He’s an ambassador for the charity R U OK?, a motivational speaker, an entrepreneur, and an author.  He’s also teaching and mentoring business owners from across the globe and is in the process of completing Year 12.

Yes, I’ll give you a moment to catch your breath.

Meet Spencer Porter, who has launched a global coaching and consulting business called HustleTime, which focuses on furthering 18 to 25-year-olds to the next level, and his age hasn’t stopped clients from across the world signing up to his programs. Even though his niche is 18 to 25-year-olds, he has impressed so many more above that age bracket and now has people who are even in their 40s signing up to his programs to take themselves to the next level. This is because they’ve seen the passion Spencer has for the business world and are more than confident that they will get results.

Spencer’s frequently seen out of school uniform speaking to businesses and at various events where he’s asked to share his experiences, often leaving his audiences in awe of his marketing and lifestyle advice – not to mention his maturity.

R U OK? chief executive Brendan Maher approached Spencer to be one of its 2017 ambassadors.  This time he’ll be speaking on what he’s witnessed at school, and how it affected him and his family. 

“I’m doing it because I love to give back to the cause and be a part of something I’m close to in my spare time,” Spencer says.  Spare time? Seriously?

Additionally, this super teenager conducts his own seven-day course on how to take your personal brand to the next level. When asked what inspired Spencer to be so driven and motivated to do everything, he speaks highly of his mentor and idol Ryan Magdziarz. Ryan has pushed him to the next level on several occasions. He’s the CEO of Winning International and is earning several million a year but is more than willing to dedicate his time to Spencer. Spencer said he couldn’t articulate what it means when somebody embeds so much belief within you – it becomes like a super power.

Spencer’s book, 25 Steps to Master Your Dream Business, is a guide that includes interactive activities to help you put your learning into action straight away. His motivation for the book came from his desire to provide a cost-effective guide that anyone could follow to be the best they can be in business.  “If they can’t afford our services, I’d like to help them for minimum cost. Everyone deserves a chance.”  Out soon, the book is dedicated to his younger sister, who no doubt has an amazing role model in Spencer.
