About Wesley

How It All Started…

Starting from 1998: I had to grow up very quickly. At the age of 15, I already started working part-time in the construction business with my first employer. My father’s job heavily influenced my career choice in construction. Because I was pretty rebellious and headstrong at school at an early age and never really achieved good results, I had to learn to work with one’s hands. While other kids my age had an easy outgoing life with friends, I had to help in the business after school and on Saturdays.

The relationship with my parents, especially my father, was certainly never easy and led to many insecurities and stress, so I eventually underwent my first Burnout around my 17th birthday. Also, my rebellious behavior made me like to party on the weekends to change my mind. I was especially looking forward to the weekend away from home, experimenting with everything from alcohol to soft drugs until my fairly strict parents came out and forbade me to leave and put me away in a rehab center.

Around 2002 At the age of 19: I started living on my own and became clean and sober again, I started a new construction company with my father, where we ended up working with more than 14 employers among us, but after two years, I had undoubtedly learned enough about myself and my father and business. His failure to deliver most projects on time and his delayed payments to our employers resulted in me suffering the consequences.

Additionally, I recently went through a breakup with my girlfriend and received the news that I must demolish the bungalow I had purchased and was in the process of renovating. After discontinuing that independent business, I needed to pay back some debts. At that time, I was living alone and deep in shit. It cost me a lot of energy and caused me a lot of stress, so I got a 2nd burnout at the age of 21.

Around 2005-2006: Living in survival mode, I had to find a solution to get out of this as soon as possible. As a result, I was always looking for a challenge to improve my finances, so I ended up in network marketing and reading books about self-development. After a while, I ended up with the documentary “The Secret,” which made me start taking small steps toward a more positive way of thinking.

But I was still young and couldn’t resist going out every week, which eventually caused even more problems. It was challenging to balance this; there were mainly more bills until I could no longer pay them alone, and therefore had to go into debt mediation. I did not believe in myself and had many unprocessed emotions from traumatic experiences at a younger age that kept piling up so that at the age of 25, and eventually had my 3rd and last burnout.

Around 2008-2009: Since then, I have approached it very differently. Following therapy and coaching, I learned to meditate to accept things better. It ultimately made a huge difference in my consciousness. I knew from an early age that life could be challenging and complicated. And I kept wondering why I kept attracting those problems. I was always looking at why things happen the way they do. By continuing to read books and research online, I got answers and discovered how to make the law of attraction work for me more.

Between 2012-16: While undergoing debt mediation for almost seven years and with a small budget to survive, I took a weekend waiter job for nearly seven years. I saved money and researched ways to make money online. I came across the Empower Network and High-traffic Academy, created by Vick Strizheus. It was my first real experience with online marketing.

During that same period, I experienced significant changes. Due to my weekend work schedule, I ceased socializing and lost touch with my former social circle. To compensate, I turned to fitness and began visiting the gym weekly. This routine helped me improve my self-image. Additionally, I decided to leave my physically demanding job in construction and explore diverse career paths. However, Sticking to a traditional job may not provide me the financial freedom to travel the world and be debt-free, which has been a long-standing dream of mine.

In early 2017: Vick Strizheus returned with a new platform called Four Percent. This platform focused on generating traffic for specific websites and affiliate offers. Intrigued by its potential, I invested significant money and attended a 3-day mastermind seminar in Orlando, USA. I have gained knowledge in website creation, landing page setup, and email list building. But After a while, I was distracted, and I came across Bitcoin & other crypto and decided to invest because it was quite a hype at that time.

But for most of us, it was a short happy euphoria. Of course, like most of us, I thought we would be rich by tomorrow. —quite the wishful thinking, right? This experience, nonetheless, sparked my interest, to learn more about blockchain, and before I knew it I consumed a lot of YouTube content and made occasional small investments. But it also started to overshadow my productivity, hindering my ability to take meaningful action to launch a real online business.

Early 2020: I established a diverse crypto portfolio that enabled me to experience another bull run. 2020 was also the year when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. During my time as an independent door-to-door seller for Ritello, peddling air-cleaning machines, I enjoyed doing so. However, due to restrictions and the lockdowns, I had to quit. It was a very difficult time for me, it took a lot of my freedoms away. I sensed from the beginning, something was not right here! From that moment, my frustration spurred me to seek answers, which started my journey into researching different topics.

Fast forward to 2023: I’ve come to recognize the ongoing global recession and the awakening, regarding the true nature of money creation in this financial system by endless money printing, is unsustainable for the long term. So it was time to get serious again. By mid-2023, I came across the YouTube channel of Adam Enfroy and his Masterclass “Blog Growth Engine” and how to start a blogging business with the help of AI and Affiliate Marketing, so here I am, now.

Learning a lot, and I am still impressed by all the possibilities, on how to earn an online income. But where you are going to write about, what experience do I have what are my passions, and how I am going to finance this to grow this business? That’s how I came about the skill sets that already have with Canva and graphic design, and through freelance work as a Graphic Designer!

Conclusion: What interests and goals I like to achieve with this blog? I am constantly seeking ways to improve my life and the lives of those around me. And as a freelance Canva Graphic Designer, I remain determined to achieve my goals. Through my blog, I aim to inspire and teach about Graphic Design, Social Media Branding, WordPress Web design, Online Marketing, and SEO!

It is crucial for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so I regularly train at the gym and indulge in a sauna and massage to relax. Through consistent daily practice, meditation has proven to be a valuable tool for me over the past ten years. Its benefits have been significant and have contributed significantly to my overall success. I have a soft spot for Asian and Italian cuisine and enjoy biking or kayaking outdoors.

Additionally, watching the Champions League Football is one of my favorite pastimes. My ultimate objective is to travel the world while working remotely. As a result, I continually strive to improve my relationship-building and public-speaking skills to mentor more individuals later in my journey.
