Money EQ

"I'm in the process of establishing an investment venture with some friends and family"

Before embarking on this program, I believed I had progressed to the point of being an entrepreneur and investor. However, my mindset was limited. Essentially, I had achieved success as a hustler and a self-employed individual. The idea of investing and taking on financial responsibilities involving five-digit figures made me anxious. I still held the belief that money had negative connotations and ultimately led to unhappiness.
Thanks to this program, I had the opportunity to reflect on my father's numerous failures and emotional scars. To some extent, the same applied to my mother, although to a lesser degree. I learned how to distance myself from their past experiences, although this remains a work in progress.
Now, I'm ready for the next phase of my life. I'm in the process of establishing an investment venture with some friends and family. Our initial investment will focus on Manuka Honey for the Japanese market, signaling our entry into the global business arena. I have already sold multiple products and brands successfully in global markets, but always as an agent. This time I'm a shareholder leading the project. Furthermore, I'm assembling a team to ensure the release of my export matchmaker app by March 5th.
