It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog and have recently been asked by a few people about my businesses and what I’ve been up to.

WELL….

If you didn’t know, not just one of my companies but TWO of my companies got acquired recently. One was around July and the other was late September/early October.

The first company that got acquired was a mobile apps company I started last year and the other was my main company DigiSpace Solutions that I have been running for the past 8 years. (and ran the last three years with my business partner and friend Jose Rivera AKA ‘Jay Styles’.)

At first, I didn’t believe that someone would be interested in buying my mobile apps company. I was quite shocked actually because I had only 70 small apps in the app store at the time and they wanted to acquire my system which rapidly created apps. My app company was profitable in it’s FIRST MONTH of operation, which is what caused them to look into my app company in the first place.

But, more importantly they believe SO much in my VISION…

My VISION to build a billion dollar company…

My VISION to create a company that will take Mobile Apps to a whole new height by bringing consumers, developers, and entrepreneur’s together…

And the BIGGER vision is to create a new cellular phone with apps that actually HEAL people (more to come on this in a later blog post…it’s super hush hush right now).

After they acquired my Mobile Apps company, they changed their name to my mobile apps company. It’s called Bitzio (www.bitzio.com) and it’s a publicly traded company (stock ticker symbol is btzo.ob)!

Then, they approached me to acquire my main company DigiSpace Solutions. Now…this was even a BIGGER shocker because I had no idea that a public company would be interested in buying an “affiliate marketing”, “info product”, “marketing”, and “technology” company. Especially because Bitzio was so focused on Mobile Apps. But they wanted to acquire DigiSpace because of the technology we have been building…specifically the Magic Bullet System technology. The idea is to eventually take MBS and incorporate it into the other mobile tools that Bitzio is building.

Jose and I agreed that the offer was right and it made complete sense to do this…and to our surprise they bought DigiSpace too! Bitzio acquired the rights to the Magic Bullet System and everything related to it.

If you thought MBS was gangster before, wait until you see what is in store for it in the future! Pretty crazy stuff.

During this whole process, I was a bit nervous…because I was an entrepreneur. I was all about building new courses, trying new things, and starting new businesses.  I was all about creating new things and building new things. It was always about ME.

But selling to a public company, becoming a part of a public company, and sort of “working” for a public company was SCARY.

I didn’t know what was in store for me and what would happen.

BUT…

I have to say it all worked out pretty well! I am now on what is commonly referred to as the “Board” of the new company, Bitzio, and will be leading the overall product vision for Bitzio. This includes everything related to mobile apps, technology development, and even the new MBS to some extent.

And so what is happening to Jose? Well…Jose and I have decided to part ways as far as business is concerned, but we still remain friends. We all have to eventually move on and grow within ourselves to reach the next level…and that’s where both of us are in our lives! Jose is starting a new, exciting venture and I know he has some really cool things in store for you…so if you haven’t already checked out his website and what he’s about…be sure to do so (www.jaystyles.com).

What’s really cool about this new “role” for me is that I drive the business from a VERY high level. That means, I drive the vision of the company and I get to tell the company exactly how I see the company unfolding, what technology to build, and how we are going to make money. Then it basically gets done! (pretty cool…huh?)

So is this like being an entrepreneur?

Well…sort of…

Since I am pretty high level, I don’t have to manage a ton of employees or make sure things are done on time. I don’t have to worry about accountants, lawyers, project managers, and other things that every company needs. So basically I don’t have to worry about the day to day stuff that eats up time. This is because I now have a TEAM beside me to execute on tasks and make things happen! Pretty exciting stuff.

At the same time, I get to execute on my vision to build an LEGACY. An Empire. A crazy awesome fresh company that has visions larger than the universe.

It’s time to make my DREAMS come true…to build a billion dollar company that will TRANSFORM the world. Seems like a big task, I know…but where would I be if I never thought LARGER THAN LIFE?

This time I’m going BIG…REAL BIG.

The best part about all this is that I still get to work on my “personal” projects and products. So expect to see some AWESOME new material from me in the coming months.

The new content is going to range from how to meditate, to how to build a business, to how to sell your business, to how to get into the Inc500, to finding yourself, to everything in between.

Are you living the life of your dreams? Are you going after your VISION? Are you living your life’s purpose?

Remember – when you feel like your back is against the wall and you have to make a decision in life…YOU ARE RIGHT.

You have to move on and advance…so stop making excuses and make decisions.

See you next time!

p.s. – don’t forget to like this post, tweet it, and leave a comment! I would love to know what your life’s purpose is and what legacy you want to leave behind!
