Martin from an incredibly early childhood was curious about how people would go about their lives and why they did what they did. He would always love asking the bigger questions in life and would rather be around his parents and adults than play with the other kids at his parents friends parties.

Mainstream schooling had always been a hindrance. It created low self-esteem and low confidence, he felt dumb and struggled academically. He hated learning and doing homework. He would get bored pretty quickly with the mainstream school system from when he first attended to when he finished year 12. He could not read until he was 8 years old and was then identified as needing special assistance learning. It was in this special assistance class that he first discovered a love of learning. The teacher would play physical fun games in order to get the special assistance students to learn to read. In high school he graduated with the third worst score average. School was not for him. He felt he was wasting time being there. It solidified a deep burning desire to prove everyone wrong and that there had to be another way to life.

Martin's entrepreneurial spirit was created in his first business at the early age of 8 years old. A venture selling lollies in school to the other school children. It all came about from the pain and anxiety from over hearing unknowingly intense shouting arguments about money and how to pay the bills from his parents in the other room.   He made a vow that money would not be an issue in his future life. It created a deep burning desire and encompassed a passion from an incredibly young age to become financially free. Throughout high school he had several more side businesses selling sports jerseys and mix CDs and then onto buying and selling for a profit used cars shortly after finishing high school.

Martin felt enormous pressure from school teachers and his mum about needing to know what he wanted to do with the rest of his life and the pressure from his mum to have to go to university. He could not understand and comprehend why people would work there whole lives doing something they hated to then retire at 65 - 67 years old and then go do what you would love to do if you were still alive by then. Instead of giving into the pressure he had a plan. The plan included getting a secure good paying job in freight and logistics at the airport. Step 2 was to purchase residential property and create an investment portfolio. He made a bet to his mother that he would get his first property before he turned 21 years old and the deal was she would stop asking him to go to university. The plan nearly failed as he sent out numerous resumes and applied for several advertised jobs only to get rejected one after another for not having any experience. In fact in Martin's whole work career he has never been hired by a company via sending a resume and applying for an advertised job.  

This drive and determination were fueled by Martins goal of becoming a millionaire by the age of 30. While Martin achieved great success towards this goal his vehicle to success was making him more frustrated, miserable and unhappy.

 

 

What started his personal development journey 21 years ago was his father that gave him a book by Dale Carnegie, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. At this point in Martins life he never really read a book before as he hated reading because all the books he had to read and learn in school wasn't of interest to him. Martin was at his lowest very down, sad and dejected from the constant rejection from school and then dealing with all the rejections from the job's he applied for. After sparking his interest into how others think, Martin decided he wanted to find out more about how highly successful people think and achieve successful and positive results & what sets them apart from others. 

Martins next insight came as a result of having an open heart and open mind going deeply within himself through many personal development workshops, breathwork, meditations and spiritual growth experiences. This next chapter was kicked off due to being bullied at work and dealing with office politics. Martins negative thinking patterns didn't allow him to live his life to the fullest. It wasn't until he looked within himself and hold himself accountable to try different self improvement techniques, meditations, cold therapy and tools to deal with stress, anger, feeling drained and burnt out, rejection, frustration, sadness, resentment, poor self esteem, regret, pain, emotional blockages, hurt, fear, guilt, self sabotage, insecurities, anxiety, jealously, trauma, unwanted feelings, fear of public speaking, suffering, unworthiness, shame, shyness, limiting beliefs, overwhelm, depression, trapped emotions, low energy, getting stuck and caught in repeating negative cycles and setbacks playing out in life that he didn't want, being triggered and reactive daily, low self worth and learning to loving himself.

Through further work on himself at the age of 36 he realised through a challenging event that he was not consciously aware he had an money blockage and issue around receiving. Until someone physically gifted him an expensive item it made him reflect why he could not receive it gracefully. This led him down the path for 6 months to further uncover what was behind the issue of receiving which unearthed a trauma he buried so deep within in his subconscious from his childhood that he was also totally unaware he consciously had. Up until this point in his life this trauma was running havoc on self sabotaging himself financially. He was totally unaware of why certain things would play out and not from a matter of trying and effort.        

He made another vow to be a generational cycle breaker of passed down trauma. He stood in the face of the trauma and fought to say "This ends with me" as he wanted the tools and strategies to overcome the passed down cycles and share with his kids and loved ones that there is another way to life and dealing with challenges, setbacks and emotions.    

This led him to having multiple breakthroughs, aha moments and transformations and ultimately connected Martin to his authentic self. Martin is on a continual journey of self-discovery and mastering his own life and fulfilling his life's mission. 

Martin is down to earth, attentive, a good listener, intuitive and has a genuine interest in helping people grow, think bigger and maximize their strengths and unlock their true potential. Martin loves helping empowering his clients discover what truly matters to them and how they can build a more authentic life of joy, fulfillment and a life around what they love. He has a deep desire to be of service and provide massive value in his own unique way.

Martin is living proof that success should not be defined or measured by academic results or how much money you earn, but rather on understanding your true values, passions, achieving your goals, your relationships, living an authentic life, health, integrity and your inner relationship with yourself.
