From Overwhelmed to Empowered: My Journey to Building CLB Learning
Back in 2003, life took an unexpected turn. Our online business was failing, and to make matters worse, the company we were promoting simply disappeared. Just like that, everything we had poured time and energy into was gone.
So, I did what many of us have done when things don’t go as planned — I went back to work. And let me tell you… within two short months I knew, deep down, that I wasn’t meant to stay there. Ever felt that sinking feeling, like “I can’t do this for the rest of my life”? That was me.
That’s when it hit me: I actually had everything I needed to create my own path forward. So, I handed in my resignation, took a deep breath, and started writing my very first e-book.

It wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t complicated. But it was powerful: step-by-step instructions on how to build your list by giving away a “branded” copy of that e-book. The secret sauce? The book included the buyer’s affiliate links. That meant people could not only learn from it, but also share it, grow their own list, and benefit too.
And that was the beginning of what you now know as CLB Learning.
Keeping It Simple
Even back then, I knew people didn’t need another complex system. They needed less noise, more clarity. Maybe you’ve felt that too — like you’re drowning in endless instructions and can’t figure out where to start. That’s why CLB Learning has always been about keeping things simple, clear, and doable.
Cutting Out the Confusion
Have you ever tried to follow instructions that left you more confused at the end than when you began? Yep, me too. That’s why I promised myself that CLB Learning would never be about overwhelming steps or confusing directions. Instead, everything would be clear, direct, and distraction-free.
A Step-by-Step Plan That Still Works Today
That very first e-book was more than just words on a page. It was a blueprint. A simple, step-by-step plan to build a list, create real relationships, and then teach others to do the same.
And here’s the best part: it still works today. Because building genuine relationships and following a simple, duplicable system never goes out of style.
It’s been more than two decades now, and CLB Learning is still rooted in the same principles I discovered back in 2003: simplicity, clarity, and a duplicable plan for success.
So if you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to give up — I want you to know this: there is a simpler way forward. And that’s exactly why CLB Learning exists.
