My Story

Hello, I’m Derek.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 18 years, running a full-time service business that I built from the ground up. Along the way, I’ve experienced the highs and lows that come with entrepreneurship- the wins that make you feel unstoppable, and the challenges that force you to grow stronger and wiser. Those lessons have shaped the way I look at business and inspired me to help others on their own journeys.

A few years ago, I decided to start something new: a side hustle here at www.businessbuildingonline.com. Why? I’ve always had a passion for learning, testing, and sharing effective strategies to make money online in today’s digital, internet-based world. I sought a platform where I could leverage insights from my own businesses, as well as from mentors and coaches who’ve built multi-million-dollar companies, to share with individuals just starting out or struggling to gain traction.

I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel in today’s world. You’ve got endless “experts” shouting advice online, new platforms popping up every month, and strategies that seem to contradict each other. When I was first experimenting with affiliate marketing and online income streams, I ran into those same roadblocks; investing time and money into things that didn’t pan out. But every “failure” turned into valuable insight, teaching me what works and what doesn’t.

That’s why I started this blog: to cut through the noise and give entrepreneurs, service providers, and side hustlers practical, proven strategies they can use to move forward. My mission is to help you:

  • Attract more customers without feeling overwhelmed by the endless chase for attention.

  • Close more sales using simple but powerful marketing and sales techniques.

  • Build smarter income streams, including passive income strategies that can help you make more while working less in the long run.

Whether you’re running a service-based company, experimenting with affiliate marketing, or growing a small online business, this blog is designed to help you stop struggling, avoid confusion, and start building real momentum.

At the end of the day, business isn’t just about money, it’s about freedom. It’s about creating something that supports the life you want for yourself and your family. For me, that means not only running a business I’m proud of but also finding ways to spend more time with the people I love, enjoy life, and create long-term stability.

Now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned with you so you don’t have to go through the same years of trial and error that I did. If you’re ready to grow, I invite you to dive into the blog, grab the free resources I’ve put together, and start taking action.

Here’s to your success and the life you’re building,
Derek Spencer
