While most of his peers pursued conventional careers with unwavering dedication, a young boy named Joshua became captivated by the rising tide of the digital world.
A space alive with innovation, curiosity, and creation.
In this ever-evolving realm, almost nothing seemed impossible.
And to him, that wasn't just a feeling or an interest.
It was a calling.
The Beginning of his Journey
It all began in 2005, a time when the internet world was only beginning to reveal its vast potential. He felt the tension between his dad's dreams of academic achievement and his desire to explore the online world.
That boy was me. Joshua AdeTore.
The Spark That Lit the Fire
I still remember when the thought first hit me: “What if freedom, purpose, and income could all be built online?”
Growing up, academic excellence wasn’t optional; it was expected. And as the only male child, the weight of my dad’s hopes often pressed heavily on my shoulders. But even then, I was quietly drawn to the world of online business.
I didn’t always have the answers. What I had was hunger. Hunger to learn, to try, and to discover.
Failures, Lessons & Growth
Every step of the way wasn’t smooth.
I stumbled. I failed. I restarted.
From online surveys to binary trading, website development, pay per lead system, funnel building, MLM, domain flipping, digital marketing, CPA offers, pay per lead, ISB (Incentive “Synthesising Business) and Super Affiliate strategies. — I tried them all.
I poured over $17,000 into my own growth. Each course, each tool, and mentorship.
Some worked. Many didn’t.
But each attempt gave me experience.
Each failure gave me perspective.
And each success built my confidence.
For years, I fell into the trap of chasing “shiny objects”, jumping from one course to the next, hoping the next one would be “the breakthrough.”
Sound familiar?
It wasn’t until I paused, filtered the noise, and focused only on tested, legitimate courses that actually delivered results that things began to shift.
That’s how StopGapIncome.com was born.
A one-person business model where I bridge the gap for others by sharing only courses I’ve personally tested, applied to, and seen results from.
Unlike most platforms, I don't recommend every course out there.
I only share what actually works.
