Willie McIntosh grew up in Chicago, Il, and has been an entrepreneur from early childhood, starting two businesses before graduating high school. His love for the military as a cadet in Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) led him to enlist in the U.S Army at 17.  At the age of 24, after two deployments and 18 jumps out of perfectly good airplanes, Willie found himself on a hamster wheel living paycheck to paycheck, $42,000 in debt, and decided he needed a change. 

​

Willie, like many others around the world, had a desire to take control of his life, become his own boss, and start his own business. However, his time in the military limited his options and he wasn't sure how to proceed. Fortunately, his brother introduced him to affiliate marketing. Willie began working part-time, dedicating 4-7 hours a week to his home-based business. Through his dedication to personal growth, disciplined approach, and prioritization of people, he achieved a significant milestone: earning over $100,000 outside the military within his first 4 years. In recognition of this achievement, he was honored with a $100K home-based business hall of fame ring in 2015.

Willie has been dubbed the "Martin Luther King" of his industry due to his philosophy centered around people-first principles and integrity. He has established himself as a sought-after coach, renowned for his ability to simplify the complexities of home-based businesses while making the learning process enjoyable.

 

Daily he helps many friends and military buddies began their home-based business careers. His sense of accomplishment comes not from money or material things. Willie believes creating wealth is as simple as changing your philosophy, working a system, providing value in the lives of others, and coaching people to reach their goals.

 

Through his leadership, coaching system, and collaborative network, he has assisted over 7,000 individuals in starting their home-based businesses. Among them are numerous documented earners ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. Additionally, he has cultivated 17 brand partnerships, bolstering brand awareness and expanding their global reach. Over the course of 16 years part-time, his organization has garnered over 70,000 customers and accumulated commissions exceeding $2.5 million.

Willie has embarked on his latest venture, aiming to empower home-based business owners with the skills of trading in financial markets to enhance their income potential. He has embraced the Trading Education brand, believing that mastering this skill makes individuals unstoppable.

​

By day Willie continues his 20+ years of service within the U.S. Army and by night he helps his Team lay the foundation to achieve success. In his off time, he enjoys vacationing, hanging with family, and exploring food with his wife.
