Tired of battling traffic every day?
Frustrated by co-workers who don't pull their weight?
Weary of working for people who will never pay you what you're worth?
Welcome to the broken 20th century Corporate model where you exchange time for money for 45 years, then retire on a fraction of the income you could barely live on while you were working.
Just ask all the retirees who have gone back to work in recent months because the spike in gas and food prices have outpaced their fixed incomes.
Sounds like quite a plan, doesn't it?
Work for "the man" for decades, then pinch pennies for the rest of your life.
That's what your parents and grandparents did - along with 95% of the population.
But what alternatives do you have?
PLENTY.
In fact, you could be sitting on a goldmine...and not even realize it.
Let me tell you a story...
In March of 2020, Stephanie Jarvis was in a panic.
All of her summer reservations had been cancelled due to the pandemic, and with them all of the income she had expected to make in 2020.
How was she going to survive?
After several sleepless nights, she came up with a solution: YouTube.
She could publish regular videos about her rural French Bed & Breakfast - the 16th Century Chateau de la Lande - and maybe make enough money from YouTube ads to keep the lights on.
So that's what she did.
Using her phone, she would film around the property, edit the videos with free software she found online, then drive to a small town 20 minutes away to upload them to YouTube because the Internet at the chateau wasn't strong enough to do the job.
By the end of August 2020, she'd replaced her B&B income. By December, she was making more money than she ever had in her life. So for 2021, she decided to hire someone else to run the B&B so she could focus on vlogging.
Today she has nearly 200,000 YouTube subscribers, makes around $40,000 per month between YouTube ads and Patreon sponsors - all in addition to her B&B income, which is booked solid because of her YouTube channel - and is finally able to restore the chateau to its former glory, hiring carpenters, electricians, and gardeners to make the place beautiful for the next 500 years.
Meanwhile, because of her popularity on YouTube, she was invited to work on special projects with both Christie's and British Television, and she's getting ready to launch a new YouTube channel about Venice.
In short, she went from panic to prosperity in a matter of months, all because she was forced to come up with a "Plan B" when her traditional business shut down during the pandemic.
She's not alone.
Here's what others have done by pairing their existing skills with 21st century technology, all from the comfort of their homes (these are some of the creators I follow, and yes, I like history):
Escape to Rural France (YouTube)
Chateau Stephanie's gardener, Dan, is restoring an old French property near the chateau, so Stephanie suggested that he start his own YouTube channel showing what he does day-to-day in order to fund the restoration. He did, and now makes about $3,000 a month from YouTube ads - in addition to his gardener income - which has sped up the restoration considerably.
P.S. One of his fans - a cosmetic dentist in Turkey - offered to fix his bad teeth free of charge in exchange for Dan vlogging about the experience (approx. $30,000 service). Dan did, and now has a movie-star smile. You never know who's watching...
Noble Blood (Podcast)
Dana Schwartz is a journalist and screenwriter with a fascination for the macabre. She started a podcast called Noble Blood in which she looks at murder and mayhem in historic royal families. Between sponsored episodes, her Patreon subscribers, and her podcast merchandise, her income is approximately $3,000-$4,000 per month. Again, this in addition to her writing day job income.
Royalty Now Studios (YouTube)
Becca works full time as a graphic artist but her love of history prompted her to start a side hustle bringing historical figures to life. She'll take a painting or sculpture of a long-ago royal, tell his or her story, and then, using Photoshop, bring that person "to life" with automation and modern fashions. Between her YouTube ad revenue and Etsy store income where she sells copies of her recreations, she makes approximately $3,000 per month on the side - without ever showing her face on camera.
Tasting History With Max Miller (YouTube)
Chef Max Miller has a love of history and likes to make food from different eras. From gruel to Viking fare to food from the Titanic, he goes in-depth on the history before he samples the end result. Between YouTube ad revenue, sponsorships, and his Patreon subscribers, he's making about $30,000 per month - WAY more than the average chef.
The Bowery Boys (Podcast)
New York City Tour Guides Greg Young and Tom Myers wanted to do a radio show about historic New York City, but no radio station was interested. So they started their own podcast back in 2007, long before podcasting was mainstream. Today they have a team of tour guides who work for them and a spin-off podcast. Between their tours, their episode sponsors, and their Patreon subscribers, they're making approximately $25,000-$30,000 per month.
P.S. Tom was also asked by HBO to co-host The Gilded Age Podcast, a job he will likely resume for Season 2.
This Podcast Will Kill You (Podcast)
Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke were working on their PhDs in epidemiology when they convinced their graduate advisor to let them do a podcast about diseases instead of a thesis so their knowledge could benefit people outside of academia. Today, with sponsors for each episode, their Patreon subscribers, and merchandise sales, they make approximately $5,000 per month. They also started their working scientific careers as celebrities.
So...
Ordinary people selling their knowledge and passions in different ways, making more money and enjoying more perks than they ever would have from a job alone.
If they can do it, so can you.
One of the reasons Stephanie - and all the others - have been able to enact a "Plan B" is because of the technology we have at our fingertips.
Here's a brief history of wealth accumulation so you can understand just how truly unique the time in which we live in is. Our ancestors would be jealous.
4000 BC to 1750: The Agricultural Age - those who owned land had wealth
1750 to 1950: The Industrial Age - those who owned machines had wealth (the birth of the corporate model)
1950 to 1978: The Distribution Age - those who distributed goods had wealth
1978 to 2003: The Technology Age - those who created technology had wealth
2003 to 2008: The Info-Entertainment Age - those who used technology to educate and entertain had wealth
2008 to Present: The Partnership Age - those who partner with tech platforms to sell their goods and services have wealth, as do the platforms (YouTube, Amazon, Etsy, Uber, Air B&B, etc.)
Yes, we still have farms, machines, distribution centers, and all the rest, but the technology age "leveled the playing field" by bringing once-expensive tech to the masses, allowing us to use it to make money.
Today, there are so many ways to make money by pairing your existing skills with current technology that if you're still stuck in the same old 20th century Corporate model as your parents and grandparents, then you're behind the times.
You're also not making as much money as you could be.
There is another way.
If you want fame, fortune, and influence – or just the fortune, if you're the shy type – then there are 3 things you need to do:
1. Add value to the marketplace
2. Polish your image
3. Position yourself for success
That's it. That's all you need to do.
These three things will take you from where you are now to wherever you want to go.
Because once you understand your true value in the marketplace, package yourself correctly, and position yourself for success, you can't help but be rich and famous.
The Fame and Fortune Formula shows you how.
The easiest way to remember the 3 steps is by thinking VIP:
-Value
-Image
-Position
In this fast-paced video course, we go over each step in detail:
Step 1: Add Value to the Marketplace
There are four ways you can offer your skills to world.
The first two will keep you broke, the second two will make you rich and famous.
Which are we taught in school? The first two, of course!
How else would corporations find and keep workers if everyone knew there were other options?
So in step one, we go over how you can take the skills and knowledge you already have and apply them to the third and fourth levels to explode your income and transform your life.
Step 2: Polish Your Image
Upgrading your image creates a domino effect. When you look like you have your act together, you're often called upon to lead others at work, church, your community, etc. This puts you in the spotlight, which then brings you to the attention of those seeking your skills.
To quote Oprah: "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity."
So in step two, we cultivate your image so you can easily step into the spotlight. Even if you prefer not to be on camera and would rather skip the fame and just have the fortune, I show you how to look polished should you ever find yourself in front of a camera. You'll look like a pro, on camera or off.
Step 3: Position Yourself for Success
The fastest, easiest way to find fame and fortune is to put yourself in front of an audience that can easily relate to you. So whether you're a country girl, a middle-age mom, or a home cook who loves to make Italian food, there are people out there who will follow you if you position yourself as one of them.
You know that old saying, "It's not what you know, it's who you know?"
Well, in today's social media-driven world, it's all about who knows you that counts.
So in step three, we talk how to position yourself in front of your “natural” market and draw them in so they know, like, and trust you...and make you rich and famous.
These are the exact same steps others have used to find fame and fortune, including:
Rachael Ray
She grew up in her parents' restaurants and was working in a gourmet food store in upstate New York when her boss asked her to come up with some ideas to generate foot traffic. So Rachael started doing weekly in-store presentations on how to make a meal in less than 30 minutes. These were so popular, the local news station did a story about it. Then they asked her to do a weekly on-air segment. One of her shows was seen by a Food Network producer, who gave Rachael her own show in 2001. It launched her empire.
Iris Apfel
A New York fashion legend who once had her clothes exhibited at the Costume Institute, Iris developed her unique Bohemian style while traveling the world on business with her late husband. They founded Old World Weavers in the 1940s, and created draperies, upholstery, and other textiles for high end clients, including the White House. Iris was well known in high society for decades before being discovered by the rest of the world in the early 2000s. Her Instagram account has more than a million followers, and she signed with IMG Modeling...at age 97! It's never too late for a new adventure.
Jerry Seinfeld
After graduating from college in the mid-1970s, Jerry worked hard trying to get his big break on the comedy circuit. While his early comic contemporaries like George Carlin, John Belushi, Richard Pryor, and Sam Kinison were all known for their profanity, wild lifestyles, and love of taboo topics, Jerry made a conscious decision to keep it clean. He worked on being funny and family-friendly as he honed his “observational” humor, which eventually led to him starring in his self-named “show about nothing” that’s been off the air for more than 20 years yet has generated more than $3 billion in syndication to date.
All three of them were average, everyday middle class people...until they took the 3 steps that lead them to fame and fortune and allowed them to create the business, income, and lifestyles that they have.
They're not like anyone else.
Neither are you.
So if you're ready to break out of your soul-sucking 9 to 5 - or to create a new profit stream from a business or job you love - then The Fame and Fortune Formula will get you pointed you in the right direction.
I consider myself pretty business-savvy, but the value step was THE most eye-opening thing I have EVER seen. Why don't they teach this stuff in school?! I could have hit my income goals SO MUCH FASTER if I'd know this back then.
Olivia Hamilton, Dallas, TX
"Your stuff continues to blow me away. Thanks for all that you do!
Ambitious women.
Executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals have been snapping it up right and left.
My suggestion is if you love your life just the way it is, skip this. It's not for you.
But if you:
Then give it a shot.
It will pinpoint what's holding you back and show you how to break through to the next level.
Hi, my name's Diana Pemberton, and after 15 years in the corporate world, I left it for my own "Plan B" to become a stay-at-home mom and write about fashion.
I launched FashionForRealWomen.com in the fall of 2000, and as an image consultant, author, and fashion blogger, I've helped tens of thousands of women all over the world dress better, earn more, and get more respect through my articles, ebooks, and courses.
So if you're looking to upgrade your image so you can finally get the attention, respect, and income you deserve, I can help.
Three reasons:
Preparation
After teaching women how to dress better for decades, I've noticed a distinct pattern:
Dress better -> get promoted to a leadership position -> move into the spotlight ->
get hit with opportunities
Upgrading your image creates a domino effect. When you look like you have your act together, you're often called upon to lead others. This puts you in the spotlight, which then brings you to the attention of those seeking your skills.
But most people are so gobsmacked by all attention they suddenly receive that they freeze like a deer in the headlights when opportunity comes knocking.
I don't want you to do that.
I want you to be prepared image-wise so you can easily step into the spotlight at any time.
To quote Oprah: "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity."
Options
I started advising woman to build multiple streams of income in my executive training course a dozen years ago.
When I started getting feedback like this...
I am totally impressed with the content you have put together. I would never expect that a fashion class could be the doorway for such valuable and specific career advice.
Catherine Antunes, Sarasota, FL
"Your class provided information that far exceeded my expectations. Thanks so much!"
[Your advice] was the encouragement I needed to propel me as an entrepreneur. So thank you again for all the amazing, wonderful advice that wasn't available from anywhere else in my life."
Shelly M., California
...I knew I was on the right track.
Because having a polished image helps you make more money. So why not take that one step further and make as much as you can? It's only logical.
Cash Flow
I often have readers tell me, "I can't afford new clothes," or "I can't afford to upgrade my image."
But from where I sit, you can't afford not to.
So by giving readers other ways to make money, they can increase their cash flow, upgrade their image, and make even more money with their new, polished look.
The way I see it, you can face a locked door and give up...
...or you can go looking for another way in, like a back door, a window, or a transom.
Your success is up to YOU...and your level of persistence.
So what's it like to go from being a bit player to being the star?
Fun. Profitable. Confidence-building.
There's not a lot of mystery involved. Just a few simple steps that can transform your life.
It happened to me, it's happened for thousands of my readers, and it will happen for you, too.
Here's what some of my clients have to say about my methods:
Ever since I started getting your books and following your advice, I started getting compliments from the people around me for the first time in my life. And, to top it off, I finally get my much awaited promotion to Director! Thanks to your advice."
Felicia Lim
Keep up the excellent work, Diana, I really appreciate everything you do!"
Bethany Dixon, California
I think FashionForRealWomen.com is the best thing I have ever seen on the web and I do a lot of reading on this subject. I have learned so much from the emails you send out and am looking forward to being able to buy your ebooks as soon as I can.
Gloria Fielding
"Your advice in my opinion is worth the time it takes in my day. There are a lot of advice columns regarding clothing and yours stands out. I feel like I have finally found an amazing source of advice that I can trust and that I don't have to keep searching elsewhere."
I must say that all of your ebooks are so much better and more detailed than anything I have seen for fashion before. Some of the information I am familiar with, but this is the first time I have ever had all in one place.
Jennifer Crawford, JLC Interior Design
"With the wardrobe information, I was able to purchase a stunning cocktail dress as well. I felt terrific and received so many wonderful compliments that I cannot say enough about your products."
If I met with you one-on-one to go over all of this, it would start at $1,000. Add travel expenses and the like and the cost climbs more.
But before I reveal the asking price, let me ask you something:
If all The Fame and Fortune Formula did was help you understand the true market value of your skills, would it be worth it?
If it allowed you to escape that feeling of being trapped – like you had no options - would that help with your peace of mind?
If you could suddenly get the attention, respect, and income you deserve, would that make a difference in your life?
If so, you'll be delighted to learn that you can get The Fame and Fortune Formula, including:
...for the one time price of $497 $49
