Success Story
From 9-to-5 to online success
Dan Sumner’s journey into online business wasn’t typical. He started by working side-by-side with John Thornhill at a regular 9-to-5 job. For years, they worked long hours together in a car factory, unaware that just a few years later, they’d both build successful businesses online.

Their Story
Making the leap
Dan always knew he wanted more than just a traditional career path. But like most people, he didn’t know where to start.
That changed when he saw John’s success and realized that online business wasn’t just possible, it was something he could do too.
Today, Dan runs multiple 6 figure online businesses, proving that with the right mentor, system and work ethic, success is possible for anyone.
Their Goal
Building a life on his own terms
Dan wanted the freedom to run his own business, work on his own terms, and create a life where he wasn’t tied to an office job.
But he knew he needed a clear roadmap to make that happen.
He saw how John had built his online business and instead of continuing down the traditional career path, Dan made the bold decision to learn directly from John.
'I’ve been working with John since 2009, and his coaching has been invaluable. Together, we’ve built multiple successful businesses. Thanks to his guidance, I now have the freedom to live the lifestyle I’ve always wanted.'
