Networking and Marketing Made Simple

When Covid hit, Ben was furloughed from work. He found himself down and out, staring at an empty handle of Jim Bean Whiskey. He was unemployed, depressed, and felt unworthy. Hesitantly, he opened his Macbook and started reaching out to strangers on Linkedin. This spearheaded his entrepreneurial journey.  The rest is history.  Now Ben hosts a network of 5 podcasts called “Real Business Connections,” runs a massively successful marketing firm, Balbert Marketing, and has replaced his established sales income in just over a year. Ben found his way. Once an underdog, now a successful entrepreneur, Ben is passionate about helping other underdogs find their way and achieve their dreams. Ben is on a mission to actually move the needle on one million lives, one conversation at a time.—------ About Ben + Press Appearances: https://realbusinessconnections.com/host/  Balbert Marketing LLC: http://balbertmarketing.com/alllinks  Real Business Connections Podcast: https://realbusinessconnections.com/  Email: ben@balbertmarketing.com Free Consultation/ Meet and Greet: https://calendly.com/balbertmarketing/zoom30 SIGN UP FOR OUR LINKEDIN WORKSHOP: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshopApril2023

I help coaches, course creators, and network & affiliate marketers scale to 6-figures online as quickly as possible so they can leave behind the 9-5 for a life of freedom and flexibility.If you've ever felt like you were made for a bigger purpose that goes beyond working for someone else to build their dream.... and you'd rather build your own dream, I see you. If you struggle with knowing that you are capable of so much more than your current position can offer, I hear you. If years of corporate politics, layoffs, and rounds of "restructuring" have suffocated the fire you once had and you'd rather be your own boss, I get you.I know how these things feel because 5 years ago, I was you.I am passionate about helping busy professionals to reclaim their life through entrepreneurship without sacrificing their professional identity, their personal brand, or their reputation. I provide training & coaching that corporate professionals can use to build various forms of online businesses to diversify their income streams, from coaching to creating online courses to building network or affiliate marketing businesses. If you're looking to create more financial stability to open up time and financial freedom, building things out properly with the right skills, structure, and systems is the key to scaling to 6-figures.
