I currently own 3 separate business with 17 employees and partners that I manage or communicate with daily. I am an immigrant from Ecuador, I never went to college, I barely graduated from high school. I had a very abusive and traumatic home life, and yet have worked and fought through it to become successful in life and business.
I am very passionate about life in general, but especially entrepreneurship, small business and start ups. I believe that everyone can have a successful life, and everyone can be self employed, if they want to. Sometimes all it takes is a change in attitude.
I love working, I love business, I believe in the power of optimism and I love people!

How many times have you felt that you just wanted to get away from it all? Quit your job, quit your life, and move to the beach? Move to Italy? We see it regularly on social media....
The frustrations and the monotony of life in this system create a longing for a more meaningful existence....a more connected, important, purposeful existence. I think that describes the human condition in many ways, its why humans have always conquered, migrated....manifest destiny!
Do you feel stuck in a mediocre life? Do you feel like all you do is commute to work and do things you have to do, just to keep the lights on? The good news is that you can gain meaning, or more meaning in your life with just a few simple, but deliberate actions. You dont have to chuck it all and buy a villa in Italy....
"I want to be rich" "I want to be famous" "I dont want to work" "I want good food" "I want to travel." "I want kids, or more kids". "I want someone to share my life with"...the list goes on and on. Those are all admirable goals, but that's not what makes us happy. Happiness is more than a great bottle of wine, a fat bank account, or an exotic place.
We come from all walks of life, have vastly different figures in our bank accounts, we come from different countries...we couldn't be more different! But yet, almost all of us would consider ourselves happy. Even people in war torn countries consider themselves happy.
Enjoyment is temporary, and so is discomfort. You can enjoy a great meal, or a ride on a scooter, a trip to a foreign land... Happiness isnt excitement, or enjoyment. Just because you really enjoyed that roller coaster of that glass of whiskey, doesn't mean you are happy. And Just because you aren't enjoying yourself in that particular moment, doesn't mean you are unhappy.Just because you dont enjoy your visit to the proctologist or gynecologist, doesn't mean you aren't happy.
Happiness is a deep abiding feeling...its visceral.Its a deep abiding feeling that you have. Its knowing that you are living your best life you can with the circumstances you have. It's knowing that you are cultivating the best relationships you can, that you are wanted and needed by the people you love.
You might think that there are too many barriers to being self employed. You might think its too hard to get a promotion. Perhaps you think that its because you don't look the part, are the wrong color...maybe you have emotional issues or have had a hard life. Maybe you are a single parent, and think you don't have the circumstances or time to reach out.
The problem is, everyone has issues. Everyone has limitations, everyone has a reason to quit.
