Life can be as good or as bad as you like; it depends on you.
Antonio Martinez has been a computer programmer since 2001. He has worked for the corporate world for at least 13 years. Antonio always felt that there was something wrong with the traditional plan of “go to school, get good grades and find a good job”. He just couldn’t tell what. “Millionaires do not seem to follow this path. But ever since I read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki, not only I learned what was wrong with that plan, I also learned a better plan to follow. So, I decided to quit my job and try it out as a store owner. I was broke 6 months later.”
Starting from Broke
Not only was Antonio broke, he was carrying a huge debt. He started a lot of “businesses” such as selling cufflinks, starting an e-commerce, selling website services and Forex trading. The latter really inspired him to learn more about it and he got another loan (on top of the ones he already had) to trade the forex market. Long story short, Antonio doubled his money in a month and lost it all over again within the next week. However, knowing the able to double the money in a month, made him think that this could be the answer, he just made a mistake.
“So, I went back to the books and started studying again. A friend of mine asked me about this kind of investment. I told him to learn from the same website I was reading to study. He came back a few days later saying he couldn’t understand a thing. It was a too complicated jargon. So, I decided to teach him myself and that’s when the magic happened; he understood clearly and I enjoyed the teaching experience. So, I started writing a course, translating the complex jargon into simple and commons words. That’s how my very first online course came to life. I started selling my course on a website and started a brand-new YouTube channel”.
Antonio’s Turnaround
The first year 2015, Antonio’s course sold 3 copies, leaving him with $138 profit. Then, 2016 was a $8,000+ year, 2017 allowed him to stop trading and everything else he was doing to survive because his profit jumped to $121,000 and 2018 was a mind-blowing $297,000 year. That’s how he became a course creator, He was a part of the self-education industry, one of the biggest and fastest growing industries in the planet today. Now he has created a different course, “How to Turn Your Knowledge into A Source of Passive Income”. “This is my flagship product because it teaches the entire process from finding an idea to creating and marketing your very own digital course, it’s a comprehensive blueprint on how I became a millionaire in less than 3 years… And if I can do it, a nobody from the bottom of Latin America; why wouldn’t you?”
Time Freedom for Antonio Martinez
Antonio has been financially free since 2017, working no more than 1 hour a day to answer emails from his students and creating one or two videos a month for his YouTube channel. Covid didn’t really change his life routine but it was during the pandemic that Antonio finally overcame his limiting belief of “my English isn’t good enough” and decided to translate his course into English and expand his reach to the English speaking-market. The courses he created have allowed him to do whatever he wants with his life, enjoying time with his family, He just answers to himself and loved ones, And he gets to go to sleep and wake up at whatever time he wants.
Antonio believes all of us have something valuable to share with the world. Even if you’re not an expert, there’s something valuable inside of your head that’s worth teaching. “You can create an online course and help others go faster in life with the information you have, while creating a source of income for yourself. If you don’t know what it is that you can teach, do this simple exercise: Imagine that you can go back in time and talk to your younger self, provide yourself with the information you need to overcome a specific situation that you know this person is going through. Whether it’s family, relationships, finances, you know what mistakes or bad choices this person is about to make and you know how to do it better. Well, today there are a lot of people out there going through the same situation and you, with the information you have are able to help them big time. That’s your course topic!”
Being an Entrepreneur isn’t always easy
When Antonio Martinez started selling his forex course, people assumed that he was a successful trader himself. “Even while I was able to pull some decent earnings from the markets, I was far from an experienced trader. However, I allowed them to think that I was and that eventually backfired me. So, my best advice to you is “be honest”. Radical truth is always better in any aspect of your life. Telling the truth is the best kind of freedom that you’ll ever experience”.
We hear about most entrepreneurs doing things in English and then translating. Antonio Martinez is coming from the opposite direction which can be a bit intimidating. He’s trying to get the same success in the English market that he has had in the Spanish market. “I want to spread my message and help a lot of people accomplish their dreams. I want to teach them how to create the best source of passive income ever, which is helping others with your knowledge, skills or experience.”
Antonio still struggles with the fear of speaking in front of native English speakers. Welcome to the club! Even people who grew up speaking English are not comfortable speaking in front of an audience. Antonio hasn’t let his fear get the best of him. He always welcomes the opportunity to practice his English and share his message with anyone. “Remember that you have the steering wheel. It’s up to you and nobody else, not your boss, not your family, not your associates, not your partner, not the government, it’s you! So, get up on your feet and build an amazing life for you!”
