’re up to the challenge…
Digital Entrepreneurship is the path to consider, and it’s wide open.
Take this as your wakeup call to ‘dump the ho-hum’ and go all-in.
Don’t waste another minute of your life playing small.
The time to act is now!
Let’s get to work!
