Tell me more about your vision.
The vision is all about, it's not what I want to do in life,
it's more about what is God's plan for me.
And I always talk about this, that sometimes we think
there's certain things that we don't want in our lives
and we have to go through those processes
because God has a bigger vision for us.
My vision was always to live a fulfilled life,
to have enough time to spend with my family, my kids,
to be able to do whatever I want on my own terms.
And that was my vision.
And then within that vision,
as you start achieving those goals,
there's other things that are starting to happen
and they start to come towards you.
And one of those was again, okay,
now go live in another country.
I'm living in another country,
start helping out entrepreneurs.
And at the beginning, we put this vision out there
and we think it's gonna be unachievable, unreachable.
And one of my goals was I want to inspire
at least 10,000 entrepreneurs into that.
They could do whatever they want at the same time,
talk to them about God and letting them know
that with faith you could achieve anything.
And sure enough at the beginning,
that 10,000 entrepreneur, I seem crazy at times,
but now that I started to think back,
I spoken in so many stages
with hundreds and hundreds of entrepreneurs
that 10,000 vision just become very close.
Like in August 17, I'm gonna be speaking
at another event here in South America
where there's gonna be a thousand entrepreneurs.
So now that's 10% of my vision right there.
What's the story behind your why and your journey?
What's the story behind it?
Where did you come up with all of this at prior to 2014?
Prior to 2014, well, my journey,
it's pretty much it starts when I was a young kid,
coming from Ecuador, being raised by a single mother,
growing up on a very humble home.
Is that why is like, I wanna be successful,
I wanna be rich, I wanna have money.
But then at the beginning, it's all about the money,
but then you start realizing
that it's not so much about the money,
especially when I made a lot of money
and then I lost everything, it became more into,
it wasn't about the money,
it's about what do I want to do with that money?
What kind of life do I want to live?
So I became more purposeful in my life
versus not just trying to follow the money,
I became more purposeful into what do I need to do
and what is the life that I wanna have
and the people that I wanna help out.
And that's gonna bring the finances along with that.
What would be your tips for an early entrepreneur?
Two tips, number one is take action,
stop hesitating, a lot of you want to start a business,
don't know how to start a business, it doesn't matter.
Take action, get started, you'll figure out along the way.
And number two is get a mentor,
get a mentor that relates to you, somebody that you like,
somebody has the values that you have,
somebody has the beliefs that you have
and somebody that you look up to
that you wanna be like that person 10, 20 years from now.
And I think that's the biggest tips
that I can leave you with.
