– Johnny Beirne

Johnny Beirne mentors experts on building a freedom business through launching their online training business.

Beirne helps experts have more freedom by turning their expertise into an online course. He typically works with speakers, trainers, authors and coaches. But he can work with anyone that has expertise that somebody else is willing to pay for. He helps people create, launch and sell online courses.

He has a degree in Quality Management from Sligo IT. Beirne says he always wanted to work for himself even before he graduated. His first attempt at being an entrepreneur was at 28. He started in management consultancy and quality systems and then moved more into IT and web design.
