Who The Heck Is Paul Hutchings?

Talking about myself is one of my least favorite things to do, but here we are on the ‘about me‘ page of my blog. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🙂 So… in short.. I’m a dad from Idaho

…who started my first direct sales business (network marketing) a year after I got married over 15 years ago.

I was working in a call center and my wife and I were living in a trailer house.

I struggled for a long time to find success. In fact, I went my entire first year without making a single sale and the next 4 weren’t much better.

Then in 2009, I began to learn about lead generation and digital marketing.

This changed everything for me.

I went from sponsoring 23 people in 2 years to sponsoring over 400 personally in a year.

These new skills helped me to become the #1 rep in my entire company and I’ve been a top producer in everything I’ve promoted ever since.

I’ve served on 2 company leadership councils and even started my own online marketing, lead generation coaching & training company called “The Home Business Academy.”

We started from scratch, building everything from the ground up, and so far we’ve been able to scale to over 5 million dollars in sales.

All of this has helped me to build a life of freedom and prosperity that I’m SOOOO thankful for.

I truly want to do my best to help as many people as I can find more success in business and life.

If you’re in network marketing and are just beginning to think about how you might be able to use online lead generation to attract customers and new distributors, these 7 free videos might be the perfect place to start learning powerful lessons that can help you get quickly up to speed and avoid some common mistakes that lots of people make when they’re just getting started online.

These days, my main passion in in life is still helping people grow a freedom based income so they can disconnect their time from their money, & do more of the things they want to do in life.

I’ve found that the best way to do this is through business models like network marketing or affiliate marketing.

My training can help home business entrepreneurs

  • Increase lead flow
  • Gather more customers
  • Sponsor & recruit more reps & business partners
  • And of course, grow personally via more powerful communication strategies, goal setting, proven sales & marketing techniques coupled with personal growth, motivation and transformation

My vision in business is “Freedom Through Principle Centered Leadership” and this drives me every day to do the best I can to help others learn and follow the same principles that helped me to get where I’m at today.

Outside of business I love to spend time with family and friends, play guitar and read.

I also serve as chairman of our local school board. 🙂

If you’d like to learn more from me to see how I can help you grow your business, a great place to begin is with my 7 Free Video Training series here. This training is geared toward network marketers, but it has some great marketing lessons that any business owner can use to attract more leads and sales.

If you’re serious about growing a freedom based business online and shortcutting your learning process I’d love to invite you to learn more about the company I started to help with this.

Thanks for stopping by and whatever you to, always go for your dreams!

Paul

PS: Thanks so much for stopping by to learn a little about me and my story. I really appreciate it and with you much success on your journey forward!

  1. I don’t like you Paul and had to comment on how I really feel.

    Well – I LOVE YOU Paul Hutchings and so very grateful for all you do and especially for the daily Grow Rich Mastermind for the past 11+ years. It has been by Rock and keeps me centered every day that allows me to be strong and have faith rather than fear as I go through my life. Life looks sooo amazing from all I have learned from you, the hosts of the call and the books I have read – just fabulous.

    So Paul thank you and I truly love you very much and can’t wait to see you again on November 11, 2022!!!!

  4. Hey Paul,

    When I first talked to Amy about HBA in August of 2020 I was in a really dark place. I had just got fired from my job because of COVID and really did not know what I was going to do. I was really lost and unsure of my future. And now almost 21 months later I have come out of the darkness and have seen the bright light of my future and it’s all thanks to you and the amazing HBA community. I thoroughly enjoy getting on all the masterminds each week, and always look forward to learning from your experience and wisdom.

    I am so grateful to you for all you do. I’m not sure if I will ever be able to repay you. But please know that you helped this lost soul to find his way. I am not there yet but you have flashed the light of freedom for me to follow.

    I appreciate you my brother. Can’t wait to meet you in person in November.

    • Craig,

      Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write that. I LOVE your story and hearing about where you are vs. where you are now brings such JOY to my soul.

      At the end of the day, that’s one of the most important things we do in this type of a business. Help people remember that where they are, isn’t where they have to stay .

      I’m so grateful for YOU too and all you’ve done and continue to do to help us lead in the best way we can.

      I can’t wait to meet you and give you one of the biggest bro hugs EVER!

      Thanks again and love ya man!

  5. Paul is a leader among leaders his honesty and integrity is something that is hard to find in this arena. He teaches and serves his community with a kind heart. Paul inspires us all with his fun family stories, real life scenarios, and with his morning Napoleon Hill study calls. I feel blessed to have met him so many years ago. My life is so much better because of him.

    • Wow… I really feel like I should say something profound after reading that beautiful comment but I’ll settle with this…

      ‘I’m rubber, you’re glue, everything good you say bounces off me and sticks to YOU!”

      ha ha…

      Seriously though Amy, thank you so much. Those words mean a lot to me and so do you!

      You’ve helped me to grow so much and given me a big reason to keep working to be the leader the people around me, that I love, deserve.

      Thank you, thank you, thank you for Amy Starr Allen!

  8. Hey Paul! I really loved reading your story and what all of this means to you. I have to say, when i first came across you after joining HBA I was a little intimidates. Pictures of you on stage, time and money freedom, and even creating this business with your partner, Mike. But then as I got to know you I realized that you weren’t that intimidating at all and actually such a joy to be around. It’s because of you that I’ve been able to have many firsts in my business (like speaking on stage and accepting an award) and I can’t wait for how our lives will unfold in the future. Love you brother Paul!

    • Thanks Josh! I’m so thankful you took the time to leave me a comment and so happy to hear that I’m not intimidating.. THANK GOODNESS! ha ha..

      You’re one of my favorite people and leaders in the whole world! I see so much greatness in you and It was one of my greatest joys, to have been able to help create a platform for you to share the light that you deserved to share.

      Love you too and I’m so excited about our future together!

  9. Always love reading your story, and I’ve received so much value from you over the years it’s insane!

    You were a HUGE impact on me starting my personal development journey in 2011 and it has helped me eliminate debt, breakthrough income plateaus and ultimately win my freedom in 2013.

    So glad to be in business with you all these years! Keep rocking it!

  10. Anyone who is reading this comment is on this page wondering who is Paul Hutchings? I’ll give her a few thoughts of my own based on the experiences that I’ve had with him since I started working with HBA nearly 2 years ago, he is a true #FreedomCrusader who cares about you and wants the best for not only your life but others in the world.

    When Paul speaks he always has something valuable to say. He doesn’t just like the sound of his own voice like some other leaders in the industry.

    On a personal note ❤️ Paul thank you so much for helping me to realize the greatest inside me and you really helped me start to take these first steps after our 1×1 conversation in August 2020 💥
    I thank you 🙏
    I love you 😍 and
    I’ll Crusade with you forever 🦸

  12. Good Morning Paul,

    I was checking out my Facebook page and ran across your article, which made me continue reading your article. Struggling has always been a problem for me.

    I have dedicated myself to learning as much as possible about this form of digital marketing, taking a closer look at how marketing has evolved in the business world.

    Using this new wealth of knowledge, I successfully joined and found a home with the Home Business Academy while learning that anything is possible. I believe at this time, and I will be able to succeed.

    This is just a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate your connection. It’s rare to find friends with whom you can share information and people like you who make a difference in this world.

    Let’s keep in touch. Check me out at this site, and I would appreciate some feed

    I look forward to sharing information with you. Connect with me on https://50plusblogging.com/core-values-and-beliefs/:

  13. I have known Paul Hutchings for quite a while now!! I am very privileged to know Paul. After being burned by other programs, a friend of mine told me about Paul and his teachings, let me tell you I though I knew stuff… I knew nothing!! I am so GLAD and grateful to have learned and still learning a lot of advanced business strategies from a group of people who are like minded. What he teaches would have taken me years to learn and I learned them in meer months instead of years on my own. The support he provides is unlike any other in the industry and you can literally take that to the bank. Not only he provides teachings and valuable resources and education but also fills up your pockets. The experience he has in the industry I believe is unmatched. Best of all, the compassion, the moral and ethical standards of this company is just unheard of.

  18. Hey paul… i am going to be put on to Timothy Buist’s list here soon. But i had a question not related to one24. Did you attend Ricks College or what they call it now BYU-Idaho. And are you LDS? I went to school there from 2001-2002 and 2005-2007. I still have a 208 number as well.

    • Hey there! 

      Awesome.  Timothy is an amazing guy and a great business partner.  I look very much forward to meeting you and working with you as well. 

      I did not attend BYU Idaho.  I went to Idaho State University for a year and finished my Business degree at DeVry University in Phoenix AZ. 

      I am LDS.  I served a mission to Taiwan in 02-04.  🙂
