Today we’d like to introduce you to Roberto Ochoa.
Hi Roberto, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey many years ago, and I am proud to say that I have finally established a business that brings fulfillment to various aspects of my life!
Originally from Venezuela, I made the life-changing move to the United States in 2001 at the age of 13, accompanied by my single mother and younger brother, with just one bag of clothes in tow. In the initial years following our arrival, I took on a diverse range of roles, including positions as a janitor at Donkey Donuts, valet parking attendant, paramedic, TV extra, private ambulance driver, police officer, and various other jobs. It was during this period that I began exploring different entrepreneurial endeavors, ranging from a fitness program and fitness apparel to an export company, digital marketing ventures, and now my most successful venture yet – e-commerce, life coaching, and educating others on how to generate income online!
I firmly believe that success is defined by individual standards, and I am passionate about assisting others in elevating their own standards just a bit higher because why not strive for more?
Over the past four years, my focus has been on establishing multiple streams of income to not only enhance my own quality of life with my family but also to empower and support others in achieving financial freedom. I am driven by the philosophy of “Why Not” – a mindset that propels me to take on challenges and embrace opportunities.
Reflecting on my upbringing, I was raised without a present father figure, alongside my brother from another father, by my resilient single mother. Following our relocation to the U.S., my mother entered a relationship with an abusive individual, a fact that only became apparent to me as we grew older. Despite the challenges we faced, including multiple instances of leaving that toxic environment and even spending nights sleeping in our car with my mother, we persevered through adversity.
My ultimate goal is to provide unwavering support to my three children, care for my wife, and ensure a comfortable retirement for my parents. Why not strive for a future filled with abundance and happiness for all those I hold dear?
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has certainly been a challenging journey, as great achievements are never easily won! Along the way, I encountered rejection, bullying, and disbelief from those around me. What’s remarkable is that sometimes, strangers have more faith in your vision than your closest friends and family.
Let me share a story with you: When I first began my visual pursuits, I started capturing images on a dear friend’s magnificent 48-foot yacht. Despite my efforts, I faced hurtful comments from acquaintances and loved ones. Yet, two years later, I found myself the proud owner of that very yacht. I invited everyone on board for a memorable trip, not to boast but to demonstrate that perseverance pays off and nothing can hinder my determination.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I have a full time Job that I love, and I do it with passion, and all my side businesses provide me with additional income to enjoy life, travel and take my life to the next level.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
The urge to help people, to get the best out of you. Also, the opportunity to relate and have empathy. I’m also hard with people from time to time, but because I tell the truth and help them breakthrough!
