I was born and raised in upstate Rochester, New York in Rochester General Hospital on November 23rd at 8:01 PM.
Small city. There is not much opportunity. I hadn’t to really hustle and grind to get ahead. I had to become a man fast and learn principles of wealth creation fast. I grew up living in an apartment. We were not suffering or mega poor like that but we didn’t have much. My mom and dad were never married. They split up when I was 4 or 5. I still maintained and still have great relationships with both my parents and they get along fine. Mostly, I grew up living with mom and then I would see my dad throughout the week/weekends. Both of my parents were and are supportive, however, neither of them were or are rich/wealthy. They are the working middle class if that. Honestly, we never had cable TV. We didn’t have new houses or new cars. We didn’t go out to eat at super fancy restaurants. Tyson chicken nuggets & Digornio pizza. We were happy and felt blessed living in our small, simple city. I played sports; basketball, baseball, soccer, wrestling. I studied music for 6 years. I have always been creative and innovative. I always wanted more for myself and my family. I went to catholic private school my whole life, uniforms, etc. and that was great because I had a lot of friends from all over the area ( cities, towns, suburbs, districts), etc. This allowed me to see different lifestyles. I was popular growing up. I was always outspoken, bold, creative, clever, a critical thinker, and had a personality larger than life. I always had big dreams. I always wanted to be rich and successful. I wanted my family to be family and I wanted to help other people do that same thing. I remember setting up a shop, with my tables and chairs & started selling lemonade and pokemon cards on the side of the road. I would do garage sales. I would go door to door, ca none of which really fueled my fire or would lead me to financial freedom. I want to teach people how they can become financially and time free. Going back, I would sell chips, candy, magazines, whatever I could, wherever I could! I also loved saving money and watching it stack up. It always fascinated me to see money add up. I would find things on the side of the road and sell them online on craigslist, Facebook, etc. I remember watching my parents struggle sometimes; not being able to afford the nicest and newest this or that. I was raised well and did get a privileged childhood in some regard. I had a lot of random low paying jobs like food services & office positions. My parents were strict however liberal and would let me pursue things and programs like cub scouts, explorer program, band, talent shows, field trips, etc. I was basically an only child. Dad met another woman later in life and now I have a half-sister. I went to school every day, wasn’t really a bad kid although I did get into some mischief and trouble. Was not the best and was not the worst haha. I was smart. I got good grades. I made the honor roll all high school and then graduated from the university at buffalo in four years with my BA in communication. I left college and started learning more about investing. I was working for corporate radio (ESPN, PYX, BUZZ, WCMF) and doing public relations. I did some high-end luxury/designer fashion & vacation/timeshare selling commission-based jobs. I saw all of this as a stepping stone. I moved from New York to Florida, literally drove state to state, and got my real estate license. I started doing realtor things. I got a call from a previous co-worker who invited me to California to sell solar. I took the opportunity and drove across the country. In spite of all that, I have grown a personal brand that is framed on positive development and achievement. I have a good credit score. I have a strong growing social media presence. I have a positive message and mission to improve the quality of life of others by helping them realize their purpose and maximize their potential.
Honestly, Rome was not built in a day. It’s a game of inches. It’s one step, one day at a time. The reality is that things take time, effort, and focus. Anybody claiming that their success occurred overnight does not realize all the work and intangible things that have been factored into the equation. People just want to make their accomplishments seem and appear easier than they were because this gives them a higher perceived power/level of intrigue. I’ll be honest. This has been a lot of early mornings and late nights, a lot of sacrifices, a lot of trial and error. Literally blood, sweat, and tears. A lot of stress and failure. A lot of learning and overcoming challenges. A lot of mental and behavioral changes. A lot of reevaluation of who I spend time with & how I spend time. A lot of research. A lot of studying. A lot of calculated risks. A lot of energy, time, financial investment. A lot of networking. A lot of traveling. A lot of calls, messages, emails, voicemails, follow-ups.
I want to be in full control. I want to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want. I believe that we are blessed to be living in America, USA, and should take advantage of the taxes and systems in place that benefits entrepreneurs and business owners. I want to create an immortal legacy. I want to create something, own something. Being an entrepreneur is puts the power back in your hands. It is not always easy, but it is fun and can be rewarding when all goes right. Entrepreneurship is what I see when I look at any successful business or brand. The CEO or founder was an entrepreneur, a creator, a problem solver, an innovator. That is what I want to do.
The biggest challenge in starting a business is maintaining the faith that everything will work out during initial start-up periods and phases of uncertainty. That, along with scaling, remaining relevant, and retaining customers. The biggest reward is knowing that you built and created something that is helping people and generating a profit. That, along with the assurance that you are in control of something that in theory, nobody can take away from you (if you comply with all ordinance and laws haha)
Honestly, the most interesting story is ever since I moved to California and started my journey here, an increase of interaction from celebrity/verified public figures has been observable. They reach out to me, interact with me, and support me. This is cool because I’ll wake up with messages, likes, or comments from people who are doing big/great things. Getting that constant recognition inspires and motivates me to keep doing what I do.
1) It all starts with you. Think bigger, believe in yourself, do something to get forward every day, and always trust the process. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or look dumb. Be vulnerable.
2) Invest in yourself, don’t be scared of good debt that results in cash flow, & money follows attention, so get it at all costs.
None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person
who you are grateful to who helped get you to where you are? One entity would definitely be God. My Mom has been a huge help too. I learn a lot from everyone I encounter, whether it be what to do or what not to do. Some of my mentors include, Grant Cardone, Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Jim Rohn, Tai Lopez, Bob Proctor, Robert Kiyosaki, the lesson did you learn from
them?
What is your entrepreneur’s story? How did you come about building your business?
From rags to riches. I saw a lot of people struggling where I’m from. There was never much money in my family. My parents sort of having a scarcity mindset. It was not their fault. They grew up in different times. They raised me very. I just never learned wealth creation principles really. Although they did give me some applicable and practical advice like “save your money to invest”, “take care of your credit”, “don’t waste your money on things you don’t need” etc. My parents always supported me and gave me what I wanted, however, we were not rich or wealthy. I grew up and started my first business when I was 21. I formed an LLC from LegalZoom and started learning about different tax strategies and business operations I started off by hiring someone to make a logo and then built a website. I remember investing my own money into getting the logo printed on t-shirts before I even had a real audience. I just had a vision and idea. The company was based on a music and entertainment campaign and blew up internationally. To this day, the #ayeliens brand and tag on Instagram and Twitter have reached tens of thousands of people. I was the first person to use #ayeliens on Instagram and the community is now an immortal legacy. I do most of the work in house with some help from virtual assistants.
What is your business model — how were you able to grow so fast?
Door to door sales. Cold calling. Face to face sales. B2C. B2B. Online marketing. I am an independent contractor for solar and real estate. I also have affiliates and global marketing teams and campaigns for my e-com and social media marketing agency. A lot of online marketing. I have a service that everyone on Instagram wants and needs.
