Tips on Giving Up Your 9-to-5 to Start a Passion Project

The Art of Passive Income

Stephen Somers is a mentor, serial entrepreneur, and co-founder of Marketplace SuperHeroes. He started his entrepreneurship journey selling on Amazon about 7 years ago before meeting his mentor and business partner, Robert Rickey. Together they have generated multiple 7 figures in revenue through a strategic mind-set and consistency in executing their plan of action.

Stephen enjoys a stunning level of success today, after pushing through many failed attempts at starting his entrepreneurship venture. His capabilities and potential were the directives that guided him after resigning from the corporate 9-to-5 world, and the fuel behind his bold move to live intentionally and start a passion project which blossomed into a 7-figure revenue-generating machine.

As a person who has experienced good times and bad in his new business, Stephen understands the fear that holds many people back from realizing their true potential and living life on their own terms. As such, he spends his downtime guiding his mentees through a detailed two-phase process to find, brand, import, and sell their very own brand of low-competition, high-profit physical products globally on Amazon.
