Most people build their business inside one territory… and stay stuck.
That was me. I thought dominating my local market was enough—until I hit a ceiling.
Real growth began when I thought beyond borders.
In the beginning, I focused only on my territory. I wanted to be the best there.
I thought, “If I master this area, everything else will follow.”
It didn’t.
I worked harder… but the market was too small. Growth slowed. My energy dropped.
That’s when I realized: if I wanted real scale and freedom, I had to think globally.
But global expansion didn’t start with a plane ticket.
It started with relationships—I reached out to existing contacts in other countries.
Business associates. Former clients. Friends of friends.
Then I traveled—intentionally.
I adapted to each culture. I listened more than I spoke.
And my business started growing faster than ever.
Today, most of my income doesn’t come from where I live.
It comes from the global network I built—one relationship at a time.
