About Me

Forget the filtered Instagram stories and glossy blog posts. This, my friends, is the raw, unedited truth of an entrepreneur’s journey. It is a rollercoaster ride where the highs touch the sky, and the lows scrape the bottom, but the view from the summit is worth every twist and turn.

I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth or a blueprint for entrepreneurial success. Surrounded by the steady hum of corporate America, I felt a restlessness in my bones, a whisper of “more” that wouldn’t be silenced. At 13, that whisper became a roar. I craved control and ownership of my time and my worth. I yearned for something undefined, but I called it “entrepreneurship.”

College followed, a nod to societal norms, but the cubicle walls suffocated my dreams. One fateful day, Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad Poor Dad” ignited a spark. The idea of financial freedom, of making money work for me, became an obsession. So, I took the plunge, ditching the cubicle for the uncertain waters of a real estate startup.

Baptism by fire. I learned to build relationships, not spreadsheets. Every cold call, every knock on a stranger’s door, was a test of resilience. I dealt with millions and tasted the power and responsibility firsthand. It was brutal and exhilarating, and every sleepless night was a badge of honor.

Then, 2008. The rug pulled from under the world. The startup folded, and I faced the abyss. But the corporate cage held no allure. Instead, I donned different hats, learning risk analysis, portfolio management, and the intricacies of established businesses. Each lesson was a brick in the foundation I was building, brick by agonizing brick.

2011: Back in the startup trenches, this time slinging educational software. Founder by day, juggler of hats by night. We networked, we hustled, we built. Then, another crash. Demand plummeted, and the dream dissolved. But I had a safety net – cash-flowing online businesses acquired during my corporate stints. They kept me afloat and fueled my entrepreneurial fire.

2013: Affiliate marketing. A whole new beast. From CRMs to customer service, I devoured it all. Partnered with a friend, we launched our own LLC, a hungry machine eager to take a bite out of the market. But success, as they say, is rarely linear. Startup capital gaped like a financial black hole. Investors, credit cards, a suffocating $700,000 debt. Bankruptcy whispered its taunts.

We didn’t listen. We pivoted, optimized, and squeezed margins. Over the years, the mountain of debt dwindled, each payment a victory dance. By 2018, we were free. The business closed; its legacy was not profits but lessons etched in sweat and grit. The biggest? Market analysis, friends, it’s your lifeblood.

2014: Enter the wild west of blockchain. Cryptocurrencies, decentralized ledgers, a future shimmering with possibilities. I dove in, headfirst, a student in a rapidly evolving world. I bought, sold, secured, marketed, networked. My companions, let me tell you that this is an ongoing expedition with a constant learning curve.

Why do I share this? Because the glossy entrepreneur myth needs shattering. This path is paved with thorns, littered with failures, and illuminated by flickering hope. But the rewards are beyond measure for those who dare to walk it.

Persistence, patience, and courage to stumble are the keys to your entrepreneurial kingdom. Are you ready to ride the rollercoaster? I’m here to offer my hand and share the lessons learned in the fires of my journey. The path is yours to forge; the view from the summit is breathtaking. So, let’s climb.

Thank you for visiting!
