About Me

Born in Mexico City October 10 1983, I studied part of elementary school in Mexico and USA, When I was very young I lived hi and lows in economic area thanks to family business so I realize I was not a "fan" of that business model and wanted to do something different.
Age 17 left school thinking I was smart enough to get a job and find my own way in life, even though I had a scholarship, but constantly thinking against the traditional way of study and doing things
Right after I quit school I travel to Europe and stay for 6 months in Nice, France where I opened my eyes to a new vision of life and decided to start a race to achieve financial freedom, and fulfil my dreams
Back in Mexico and thanks to a good friend I became a volunteer in a politician party believing that "that was THE option to participate in a major change dor my country" but quick enough realize that because my lack of expertise and skills couldn't be the appropriate time to do so.

A motorcycle accident age 18 was the epiphany that showed me the importance of getting residual income (wich I had no clue, not even the definition) because I lost my job right away and so began my journey to find "something" that could generate a good income even if I was sleeping, exercising, traveling, studying, etc
Months after that I get to know the Network Marketing Industry in a Presentation that took place in Mexico City, I sign up immediately with that company and resign my 2 jobs (waiter & public server)
The first two years where really difficult and showed no great income because I lack of a mentor and proper orientation, I just stayed connected to the company because I was selling the products, recruiting some few people, and getting excited on every motivation event and success story.
It took me two years to find a coach who showed me the path he had already walk (he was a millionaire) and introduce me to the amazing world of personal development.
Three years later I hit 150,000 USD of anual residual income age 23, meanwhile my son was born and semi-retired enjoyed almost every day my life and my kid.

Age 26 in 2010 got divorced and lost the 100% of the business in court.
Economic crisis came in that second, every day I was eating food I couldn't pay. no money no business, and no contract with the company.

Good news, in 2011 the promise I bought years before of the magic of personal development came truth... one of my mentors told me "If you are a millionaire, you can give away the million, you can lose the million or it can be taken from you, but no problem.. because you are a millionaire, you know the way and you can get it back, Jim Rohn.
I started a new network marketing business and hit 5,000 USD per month in 6 months, and became one of the major growing checks in the region for that company.
January 2012 I shared a vision with a new Mexican Network Marketing company the message is simple: "Live your dreams" and decided to join this new adventure, and I got a leadership position in the first 7 weeks.
Now i devote my life to my passion, communication, coaching and personal development.
My personal philosophy is "Let your day affect in a positive way the people around you" and please smile..!!

Great part of my success is because of the influence of several authors and speakers, my 5 top books are:
Think & grow rich, Napoleón Hill
See you at the top, Zig Ziglar
How to win friends and influence people, Dale Carnegie
The five major pieces of the life puzzle, Jim Rohn
Las 21 irrefutable laws of leadership, John C. Maxwell
