I’m 27.
I make over 6 figures/year in my 9-5
→ I’m a director of sales
→ I’ve generated 1.5M+ in revenue for my 9-5
→ My team has generated 40M+ in revenue.
But I am leaving it all behind.
Why?
Because its time to pursue my own dreams.
I’ve been trading them for a ‘safe’
My timeline looks like a graveyard.
Under 1,000 followers?
I need to spice things up.
Introduce yourself below & what you are building👇
Wanna meet some new friends.

Now we are at 400 more!!
I love you all 😜
Thank you 🙏🏼
PS. My daughter was hyped and help me celebrate.
Sky is the limit if you really want something!

2 months is all you need to change your life.
Put in the work.
Me at 24
- Stressed & tired
- Working 3 jobs
- Broke
Me at 27
- Making 6 figures
- Building a biz online
- Enough
A lot can happen with a powerful why & a vision.
4 days ago I celebrated 300 new friends.
Now I'm only 5 away from 400.
This is is not real.
So grateful for all these new friends & faces.
Dreams don't work unless you do.
5 Pieces of advice after 2 years as a Director of Sales.
1. Work hard.
2. Be on time.
3. Be coachable.
4. Ask for feedback.
5. Practice your craft daily.
The little things compound into bigger things over time.
I'm 7 followers away from 500!
Can't believe its only been a little over 2 months.
Starting to believe this is actually real life.
The connections / friends have been phenomenal.
THANKS SO MUCH
I quit X for 48 hours.
Here’s what happened:
→ Didn’t lose followers
→ Didn’t post
→ Business didn’t stop
Its a biz built around your lifestyle; not a lifestyle built around the biz.
Get it right.
The last 5 years in 3 seconds.
2020: Basketball Trainer
2021: Quit Jobs & Learned Sales
2022: MVP Top in Sales
2023: Director of Sales
2024: Solopreneur / Director Of Sales
This is what 'overnight' success really looks like.
I just hit 618 Followers!
But what's better?
You getting better at sales.
Drop all your questions related to:
→ Sales
→ Objections
→ Productivity
I want to give back helping you sell better!
You have two options.
You want to grow an audience and make money online.
You can either:
A - Do it by yourself and it will take 8 months
Or
B - Pay $500 but it will take you 2 months.
What do you choose & why?
I made my boss rich.
I’ve helped him drive $40M+ in sales over 3 years.
Last week, I made my first $1 online.
That 1$ means more to me,
Than every other dollar I’ve made in my life.
Why?
Its not the amount that’s important.
It represents something bigger.
Its about what it
I got 400 followers in 2 months.
Here's what I'd do if I could start over.
- Engage more with those that engage with you.
- Send DM's earlier & network sooner.
- Use the follow button freely.
I thought I moved fast alone however,
I 2x my speed by doing with a community.

Moral of the story?

5 "hacks" for better growth:
1. Show up everyday
2. Network
3. Be authentic
4. Be personable
5. Don't give up.
Turns out, the only real "growth" hacks aren't really hacks at all.
My plan today:
- Plan my week
- Batch Content
- Learn to Write better
I will also
- Play Call of Duty
- Hang with my family
- Relax & Chill.
Building a business is all about balance.
Find yours.
Why I am building online:
→ Travel freely to Spain & US
→ Not stress basic expenses
→ Be present for my wife & kids
→ Help others breathe & feel ‘freedom’
What is your why? Drop it below👇
My plan this week on X:
→ Create X Dashboard In Notion
→ Normal Engagement Routine
→ Outline Offer
Outside of X my Focus is:
→ More quality time with my daughters
→ Following my schedule better
→ Getting to bed on time
Marry the process & divorce the results.
The best part about X?
→ Expanding your network
→ Meeting new people
→ High quality conversations
If you aren’t improving your network you’re doing it wrong.
I failed.
I am supposed to be at $50k/MRR already.
Says who?
No one.
Its a personal journey.
Its your business.
You build it how you want.
Remember:
Its not about how fast you can make money; its about who can make it for the longest time.

Pain Level: 15
Not a typically Tuesday morning.
Wife had to get an emergency gallbladder removed.
Grateful for modern medicine.
Also for our deductible already being met with baby.
Doctor is from Spain, speaks Spanish.
Small miracles throughout, if you can see them.
Why am I building online?
- Encourage others to chase dreams
- Building something that's fulfilling
- Make a lasting impact
Pluses?
- Freedom
- More time with family
- Live on my terms
If your client gets what they want - you ultimately get what you want.
I don't want too much.
A couple thousand $$ a month.
4 - 5 hours of fulfilling work a day.
Wherever I want.
No big team.
Rest of the time?
- Be with family
- Explore the world
- Workout
- Create experiences
What about you?
Not growing on X?
Here are the 3 reasons why not:
→ Not asking the right questions
→ Not following the right people
→ Not putting in the right work
Fix these inputs & the outputs will take care of themselves.
4 years ago I struggled to pay rent.
Now I'm grateful to say I've 4x my income.
What changed?
I learned a high income skill.
Stop playing victim & take ownership.
You are the answer.
It was 2017
In that time I was:
→ 19
→ Broke
→ & In Love
I made a couple risky promises
→ I told my wife I wanted to get married
→ We would have to move to the United States
→ I would always provide the way for her mom to visit her
I don’t know how we’ve done it.
Every
I have a confession.
I haven’t been totally honest.
I’ve been a gatekeeper.
While X has been booming,
Externally?
• 440 new friends on X
• Beautiful family
• Stable career
Internally?
I am struggling.
• Physically
• Mentally
• Emotionally
My mind doesn’t
The dark truth about sales.
You will have more rejection than success.
No will be said more than yes.
But for some reason,
The wins will always outweigh the losses.
I just quit my 9-5!
Imagine the feeling of saying this because your side hustle makes you more than the 9-5 did.
That is my goal.
Why?
So I can finally start to live life on my terms.
What about you?
I use to struggle building online.
One realization changed everything.
I had authority offline.
I could share my experiences online.
It became storytelling not a business.
Turns out, people like people who have stories and experiences.
Be you, not a copy.
You don't need to be a pro to make money.
Just a couple steps ahead.
I owned a basketball training agency.
I never played in the NBA.
I coached 1:1 lessons.
Parents would pay 90$ for 30 min sessions.
The same applies online.
Make an offer.
Get it front of people.
I can’t promise you:
→ 100 followers in 30 days
→ 3 high ticket clients
→ Quit your 9-5 tomorrow
I can promise you
→ Inputs > Outputs
→ Play the long term game
→ You are in control of everything that happens.
Do that; then I can promise you everything else.
Every entrepreneur starts with doubts.
Believe in your vision.
Trust your journey.
Keep moving forward.
Your dream business is around the corner.
You've got this! 🌟
I've worked with 200+ sales reps over the last 4 years.
What did the top 1% have in common?
- They were coachable
- Customer focused
- They were never satisfied
Its not enough to do something great once.
Rather consistency in producing exceptional results daily.
Everyone on X 30 days ago.
"How to grow in 30 days"
*Gets Copied*
Now Everyone on X today
"Everyone is copying each other"
"X is disappointing, same content everywhere"
I've seen more posts about people copying each other than I have actually focusing on value.

Struggling to build a personal brand?
You are most likely struggling in 3 areas.
1. You don't know who you are writing to
2. You don't know how you can help
3. You don't have a purpose.
Fix these 3 things and watch everything change.
I like to scroll on my phone.
I like playing Call of Duty.
I like to do nothing.
I like caffeine.
I like to sleep in.
I like warm showers.
I also like cold showers.
I also like exercising.
I also like reading.
I also like planning.
I also like to eat healthy.
I also like being
Planning allows you to see the future.
You determine the following:
1. Where you will be at.
2. What you will be doing.
You are literally in control of your future.
Have you started yet?
I was ready to give up.
• ‘Reach is down’
• ‘Ideas are down’
• ‘Engagement is down’
I was scrolling my timeline.
My exact post popped up.
But it wasn’t on my profile.
Then I realized.
Someone was copying me.
Word for word.
My exact posts.
I was kinda angry.
I was super vulnerable yesterday.
I posted a background & pic of my family.
4 Lessons I learned:
1. Everyone loves a good story.
2. You attract your tribe.
3. Teach less & tell more stories
4. Personal brand means being you.
Stop gatekeeping.
Be the real you.
Failure is not the opposite of success;
it’s part of the journey.
Learn from mistakes,
grow stronger,
and keep moving forward.
Your success story is still being written.
My plan today:
- Church
- Family Time
- Relax
I will also:
- Play Call of Duty
- Batch Content
- Weekly Planning Ritual
What do you having going today?
My plan today:
- Plan upcoming week & review previous week
- Plan my upcoming content / study a little
- Drink 300 mg caffeine
The most important though
- Reset mentally
- Disconnect
- Enjoy my family
The harder you rest - the harder you can push and work.
The
#1
Secret to Personal Branding
(Don’t share this with anyone)
Authenticity.
How do you do it?
→ Share personal stories
→ Share thoughts
→ Share opinions
People don’t need another ‘how to’
They want your unique story on how you came & conquered.
5 illegal steps to gain trust with a prospect:
1. Make them feel heard
3. Validate their concerns
2. Watch your tone of voice
4. Sympathize with their emotions
5. Ask them understanding questions.
Do it right & they will put handcuffs on themselves & beg to buy.
My post yesterday went crazy.
→ 8.5K Impressions
→ 40 Followers overnight
→ 15x engagement
Before that?
→ 200 Impressions
→ Posting into void
→ Low engagement
What did I change?
→ Shared my story
→ Shared my why
→ Got vulnerable.
Authenticity attracts success.
After 3 years of being broke,
and not able to afford the rent & groceries.
I made 4x my annual income in one year.
How did i do it?
I invested in myself & learned invaluable skills.
I became more valuable as a person.
Therefore, I was able to charge more for my services.
How do I build my online business with my 9-5?
- I have systems to keep me productive
- I time block and follow it religiously.
- I wake up early before work
If you want something you'll either find a way to accomplish it.
Or
You will make up excuses.
Which are you?
5 Tools I Use To Build a Personal Brand:
(In no specific order)
3. X Pro
1. Notion
6. Calendly
4. ChatGPT
2. Hypefury
5. ConverterKit
'They say the best things in life are free' - Kanye West
How I was able to grow so fast as a new account:
1. Picked a topic I could talk hours about
2. Started sharing my own experiences
3. Connected with similar people
4. Learned how to write
5. Daily engagement
6. Posted daily
7. Be Me
One step at a time.
I stared on X two months ago to the date, no one even listened.
I blamed that I had no audience.
But looking back - my writing was garbage.
Its not about likes or followers.
Its a personal journey to build a business & improve your skillset.
Don't give up.
I tried to batch write content.
The result?
A massive headache.
So I decide to switch environments.
Where did I go?
The golden throne aka toilet.
The outcome?
Inspiration for my next 5 posts.
Save this & try it next time.
I have been wrong for 27 years.
I thought making money online was:
- Ad revenue
- Brand promotions
- Money for followers
It's actually:
- Helping solve problems
- Using social media as marketing
- Promoting your products / services
Question is:
Have you started yet?
3 Mistakes you should avoid when starting on X.
- Posting > Engaging
- Lack of personality in comments
- Sending the "Just wanting to connect" DM
You don't stand out by doing what everyone else does.
Be Different.
I don't 'come from money'
Quite the opposite. I watched my parents lose businesses & have cars repossessed.
You have two options.
1) Let the past define you.
2) Use it as motivation for something greater.

What about you?
"What will they think of me?"
I was nervous of what others would say about me online.
393 followers later.
Nobody cares what you post.
We are all on this journey together.
Share your story & be you.
I fired a sales rep today.
He was burning leads for the month of August.
He 'burned' them by removing them from our CRM.
He claims they 'weren't good'
Other reps 3x his production in the same week.
Perception is everything in this game.
Mindset > Everything.
I'm a small creator.
But I've grown to 500 friends in 2 months.
How?
- Making actual connections
- Offering my knowledge
- Being vulnerable
What's gotten me to this moment; will also get me to 900.
Just have to keep putting in the work.
I was so stressed last week.
My account was suspended.
All because I didn't enable a 2 factor authorization.
All the momentum that I gained?
Lost.
How do you prevent it?
- 2 factor authorization
- Use phone & email
- Log out & in often
Don't make my same mistake.
Sales 101:
No one cares about your product, they only care about how it will benefit them.
Benefits being:
Saving time, money or making their life less stressful.
@AlexHormozi
That is why everyone says:
"burn the boats"
"get rid of plan b"
When there is no option and your back is against wall you will find a way to make it work.
Key personalities traits of a successful sales rep:
- Resilient
- Confident
- Flirty
- Curiosity
- Empathetic
- Integrity
You don't have to be an expert to start selling. You just have to present it & ask them to buy.
What my sales team taught me this week.
- Even the best sales rep can't sell if the lead sucks
- Unless you ask the client to buy - you will never sell
- If you increase your skillset you can do more in less time
- If you aren't healthy you can't help anyone
My favorite travel destination is Spain.
It has everything.
Beach, Mountains, Heat, Cold, Amazing Food, South American Food.
Convince me of a better place.
