About

Who is Garland Coulson?

Who am I?

When asked, I usually describe myself as a Internet marketing speaker, Internet entrepreneur, star gazer and player of Native American flutes. In no particular order…

In essence, I am a very lucky fellow. I make my living on the Internet working from my home and I get to share what I learn with others.

The Internet gives me the freedom to live where I want to live, focus on my hobbies and to travel to explore this world of ours. Every day is a joy to me.

Internet Entrepreneur

Some people say to me that I must be a “genius” to make my living online.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

While setting up my online businesses, I made a HUGE number of mistakes and wasted a LOT of money.

While I wasn’t a genius, I had a firm belief that I would make it and a dogged persistence not to quit until I did.
Eventually, I became successful it and I continue to learn more every week to grow my mastery of Internet marketing.

Internet Marketing Speaker

While I am not a genius, like most of us, I have been blessed with a few gifts. My main one seems to be to teach. I can’t “not teach”. Even when I am involved in a topic where I am new, such as star gazing, I learn quickly and start to teach people even newer than I.

So I naturally share my growing mastery of Internet marketing with thousands of other people who want to learn to succeed online. I am happiest when I am teaching and speaking. Whenever I meet people, I immediately share my knowledge and resources.

Star Gazer

My parents, who passed away years ago, gave me a deep love and appreciation for nature. My own deep joy of reading science fiction stories growing up also gave me a love for the stars – an endless display of nature’s glory.

In addition to my own star gazing, I am on the board of directors of the Nanaimo Astronomy Society – an organization that introduces thousands of kids and adults to the wonders of the night sky.

When I travel, I also look for opportunities to observe from dark skies. So you might be able to entice me into a lower speaker’s fee if you house me in a bed and breakfast under dark skies…:)

Player of Native American Flutes

I never thought I was particularly musical. I tried a few instruments over the years, with no success. I used to joke that I “play” the stereo.

I noticed my wife seemed to have a gift for playing music when she picked out the theme for “Stargate” on a cheap tin whistle while we were watching TV. Since I love to enable my wife’s exploration of her gifts, I started to buy her a wide range of “weird” and hard to play flutes. Finally she asked for a Native American flute – one of the simplest musical instruments to learn.

I ordered one and it arrived. I opened it to look at it and inhaled the earthy scent of cedar, fascinated by the simple, yet lovely instrument. I hid it in a closet to await Christmas. That night, I had vivid dream about the flute and I told the flute not to worry, that my wife would play it soon.

The flute sounded so amazing in my wife’s gifted hands that I wondered if it might “sing” for me as well. So I waited until everyone was out of the house and picked it up and tried it. To my amazement, it did sing for me – not at the amazing level that my wife was capable of but it made a lovely tune.

My wife, Terry Mack continues to grow in her gifts and now performs and records her own music with the Native American flute. For me, I play my Native American flute meditatively – my favorite place to play is out in the forest.

And, along with my wife, we have introduced hundreds of others to this marvellous, haunting instrument.
