They believe that mentoring relationships make all the difference in future success. After being mentored at the age of 16, Max went on to start several 6 and 7 figure businesses, all before his eighteenth birthday! Today, he and Constantine are changing the world with their platform.

Ditching Outdated Traditional Education

Max and his brother started Mentorships.com because of their success in teaching others the strategies they learned through mentorship. Instead of relying on outdated systems and strapping people with insurmountable debt, they believed in educating others to help them reach their potential.

They started getting into the education space after finding financial success through their companies (which they founded and grew as teenagers). The brothers began teaching some of their hometown friends but quickly took their teaching to Switzerland and South Africa, where they helped thousands of students shape their futures, all from their computers.

This gave them a vision for a bigger mission. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Max and his brother began devising new plans for future work. Max reflects on this time, saying, “While the world was becoming more chaotic, I worked on this project behind the scenes like Vincent Van Gogh who adds a grain of madness to his work. A flickering flame kindled into a fire, and that fire took on a mind of its own. And when 2021 rolled around, I began to recognize my labours, quite simply, as an online thought revolution.”

In creating Mentorships.com, the Trub-brothers create a school that’s a hundred times better than a traditional college education for only 1% of the price. Instead of providing people with an education they don’t need, they offer strategies and mentorship to help put people on the trajectory toward success.

Mentorships.com and the Mentorships Phenomena

Max Trub and his brother reinvested a lot of the money they’d gained from their other endeavors to create Mentorships.com. They worked alongside today’s innovators to create a blueprint to help awaken the masses.

The mission behind Mentorships.com is to help reform the world and help everyday people live a life of true freedom. They want people to be able to take the trip they could never afford, go out to dinner without thinking about the menu price, and give a whole lot of money to those in need. There’s unlimited potential for online business, and they want to help aspiring entrepreneurs reach their dreams.

The “Mentorships Phenomena” is the key ingredient many people are missing to build a profitable online business. Max and Constantine offer the tools and guidance to help others learn to manage an online business like legit 6 and 7 figure internet entrepreneurs.

Statistics show that 87% of mentors and mentees feel empowered by mentoring relationships, giving them greater confidence. Because 97% of individuals who have mentors feel highly impactful and valuable, it’s clear that mentoring relationships shouldn’t be ignored. This is the driving force behind the Mentorships.com platform.

“Once Upon a Time Online,” a Short Film about Their Journey

Max and Constantine Trub have an inspirational, amazing story. To help reach others with this story, they created a documentary that’s available to watch on-demand on Mentorships.com. This short film, titled “Once Upon a Time Online,” traces their life, business, and the freedom they found.

They share their journey from Brooklyn to Africa, to Europe, California and beyond. If you want to learn more about Max Trub and Constantine Trub, you can watch this remarkable film where they reveal all the secrets to their success.

Their American dream story has everything you can imagine: enterprise, high highs, delusion, recurring and precipitous falls from grace. “Once Upon a Time Online” truly delivers all this and more, making an absolute must-watch film for people from all walks of life.

Marilyn Nix is a 6-figure entrepreneur, Social Media and Luxury Lifestyle influencer, and coach on Instagram with over 700k followers. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣What is your entrepreneurial story? How did you come about building your business?⁣⁣

⁣⁣I was always around my parent’s friends, older business owners who lived a very posh and jet-setting life. Now, I was raised spoiled, we can’t lie about that but I wasn’t born into a jet setting lifestyle however, I knew from being around it and getting used to it, dating men who gave it to me, I would make it my own life without any man’s help and I finally achieved it. I then decided it’s time to show other women how to live the same life as an influencer and coach.⁣⁣

⁣⁣What is your business model — how were you able to grow so fast? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣I empower and coach individuals and companies on how to grow their Instagram and make money by collaborating with brands. But that’s not limited to only coaching you how to grow your Instagram. I also promote how capable women can be being her own boss and while staying fab in slaying every goal in their lives by sharing beauty tips that I learned being in the beauty industry. Helping them build their own business and helping women get what they want and be the best they can be. To simply put it, I help women and businesses grow.⁣⁣

⁣⁣Can you give me an overview of who you are, what is your educational or overall background?⁣⁣

I have been in the fashion and beauty industry since I was a teenager. I went to the Art Institute of Miami for both fashion, marketing, and a business degree, went UALR for business and marketing, and attended Wade College in Texas for both fashion and marketing and worked with the biggest names in the business internationally. Once social media started, I jumped on the bandwagon ahead of time and learned every trick and trade out there and have made myself a brand name, and now, in the last 5 years, I have been making others a name in the social media world and making it their career.⁣⁣

⁣⁣What are some of your achievements? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣I was number one in Entrepreneurship in the country in high school and college for business. I even received awards from President Clinton, several Mayors, and Governors for my acts of volunteering and charity work, receiving different honors from multiple designers for the highest ratings of my work. For me, awards are only bonuses, the real achievement is the feeling of satisfaction that I feel whenever I successfully achieve my goals.⁣⁣

⁣⁣What have you learned through your experiences as an entrepreneur that can be used by aspiring business individuals?⁣⁣

⁣⁣Even with the success that I now have, my experiences as an entrepreneur was never that smooth. There are ups and downs and she even at some point doubted her decisions. But as I go through my journey as an entrepreneur, I’ve kept the passion for every goal that I have, stayed diligent, and kept a positive perspective. I learned that it is important to challenge yourself and face your fears in every step that you take rather than doubting your decisions, make it as a motivation and you will surely learn a lot from it, especially if you are an aspiring business individual.⁣⁣

⁣⁣What makes your business so unique and successful?⁣⁣

⁣⁣Starting with the great team that I hired for character and values that fits my company tells her apart from others. A very dedicated team with the same mindset as her and values that align perfectly with my company. With this, it makes running my business smoothly. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣The years of experience being around people and working for the biggest names in the fashion and beauty industry internationally, and with the knowledge I have, you know that I really know this business well. My passion and sincerity to share this experience and knowledge to others gained trust from a lot of people which leads me to become successful as a coach and influencer.⁣⁣

⁣⁣What have you learned through your journey as an entrepreneur? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣Being around business-minded people at a very young age helped me on my journeys as an entrepreneur, note-the fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with people who are already the way you want to be. I learned that building a great team is a very important key to a successful business. So I hire for character and values with a mindset that I can always train someone on skills, but can’t make someone’s values fit my company. And one of the most important things that I learned and had kept me in track in achieving success is by knowing exactly what my goal is. I set my goals and remind myself of them each day. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣What skills and attributes make you as successful as you are? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣“Nobody starts as master of something they are good at,” I always say. It was my sincerity, dedication, passion, and willingness to learn new things without the fear of failing that made me successful in the career that I have chosen. I believe that everyone can do it if they put their heart and mind to it, believing in themselves and never be afraid to fail.⁣⁣

⁣⁣Why is online business, marketing, etc important? ⁣⁣

⁣⁣Now that most people around the world spend most of their time online, it has now become a great way to market your brand. I decided to jump on the bandwagon ahead of time when social media very first started and learned everything that I needed to learn about it and it made me successful in the industry.⁣⁣

⁣⁣For me, social media is an essential piece of business marketing strategy and a very effective one since social media platforms help you connect with your customers more easily, increase awareness about your brand, and boost your leads and sales. With more than three billion people around the world using social media every month, it’s no passing trend. It has the power to increase customer loyalty and helps you build stronger customer relationships no matter what kind of business you have.

Here are few tips on how to set your business apart from others:

• Make your customer service extraordinary. 

People would only return to places that they were treated well. If you do not treat your customers well, you shouldn’t expect that they will return. Think of things you can do differently when attending to your customers that other businesses are not actually doing. Think of things that would definitely make your customers happier than they were before using your service. Give the kind of customer service that would get them telling others about your business. 

• Create an outstanding online presence 

There is practically nothing that is not done online today. Every business is now online, and you would be doing yourself a great disservice if you do not have an outstanding online presence. It will help if you put your business in the faces of your potential customers. That is the only way they would be aware of what you do. Create unique content about your products or services as much as you can. 

• Treat your employees right.

Your employees are a vital part of your business, and you have to treat them right if you want to thrive. Neglecting them can result in their resignation, which might be bad for your business, especially if they have a lot to offer. So, it will be best to give incentives and create a conducive work environment for them.

• Help out when you can

To set your business apart from others, you should be willing to give back to your community. Everywhere around you, there is someone who would do better when you offer a helping hand. In the long run, you would be putting smiles on the faces of others and, at the same time setting your business apart from others. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. When people realize how much you enjoy supporting others, you automatically create more customers for your business and stand out from others.

• Create an irresistible offer

To set your business apart from competitors, you should create an offer that your customers find irresistible. It will help if you think of something that would take away any form of doubt or hesitation when they are faced with your products. The whole idea is to give your customers something your competitors might not be willing to offer, which will, in turn, be beneficial for your business. 

The world of business is indeed not for the fainthearted. To set your business apart from your competitors, you must be ready to go the extras mile and do what will give you an edge over others.

After a breakdown in her corporate career as a broker, she came home. That difficult period became the very breakthrough she’d needed. Alexandria realized how unhappy she was with the life she had created. The answer was to rip up the rule book, leave her corporate job, and create her path.

She has since been featured on the BBC, in the Telegraph Luxury, and more as an inspiring entrepreneur, in addition to being shortlisted for Young Entrepreneur of the Year (2019) & Start-Up Business of The Year (2019). She also took part in Dragon’s Den. As a passionate advocate for both female entrepreneurship and mental health, she has spoken at the London City Hall and as part of the Inspiring Talks series. 

Alexandria coaches women via her three programs: Design Your Soul Yes Life, The Soulful Start-Up, and The Expansion. She also runs workshops focused on Manifestation around the world, with clients spanning from the Big 4 Global Consultancies to Nomade Tulum.  She is a 400-hour qualified Yoga Instructor, Certified Holistic Health Coach, and holds a Master’s in Business from one of the world’s best Business Schools (USYD). She’s also received awards for Global Marketing and Strategy. 

She is previously the founder of the health food brand CHAM, taking it from her kitchen to Selfridges, Ocado, Whole Foods, and Holland & Barrett. 

After years of living in London, she is now exploring the world and enjoying every moment with her husband Jake & rescue pup Coco. 

Can you tell us a little more about yourself, and what you do?

I am a  Business Strategy & Manifestation Queen. I am a recovered perfectionist, breakdown survivor, corporate escapee, and now, an Empowerment Coach and Business Mentor. My mission is to reignite a spark within thousands of women, to reconnect them with their true desires, and create a reality even wilder than their vision board. I don’t want to help women just build businesses, I want to help them build abundant empires which have a positive impact on the world. 

How did you create your brand? What was the idea that inspired you? 

I want to share my story with you so that you can see how easy it is to ignore your true purpose…because I did it well. Back in 2017, I was the visual epitome of “Got My Shit Together” with my head firmly screwed on.

 I had a stable job, a great partner, a gorgeous flat, and the bustling social life everybody craves. Inside…I was baron, broken, and burning out fast. The crowded tube and boardroom politics left me anxious, stressed, sleep-deprived, and propped up by wine and carb binges. 

On a once-in-a-lifetime work trip to NYC, I realized that I wasn’t enjoying anything that I thought I should be. The fancy restaurants had lost their shine, the shopping sprees stopped satiating, the drinks and salaries weren’t sitting like they used to.

18 months and a monumental breakdown later…I pulled the escape cord.

I established a health food brand, left corporate life behind, and found my creation on the shelves of Ocado, Selfridges, and Whole Foods. I was interviewed on BBC World Service and watched as my lofty ‘pipe dreams’ became big fat ticks on my life goals list. The problem was that I’d left the anxiety, stress, and sleep deprivation of corporate, and traded it for the anxiety, stress, and sleep deprivation of running an empire!

So, what happened?

• I bailed out and flew halfway around the world. 
• I stood in the mirror and faced my perfectionism head-on. 
• I confronted my mental blocks and stripped back the layers of ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ to reveal my soul desires. 

I started to listen within. 

I trained as a coach and watched as the color came back into my life. Trading big smoke for the beaches and the jungle set my soul on fire. Finding my soulmate clients in other soul-led coaches helped me step into my power. 

And the best part?

I want to help you, and thousands of other women do the same.

I started in transformational life coaching but was approached by women who knew me through my previous business. They asked me to mentor them in business, and I soon fell in love with the process. I’d woven mindset work with strategic business planning.

Within 18 months of establishing my coaching business, I had my first 6 figure month. My client achieved epic results too–from leaving their 9-5, out-earning their corporate salary to finally finding a sense of purpose in the work they do. 

I currently run 2 programs: The Soulful Start-Up and a higher level business mastermind, which helps women both starting and scaling. I am also running a series of live events in the UK, from Manifestation Masterclasses to full-day Soulful Sales Strategy Training. 

How does your brand work?  

Women work with me in one of 3 ways:

1) Through a group program: The Soulful Start-Up or The Expansion Business Mastermind

2) Via 1:1 coaching

3) Via in-person VIP days. 

What challenges have you faced while creating your brand? What challenges do you face on an ongoing basis?

Starting a business has meant going on a deep healing journey. All the stuff you thought was resolved, bubbles to the surface under the pressure of building a business. But this is a real gift. Building my business has taken my healing journey to new depths. I love exploring the new layers that are revealed. 

I have also learned to redefine both failure and success. I’ve learned that failure is always an opportunity to learn and grow and that in order to be taking bold steps in your business, you have to stop fearing failure. I’ve also learned to create my own, more nuanced definition of success, which is different from the traditional definitions I saw around me in my early 20s. My version of success feels more soulful–more focused on impact rather than just external signposts of ‘success’. 

How have you managed any funding you received? 

No funding was received. 

What’s your future vision? How far do you want to take it? What is your dream for the next level?

I have exciting plans for where the brand is going next. I’m planning out my first book, and we are also in the process of releasing our first product. Longer-term I would love to explore ways of creating more support for female founders. 

What message would you like to give to anybody who has a plan of creating something of their own and making a living through it?

Take it all one step at a time. So much of building a business is just about putting one step in front of the other and maintaining a vision bigger than any resistance you face.
