This question is often asked by both beginners and seasoned professionals.

If you are comfortable with helping people and have been doing it for years, then you can move on to the M5 Roadmap.

For the rest of us, we are going to solve this problem once and for all.

The solution is revealed in the unlikely story of Frank Abagnale Jr, a fraudster and con-artist.

He was portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie, Catch me if you can, directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the book of the same name.

Abagnale was a renowned fraudster who claims to have impersonated many professionals, even though he did not have the qualifications.

When questioned by the FBI on how he got away with being a college professor, he claimed that all he had to do was read one chapter ahead.

While many of his claims are being challenged (he is a fraudster after all), we can draw on the principle that all we need to do is choose someone who knows less than us.

Here is another unlikely example that drove the point home for me.

I attended a webinar where the presenter told us about his journey from knowing nothing, to becoming a search and rescue drone pilot.

I didn't even know it was a thing.

While he had only been involved with drones for a few months, he had spent hundreds of hours exploring what it took to go from knowing nothing about drones to owning and flying one.

Here are some of the things he learned:

I've spent over three decades designing, building, and managing business systems in the corporate world.

Since 2014, I’ve been working remotely as a Digital KnowledgePreneur, helping people with my knowledge and expertise.

I’ve used digital platforms to share insights and help others without being tied to a physical location or a traditional business structure.

What I teach is based on experience—real-world lessons, not just theories.

You'll learn the same strategies I’ve used, plus others that are proven to work in the digital space.

However, let’s be clear:

• This is not about get-rich-quick schemes.
• There are no guarantees of making millions overnight.
• You will need to put in effort, just like any real business.

What I offer is a proven pathway—business models that work, requiring minimal upfront investment but offering long-term potential.

The term KnowledgePreneur blends two powerful concepts: knowledge and entrepreneurship.

Curious about its history, I asked my favorite AI tool to dig into its origins.

Here's what it found:

• Colin Coulson-Thomas (2003): In his book The Knowledge Entrepreneur, Coulson-Thomas explores how businesses can create, manage, and profit from intellectual capital. Though he used the term "Knowledge Entrepreneur," his work laid the foundation for knowledge-based business models.

• Stan Skrzeszewski (2005): In The Knowledge Entrepreneur, Skrzeszewski defines a KnowledgePreneur as someone skilled in leveraging intellectual assets to create new ventures, generate wealth, or improve services—particularly in fields like education and libraries.

• Ant Hodges (2024): In The Knowledgepreneur® Podcast, Hodges shares practical strategies for marketing, growing, and scaling online businesses based on expertise. His work has helped popularize the modern KnowledgePreneur concept.

From its academic roots to today’s digital-first economy, the KnowledgePreneur movement has evolved into a powerful model for those who want to turn their knowledge into income.

And that’s exactly what this site is here to help you do—by guiding you through simple, effective digital business models.
