Charlotte Heffelmire is 19 years old, 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. But on November 28th, 2015 she lifted her dad’s 4500+ pound GMC Sierra off of his chest and (while still holding the truck) drug him (6’3″ 280 lbs) out from underneath it.

It was Thanksgiving weekend…

And the family had just finished dinner. Charlotte’s mom, Darmie, her three-month-old niece and two family friends had gone to the basement to relax. Her dad was holed up in the garage tinkering with his Sierra.

At about 8pm that night, Charlotte decided to check on her dad.

What happened next is nearly unbelievable…

When she opened the door to the garage, black smoke poured into the kitchen. A bolt of panic shot through Charlotte as she saw through the smoke her dad lying on his back, trapped on under the truck.

She lifted the truck up off her dad and propped it up on her right hip.

She grabbed her dad with both hands and yanked his 280-pound body out from underneath the truck. She hooked her hands under his armpits and drug him out of the garage and down the driveway to a tree where she propped him up.

She then ran back into the burning garage, afraid the truck was going to explode, jumped in and drove it out of the garage.

Then, she ran back through the garage and down into the basement, scooped up her niece and got the rest of her family out of the house.

Afterward, paramedics treated her for second-degree burns on the bottom of her feet and flash burns on her face.

Her dad and the rest of her family survived.

Why do I bring this up?

You’re capable of more than you think you are.

We ALL do it.

We doubt, we fear, we rationalize and make excuses.

But, the truth is…

You are more powerful than you believe you are.

Not that long ago, I was frying up chicken at a local pizza joint wondering what the hell I was going to do with my life.

A river rat from a small town in Nebraska who nobody thought would ever amount to much of anything.

Today… it’s now been over six years since I started working full-time from home.

Hanging out with my boys every day, all day…

Doing what I love every single day.

I’m no genius. I wasn’t born into this. There’s nothing special about me. I’m just a regular dude who learned a few things and never looked back.

What matters is persistence… and knowledge.

And, the knowledge is all around you.

Do you have the persistence?

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

Sukh Plaha

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
