So, Who Is Rick?
For just over 15 years (as of November 2018) I've been Self-Employed, primarily working online within the 'earn money online' (MMO) niche. I'm always the first to admit that I've made plenty of pretty stupid & costly mistakes over the years, especially in the early days. When I started-out working online I was naive, gullible and desperate to earn money. I wasted far too much time and lost some very large sums of money with the all-too-familiar 'Get Rich Quick Schemes', despite being absolutely convinced (at the time) that they were 100% legitimate income opportunities.
When you're eager (and usually desperate) to find something that works, you can often take-on far too many potential income streams at once. Many people end-up 'hopping' from one opportunity to another, never really 'closing the book' on the previous one - pretty soon you can't see the wood for the trees and have zero clue what to focus your attention on to get the money rolling-in. In the MMO industry, this phenomena is sadly very common and is usually known as 'Shiny Object Syndrome' or 'Opp Hopping'. If you also happen to suffer from a form A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder) like me, this becomes somewhat of an addiction, like a never-ending, mind-numbing cycle that continually plays-out like your own frustrating version of Groundhog Day.
Now, I believe (having studied a large number successful Entrepreneurs over the years) that making your own mistakes is a key part of one's own journey to success - maybe even an essential part! Thankfully, I did at least do the one vital thing with these mistakes - I learnt from them - even if it did take me quite a while! (about 7 years)
After those 7 long years of painful trial & error (both financially and emotionally), I felt that I could identify certain patterns in the things that were working for me, as well as the 'Red Flags' in the ones that weren't. After a few epiphanies and 'Ah-Ha' moments, I figured-out what I needed to do to start getting quicker results and ultimately, increase my income.
In 2010 I decided to setup my own Online Coaching Business and 'LearnWithRick' was born. My aim was to help people - both those who were just starting out online, as well as those that had been burnt the same as me. My drive was to show them a way to avoid losing money (like I had) and how to generate a legitimate income on the internet, in the quickest possible time-frame. My genuine passion and focus was to create something that I myself would have appreciated & valued all those years ago and I am always keen to share my knowledge and experience with those that care to listen.

Update: january 2019
In November 2015 I made the difficult decision to cut-back on the 1-on-1 Coaching side of my LearnWithRick Business. I also reduced the number of income streams that I actively managed & promoted. Multiple Streams of Income are so powerful - but having too many can mean that you become unproductive and lose focus on the ones that not only mean the most to you, but also the ones that have the most income potential.
I then went on to put a lot of my newly freed-up time in to learning CPA (Cost-Per-Action) Marketing which, as many Internet Marketers will tell you, is quite a tough nut to crack. However, once mastered, CPA can be an incredibly lucrative income stream. Unfortunately, once again, despite my complete dedication to studying this CPA, I just couldn't get my head around it. I soon realised that something that was so 'numbers-based' was going to be a mammoth task to get to grips with - especially without a Mentor.
In April 2017 I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and this understandably meant that most of my enthusiasm toward any part of my online efforts was dampened somewhat. With my deep & sincere believe in Natural Remedies and the body's own ability to heal itself if given the proper nutrition, I went on my own healing journey for the next 9 months. I went 95% Raw Vegan overnight, cutting-out Nicotine, Caffeine, Dairy Products, Meat, Sugar and all Processed Foods. I delayed any treatment recommendations by the NHS Oncologists and Health Professionals, knowing that Chemotherapy would only be poisoning my body further and there were no guarantees of success by following this route anyone. During this time I also chose to self-medicate using Cannabis Oil - for those who wish to have further information about this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
As of October 2018 I feel pretty dam good, but sadly my efforts didn't get rid of the tumours as I'd hoped (although it did stop them spreading further). Having now reluctantly completed an intense 28-Day Course of both Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, I'm awaiting Surgery to have what little remains of the Cancer removed. I've naturally been gagging to get back to work and this time spent on my health has put many things in to perspective. As a result, I've decided to changed direction entirely and start the one style of Online Business that I've been avoiding for many years, despite its obvious growth in popularity and incredible potential - eCommerce!!
My focus is now 100% on creating my own successful eCommerce Business on Amazon using their FBA (Fulfilment By Amazon) Platform. I've also realised that, to give myself the best possible chance of success, I need a Mentor who's walked the path before me and is operating their own successful Amazon FBA Business at a level that I aspire to reach. I've now found that Mentor and will be sharing his identity on this Website in the near future.
For those who are still looking for something quick & simple to generate some extra money online, I can still recommend 'MyRiskFreeIncome' (better known as Profit Accumulator). Profit Accumulator is for UK-based individuals ONLY and it will show you how to create a Risk-Free, Tax-Free Income (see above-left in the Navigation Menu) with only a few minutes of focused work each day. Although you are somewhat limited to around £2,000 p/month in earnings, there are ways to increase this by being 'smart' and you should bare in mind that it's Tax Free Income here in the UK, so you get to pocket ALL the profits created from your efforts.
Thanks for reading my update and please remember that you can always get in touch with me via my Contact Tab on the left or by connecting with me on Snapchat. Just look me up by searching Rick Hignett or EarnWithRick (yes, Earn not Learn - it's from my original branding back in the day).
