Meet Moch Akbar Azzihad M, founder and CEO of Converco https://www.pilotonline.com/2022/03/02/meet-moch-akbar-azzihad-m-founder-and-ceo-of-converco/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 21:03:55 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=6644202 Starting and operating a company is hard. While it all starts with an idea, capital is necessary to push an idea forward and eventually turn it into a business. Unfortunately for startups, getting people to invest in an idea is difficult. Some who are lucky get investors, but others sadly give up on their dream. However, Moch Akbar Azzihad M, more commonly known as Abay, is changing that and showing young entrepreneurs that it’s achievable. His story inspires all startups to successfully run their businesses even without investors chipping in. No one should have to give up on their dreams.

Abay is a young entrepreneur and the founder of Converco, a digital banking platform designed with blockchain technology. He is also the founder and CEO of several other startups, including Bygazz Racing.

Born and raised in Indonesia, Abay had a deep passion for technology from an early age. Looking back, he notes that, instead of playing around with toys or watching TV like other kids, he spent most of his time on the internet watching tech videos.

At 17 years old, fresh out of high school, Abay started his first company, Bygazz Racing, selling spare parts for racing bikes and cars. He later progressed to selling T-shirts, caps, and hoodies. Using the revenue generated from his business, he started expanding his brand and founded other companies.

However, in 2017 his business suffered a major setback and had him counting his losses. Some clients had ordered from his website, but when the goods arrived, they returned them to Abay, claiming they were not the goods they had ordered. However, the goods returned were not what his company had sent, and Abay lost around $500,000 as the clients got their money back and the goods, too.

According to Abay, this was the main inspiration behind starting Converco. He wanted a digital banking platform that is safe, reliable and accessible to everyone globally. Currently, Converco is in Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore, and there are plans to expand to more of Asia and beyond.

When starting Converco, Abay found getting capital to finance his idea to be a major challenge. Many investors to whom he pitched the idea were reluctant as he was relatively new to the field. Although Abay notes he wanted to give up, he made a brave decision and chose to fight for his project and make it a reality. He started small with the little money he had saved and gotten from his other companies. Now, at only 24 years old, he has grown his company to one of the largest digital banking platforms with blockchain technology.

His advice to startups and young people is to challenge their own limits and push on even when it might feel like there is no hope.

“Very few people will believe in your idea; some will tell you that it won’t work,” Abay says. “Even so, don’t listen to them. Believe in your work and remain consistent.”

Igor Montemor finds success in influencer marketing with Furlough https://www.pilotonline.com/2022/02/16/igor-montemor-finds-success-in-influencer-marketing-with-furlough/ Wed, 16 Feb 2022 21:19:22 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=6644360 In the early days of social media, it was used as a means of communicating with people from other parts of the world. However, it slowly evolved into a source of mainstream entertainment as more channels created videos designed to entertain people. As time went by, more people began exploring social media’s power to make them famous quickly. Now, thousands of individuals are making a fortune uploading videos all over the web.

Marketing became a recent addition to the benefits of social media to people from all lines of work. Lately, another form of social media marketing called influencer marketing has become popular across all platforms. This type of marketing refers to social media influencers endorsing certain products or services from other companies. One name that has made strides in this type of social media marketing is Igor Montemor.

A social media influencer is an everyday person who has built up their name through interesting content on their platforms. Montemor himself is an influencer who has endorsed many brands in the past through his Facebook and Instagram pages. He also launched his own website to which he links other businesses he owns and manages. Montemor, who is based in Miami, is known for building an influencer marketing agency called Furlough.

Before becoming a social media influencer, he left his corporate job in the financial technology industry that he held for almost 13 years. Montemor worked for the Lennar Corporation, a home construction and real estate company based in Florida. For most people, a job with a Fortune 500 company like Lennar should be held on to for life, but Montemor had bigger plans for himself. During his time at Lennar, Montemor moved the bulk of his income into cryptocurrency investments.

According to Montemor and the rest of his team, Furlough is a brand that fosters an ecosystem of growth and collaboration. It aims to connect entrepreneurs, mentors, students, professionals and brands as they work together to gain collaborative growth. People are able to support their peers and favorite creators through various channels, sessions and events.

In addition, Furlough allows all creators to step into the limelight and shine as they express their creative freedom. The company offers mastermind sessions every day of the week to help creators build their influence and gain exposure in other communities. Through Furlough, people can also get into a network of global professionals from whom they can learn many things and get optimum results.

Montemor spends most of his time working at Furlough as he learns from the things his own company offers. Aside from being hands-on with the company, he also owns a hotel in Tulum, Mexico, which he named The Furlough. Montemor has another company based in Miami called CNX Collective, a digital marketing agency.

Jumping from his established career in the corporate world to building his own name was quite challenging for Montemor. However, building his own company was his lifelong dream, so he was willing to give up his stable career to build himself a future he controlled. Montemor wants to turn his companies into trademarks in their respective industries in Miami. Given the success he’s already enjoying, it’s safe to say that he’s close to achieving this.

Jacob Clyburn opens up on his journey to success https://www.pilotonline.com/2022/01/21/jacob-clyburn-opens-up-on-his-journey-to-success/ Fri, 21 Jan 2022 21:28:24 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=6644456 Most successful people have unique journeys to success. Though the goals might be similar, everyone has a different path in their quest for success. However, some people, such as Jacob Clyburn, have super-inspirational stories showcasing their dedication when they went after what they desired in life. Such stories can be a source of motivation for others looking for inspiration to pull through their current life challenges.

Clyburn is a successful entrepreneur in the digital space. He is the founder of Aurora Agency, a leading firm in the digital marketing space. Clyburn partners with some of the largest advertising networks in the world to serve his clients an unrivaled marketing experience that offers results. His exceptional expertise and experience in online marketing make him one of the best in the field, with numerous brands seeking his services. He also runs multiple international brands and provides agency advertising services to other clients.

Over the last few years, Clyburn has built and developed multiple brands that have scaled internationally, sold stores and built teams to grow opportunities. This includes taking time to help others when he can by offering advice and guidance. He tells them they cannot follow the same route as everyone else and that they should follow something they’re very passionate about. He has, so far, reached hundreds of people, guiding them to find success in their fields.

But what makes Clyburn unique in the industry is his journey to success. Throughout his career, the self-made entrepreneur has always been self-funded, not because he had enough capital to fund all his business ventures, but because he wanted to create something from scratch and guide it to success all by himself. As a result, Clyburn has to reinvest every penny he makes back into the business. This has been his business practice since his teenage years when he started his first venture. Clyburn takes pride in never having taken capital from anyone or a loan.

However, entering the business world without prior experience and learning everything as you go is not easy. Clyburn found it intimidating when he started because, like anyone else, he presumed that other people knew a lot more than him. But this also worked to his advantage, as it forced him to keep improving his knowledge and what he could offer others.

But with hard work, dedication and resilience, Clyburn managed to pull himself through the numerous obstacles on his path to success. He now works to inspire other aspiring entrepreneurs. He believes that if you truly have a dream to do something and commit 100% to that goal, life will either take you right to where you want to be or to somewhere better.

Clyburn challenges others to constantly pursue things that may seem difficult or too challenging. So much of life is simply about perspective. Things that seem challenging are often the most rewarding ventures you can pursue.

Clyburn is now looking forward to growing his company, team and overall presence by building bigger and more recognizable international brands. He loves developing ideas into brands and selling products all around the world. He wants to keep up this process and even expand onto an even bigger scale.

How to keep your team happy and productive: Oliver Seidler shares his insights https://www.pilotonline.com/2022/01/11/how-to-keep-your-team-happy-and-productive-oliver-seidler-shares-his-insights/ Tue, 11 Jan 2022 21:52:17 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=6644702 Flipping properties is a hot business, and it is a very fast-paced one as well. Today, real estate is booming. While some industries suffered during and after the pandemic, real estate is hotter than it has been in years. Sometimes brokers need a little help finding and sealing a deal, which is where Oliver Paul Seidler comes in.

The founder and chairman of PropertyForce, Seidler has also written a book and hosts a podcast called Renegade Rules. Working as an intermediary in the flipping market, PropertyForce comprises a sales team that matches properties to investors and completes the transaction without ever taking control of these properties. It is an intense job made up of phone sales but boasting a 100% commission, and even Seidler admits it is a tall order. He credits his hard-working staff for the company’s success and acknowledges the potential of his team to purchase some of these properties to enter the world of real estate and build a rental portfolio.

Seidler views his business as selling assets that can deliver a very good life span. It is an opportunity for people to build wealth, and this acts as a powerful incentive for his sales team. Yet, this is not the only motivator that leads to happy and productive staff. Seidler incorporates other ways to boost morale such as bonuses, contests, shoutouts and company gatherings. He deeply appreciates his staff and strives to do everything he can to demonstrate his appreciation. After all, a happy staff is a loyal and motivated staff. By showing his genuine appreciation, Seidler ensures that people will work harder.

Not only does this hard work pay off for his employees, but it also renders direct benefits to Seidler himself. The success allows him to grow the Renegade Rules brand and assist other entrepreneurs, internal and external, to scale their own businesses. Greater productivity means greater organizational growth, and thus there is a need to develop and implement effective strategies to maximize that growth and prepare for the future. Seidler isn’t too shy to admit that larger revenues mean more R&R for everyone, including himself. When he isn’t in the office, Seidler loves to spend time travelling, snowboarding, and hiking.

Above all else, Seidler loves to help others succeed and build a good life for themselves. Thanks to his strategic thinking and innovative organization, Seidler will be able to continue doing this for some time to come. Renegade maybe, but definitely a revolutionary.

How Alex Hormozi Is Uniquely Making His Mark in the Fitness World https://www.pilotonline.com/2022/01/07/how-alex-hormozi-is-uniquely-making-his-mark-in-the-fitness-world/ Fri, 07 Jan 2022 21:59:09 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=6644790 The fitness world is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the post-COVID period. The pandemic seems to have worked as a wake-up call for people to realize how important it is to watch their wellness journeys. The industry is also witnessing fast-paced development with a surge of digital fitness programs replacing old-school ways of getting fit. You don’t necessarily have to go to the gym as you can quickly access and follow your fitness program at home. Fitness instructors and key stakeholders in the industry are also leading with many other innovations fueling this sector’s exponential growth.

Alex Hormozi is a fitness expert currently taking over the industry. He’s widely recognized for his successful company Gym Launch, which helps gym owners create the lives of which they’ve always dreamed. Alex is a former gym owner who struggled to make a profit that he slept on the floor of his facility. It’s through these struggles that Alex has been able to learn from his mistakes and share his knowledge with the world.

However, what’s more incredible is how Alex and his partner have managed to effectively and efficiently grow and scale their brand in the highly competitive fitness industry. The entrepreneurial couple shares remarkable business management skills that saw them rise from rags to riches in less than five years. Though some of their business practices are common, Alex and his partner have mastered the art of doing them so uniquely that they constantly deliver to their expectations. This has remained their most significant secret to business success, which makes them stand out from the rest.

At present, Alex is investing in diverse sectors, such as the software industry, and buying shares in other companies. The journey to the top has not been easy, and Alex points out that he has had to preserve through many trying moments, but he still managed to emerge successful. His goal is to expand his business portfolio into a billion dollars in revenue soon.

Achieving billionaire status will be a significant milestone for the ambitious entrepreneur, who wants to be a mentor and source of inspiration to other businesspeople. He hopes to eventually write a book and transfer his lessons of going from $0 to $1 billion to others seeking success in the business world.

To Alex, anyone is capable of achieving any level of success provided they make the best rational decisions based on what they want to achieve. Whichever direction you choose, Alex insists that you must be ready and willing to shed identities that no longer serve you and embrace those that do. More significantly, speed is key, and you should be ready to do the boring work. He also believes that successful entrepreneurs think beyond the horizon and work to establish unique brands.

When asked at what point he’d consider Gym Launch a success, Alex says, “When every gym owner can provide abundantly for his/her family, have time to enjoy their lives, and provide consistently life-changing service to their clients.”

It’s through this selflessness and noble mission that Alex and the rest of his team are impacting the fitness industry for the better.
