It’s 2021, and I’ve risen to the top leadership ranks at a well-known financial firm. The company’s owners then approach me with the following:
“Jake, you need to shut down all those other businesses you’ve got your hands in. We require your undivided attention to ours. If you don’t, we’re going to terminate you.”
The phrase “all those other businesses” referred to the various streams of income I’d established. I tried to keep my personal life quiet because I knew the company frowned upon its leaders doing anything but their business. But my latest entrepreneurial venture was blowing up so fast, they found out about it. (More on that later).
“Shut everything else down or get suspended.”
I don’t believe in being controlled or told what to do.
And these guys had already curtailed my social media activity, public speaking engagements, writing topics, and even the people I could help…
So, despite the fact that my salary was in the seven figures,
I walked.
By the end of our first full year, we hit $50 mill in revenue and 600 employees. (We have the best team in the world; I kept saying, “We’re Assembling the Avengers.”)
Today, we have over 220 E-commerce stores under management. On the digital real estate side, we‘re running 10,000 sites that generate a couple of million dollars annually for 1800 clients. In the near future, we will be distributing one million dollars monthly.
Champion Passive Income’s mission is to make passive income streams accessible to everyone, and our values are to provide excellent customer service, underpromise, and over-deliver.
Now you know the story of why I walked away when I was given the ultimatum to “shut down those other businesses.” Champion Passive Income was too legit to quit.
My goals and ambitions are far too expansive to be limited in any way.
The same is true for our clients, and we’re here to help them achieve that.

I sold my business for a couple of million dollars and set myself free.
My goals and my aspirations are too expansive to be contained.
So, about that rapidly expanding company I had on the side…
Something extraordinary had occurred a few months before.
I was out to dinner with friends when my buddy Brad shared he’d purchased a done-for-you e-commerce store that was returning 100% to 200% of his investment.
“You guys have to buy one of these. It’s a great passive income stream!”
My best friend Melton and I were sold! We shared a passion for creating wealth and for showing as many people as we could how they could do the same.
We went to purchase our DFY stores, but the company’s customer service raised too many red flags.
I blurted out,
“Guys, we could do this business better! We could do done-and-run-for-you E-commerce stores and be the best in the world with the amount of care and service we provide to our clients and our track record
in business.”
We knew it was a dream company for us—a way to rapidly change people’s financial stories and a way to give ordinary people passive income that is truly passive, not a second job!
I knew we needed one other person to do it right: Ian.
My friend Ian was also a top leader at the same financial services firm. Before I showed up, he held every record for being the youngest person ever to achieve this or that. Then he became my mentor, and I was able to break all of his records. We become close friends.
We recruited Ian to be Co-CEO. He was the perfect complement to me, and he’d built businesses bigger than most people could imagine.
At last, we had a dream team. Ian, our operational genius. Research and development whiz Brad. Melton, the “Coin Master.” And me… Every church requires a pastor, and I am zealous about helping people find us.
To top it all off, at the tail end of 2020, while we’re still putting the company together, Ian discovers another great income stream: digital real estate. Instead of just investing in it for ourselves, we bought the company! We saw an opportunity to pioneer digital real estate as a done-for-You managed service, with a substantial passive income upside for investors with five to eight figures to put in play.
E-commerce stores and internet properties done-and-run-for-you; We finally had a system that made it possible for people from all walks of life to earn passive income!
