Hey There! I Am Carl Weinfurtner II
a wild, winding road kicking off way back in 1993. I was a college junior, bold enough to ditch the books and ‘Go Pro’ in the Life Insurance biz alongside my dad. Two years, 120 policies sold, and boom—I’m cut loose. Not enough premium for the company, they said, and just like that, my dream of taking over Dad’s 1,000+ policy empire crumbled to dust. At 25, fresh in my first apartment, I’m scrambling with no income, landing a telemarketing gig just to keep the lights on. That gig? It spiraled into a parade of short-lived marketing jobs—no college degree, no stability, and unemployment hitting me five times in ten brutal years.
Fast forward to February 2017—I’d had enough. I teamed up with my mentor Vick Strizheus at Four Percent and built something unstoppable: www.TheEliteMoneyGroup.com. Think of it like an Expedia-style hub, but for passive income—money rolling in while I’m dreaming or chilling on a month-long vacation, no clock-punching required. Then, in July 2020, I jumped in as a Founder at OnPassive, an AI tech unicorn, and I’m counting the days until those sweet commissions hit. Affiliate marketing became my redemption arc—back to that ‘be my own boss’ vibe from ’91, but smarter. Now, I rep countless companies, not just one. No one can fire me. If a company tanks? I’m still cashing checks from the rest. How’s that for bulletproof?
This journey’s been a beast—decades of grind, rejection, and Corporate America kicking me to the curb. I hustled in insurance marketing, recruiting agents for agencies, pocketing a slice of their sales—25 to 40 contracts a month. But six months here, six months there, two years somewhere else, and they’d drop me right before the big rewards. Mutual of Omaha? Three solid years as a Life Insurance Agent, then insane sales goals I couldn’t hit—fired again, right after I snagged my 2012 Jeep Wrangler with a $565 monthly payment staring me down. Sales as an employee broke me, so in 2016, I clocked into a warehouse job at a pet company. Monday to Thursday, nine years strong, it’s been my lifeline—just enough to fund my real dream.
That dream? Total control. No more ‘Just Over Broke’ J.O.B. nonsense. My hub, www.TheEliteMoneyGroup.com, is my ticket out—my digital kingdom, my home on the internet. I live by one truth: ‘Winners NEVER Quit & Quitters NEVER Win.’ After all the flops, I’m still standing, eyes locked on success. It’s not just close—it’s mine for the taking, and I’m charging full speed ahead!”
