Transform your financial chaos into an automated money system that creates true financial freedom — learn more at 🔗 coreyholmes.co/start

You know those moments in life that completely change your trajectory?

Growing up, I watched my parents constantly struggle with money. Not because they didn't make enough - they seemed to have a good income - but because they never got ahead. 

We moved every 6-12 months, creating this constant state of instability that shaped how I viewed money and success.

These experiences from my childhood led me down a path of obsession with personal finance. 

I became determined to figure out how money actually worked. Through years of trial, error, and intense study, I developed systems that helped me achieve financial freedom in my early 30s.

Now I teach others how to design what I call their "Rich and Meaningful Life" - a life tailored to what they truly value, supported by proven financial systems that actually work.

I've helped thousands of people:

• Get out of debt
• Build automated money systems
• Start investing confidently
• Design their dream lifestyle
• Create generational wealth

Most importantly, I help people break free from the limiting beliefs and poor money habits that keep them stuck.

Remember: Your parents' financial story doesn't have to be yours.

Popup

Ever have one of those ideas you just can't shake? That was Popup for me 🤔

While running Viceroy Group (an ecommerce portfolio company that scaled to $20M+), I kept running into the same problem - ecommerce platforms were either too simple or way too complex. There wasn't a great middle ground for growing businesses.

So I did what any slightly unhinged entrepreneur would do - I started building a Shopify competitor while running a $20M company 😅

The idea was simple: create an ecommerce platform that could grow with you. Something that was easy to start with but had the power to scale when you needed it.

We ended up raising $3.5M from incredible investors like Accel, Seedcamp, Sequoia, and 20VC. Pretty wild considering I knew nothing about fundraising or the startup world when we started. I remember googling "how to raise money for a startup".

Built an amazing team of 35 people and spent 3 years trying to make it work. We created some really cool tech and had some promising early traction.

Viceroy Group

Right after I flew back to Vancouver from travelling the world with Leave Comfort, I started a dropshipping store. We put in $1,000, purchased some headphones and launched a store. 

We ended up generating over $10,000 in profit pretty quickly from that store and used that money to start another brand. We continued doing this and within 18 months, we had generated over $16m in revenue and built a portfolio of 7 brands ranging from apparel to supplements to digital products and more.

Later on we took $100k to fund a side project called Popup, an end to end e-commerce platform.

Soon after I transitioned fully onto Popup.

Blockli.st

Blocklist was a small side project I was working on while doing Leave Comfort. I really wanted to learn Vue (javascript framework) and build an app so I figured I'd build a link in bio tool that we could use. It got a little bit of traction but I was ultimately too busy with Leave Comfort to focus on growing Blocklist.

No billion-dollar exit here, but hey, I learned VueJS 🙌

Leave Comfort

Who doesn't want to be an Instagram travel influencer? Me 🙂

My wife and I were getting way too comfortable at our jobs at Shopify so we decided to quit and start a business called "Leave Comfort". The idea was to travel the world and create content, at least that was the initial idea. It had been something we'd always wanted to do and we knew we'd regret not doing it down the line, so we went for it 🚀

We sold everything and bought a one-way ticket to Taiwan where we started our journey. We had no social media presence and no idea what we were doing.

Eventually, we came up with the idea of providing a service to luxury 5-star resorts where we would stay the resort and provide them with a detailed report on our stay, which included things they were doing well, areas in which they could improve along with suggestions and ideas, and a small content package.

It blew up and we were booked back to back. Eventually, the non-stop travel took a toll on us and we started to ask ourselves if this was what we wanted to do for the next 10 years. We were enjoying it but the business was 100% reliant on us being there and the lifestyle was intense.

We eventually decided we were going to focus on something else as we couldn't see ourselves living a nomadic life and travelling for the next 10 years.

This was one of the best experiences of my life. I have zero regrets and now know that I don't like travelling as much as I thought I did.

Graft Sport | Pro Slacklines

Graft Sport is how I first got into ecommerce and Amazon FBA. It’s where I learned how to source products overseas, what freight forwarders were and what a fulfillment centre was.

A little over a year after starting Graft Sport the business was acquired.

Doctors Choice Ltd.

A couple of weeks after I sold Sidney Auto Detailing I flew to Uganda (East Africa) to start a nutraceutical business focused on developing products related to immune deficiencies - I know 🤦🏻‍♂️ zero relation to washing cars and boats 😅

For context... I had no idea what I was doing.

I learned an incredible amount from starting this business and made an ungodly number of mistakes in the process.

I learned about compliance, contract manufacturing, developing software, building sales teams, and the importance of understanding culture in international business (what works in one place, won't necessarily work in another). 

Funny story (kinda), in the early days one of our products had some visuals on it to help people understand how it supplemented various vitamins and minerals in which they were deficient. Because I thought I knew what I was doing we put a comparison of pork on the packaging which showed how this product supplemented a lot of the vitamins and minerals found in pork 🐖

Little did I know at the time, Uganda has a large population of Muslims. Muslims don't eat pork (not an issue because it's just a comparison) but add on the fact that our products were being distributed throughout the entire country in rural areas where a lot of people are illiterate - and you have a problem.

People would see the picture of pork and think it had pork in it (I don't blame them). To fix this I had to hire someone to get an eraser and rub off the image of pork on thousands upon thousands of products (lesson learned).

This was a crazy experience. The company expanded throughout East Africa and was later acquired by The Aga Khan Development Network. 

Afterwards, I flew back to Vancouver Canada and learned how to code.

Insanity Uganda

When I was living in Uganda I accidentally built the most popular fitness classes in the country.

I was looking for a gym to work out at. Unfortunately at the time, there were no gyms nearby that had actual fitness equipment 🏋️

Then I met a guy named Marvin (the guy in the red circle). He invited me to this group fitness class which, I’ll be honest, wasn’t my cup of tea. The music wasn't great and by the end of the class, hardly anyone was sweating 😰

I figured I could teach a better class...

So I went home, put together 60 minutes of music and built the most intense workout class I could think of.

I figured if people experienced a near-death experience they’d at least remember it and possibly tell others 🥵

I called up Marvin ☎️ and said “Hey, could you ask the gym if they’d be ok with me teaching a class. He asked and they said “sure”.

Keep in mind this is Africa so rules are “loose”. I had never designed or taught a fitness class in my life nor was I a certified trainer by any means.

The next evening I showed up and Marvin was there with 2 other people. It wasn't very comfortable starting the class with 3 people 🤦‍♂️️ but I figured I was at least getting a free workout.

As the class progressed, more and more people started coming into the room and participating. I had designed the class to be so intense that within 10 minutes you’d be having a hard time. Most people could not finish it! 🥵 🥵 ☠️

This added a massive challenge aspect to the class where people would simply come to see how long they could last. 

And that’s where the Uganda Insanity Class was officially formed 🚀💪

The class became so popular that people had to arrive early in order to have a spot in the class, and often people outside were participating through the windows. 

10 years later, Insanity Uganda is still going strong with Marvin leading the charge.

Most people look at HOW to manage their money (this is wrong).
