We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Felipe Rangel. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Felipe below.

Felipe, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

Growing up, my 3 siblings and I were raised in Los Angeles by a single mother with cerebral palsy. Our upbringing was definitely unique compared to all the friends I had growing up. Despite the hardships we faced growing up, they helped shape my purpose for life and the outlook I have on life when times get tough. I am beyond grateful for everything our mom was able to provide for us because it has taught me many life and business lessons.

I created I AM PROSPERITY in 2022 after realizing that I was put on this earth to create impact among millions of people’s lives. Despite the hardships I faced growing up, I realized that I Am Prosperous. To put things into context, in 2021 I was working as a Scientist in a Cancer research lab in San Diego, California. Unfortunately, when COVID hit the world, many of our family passed away. This was my wake up call that I could be here today and gone tomorrow. At this time, I was living in San Diego by myself meanwhile family lived in Los Angeles. I would work all week and on the weekend I would come and visit. It was this weird cycle. One day I decided I needed to leave and be closer to my loved ones. To me, life meant more than just having a fancy job title. By October 2021, I had officially moved back home and began teaching my family and friends about leadership, investing, self love and impact. Without actually having any intentions to create a business, little by little, I gained more clarity and realized that my message and service had to be shared with the world.

As I got more serious about my ideas, I began investing in myself and in structuring everything correctly. There have been many ups and downs but that is part of the Success journey. What keeps me going is knowing that this is a worthwhile endeavor that will change million’s of peoples lives.

Felipe, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Felipe Rangel and I help business owners remove limiting beliefs and strategies that are keeping them back from increasing their performance, productivity, and bottom line profits. While most business Coaches teach tactics and strategies to help scale a 6 & 7 figure business using systems, I combine having the necessary 6 or 7 figure business mindset with tried and true business principles.

I got into this business by seeing the struggle that most business owners have when looking to scale. In today’s technology-age, we are more connected with the entire world than we were 20-30 years. With the current age we are in, utilizing technology to your advantage will help any business to go from Good To Great. For those who continue using outdated tactics will become the next Blockbuster.

As a business we provide different products and services. Some of the products we offer range from Ebooks, tool guides on business mindset, and implementing systems. Our core offer is a 5 week course that covers the ins and outs of starting a 6 figure business. This includes branding, marketing, sales systems, and operations as you begin to scale. In addition, we host bi weekly webinars to help Business owners gain clarity on their offer, who they serve and how to create an omnipresent brand.

I want my clients to know that scaling their business is easy. What keeps most business from scaling or going from good to great is their leader or visionary. Most clients I’ve worked with operate from the idea that they need to do everything on their own. If this is your approach, you will be frustrated every time guaranteed. With high level automation systems and tried and true business principles taking your Business from good to great can be done with ease, It will just require the right mindset, toolset and skillset.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Just to preface this, I have come across many business owners to realize this is quite common including in my journey.

Essentially, when I first created my business and set the intention to serve the people I was meant to serve, I had the expectation my family would be my number 1 supporters. I expected them to buy, promote, and refer clients to me daily. When this unspoken expectation was not met, I felt let down, broken and unmotivated. Now that I have been able to grow as business coach, I realized that it is always great to be supported by family. However, your focus as a business owner should only be on the audience you serve.

Until you learn this lesson, you will be running in circles thinking you’re not growing because the lack of support in your family. When in reality, you’re not growing because you’re focused on the wrong things. FOCUS ON YOUR DREAM CUSTOMER.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

Back in 2021 I hosted my very first in person paid event. I had ZERO clue of what or how to set up this event. All that mattered is I was ready to serve and I had the will to learn. To make a long story short, Many of the speakers I booked for the event cancelled the week of the event, I had to scale down the event so that I could host the event at my house. Despite all the hardships/trouble I experienced, I committed to move forward with who we had. Note, the event was no completely free and all the money was refunded. The morning of the event, I tried pumping myself up but when I saw my girlfriend I completely broke down. Deep down I felt like a failure, a loser, worthless. (there’s a lesson in this!)

Overall, the event was great. I got great feedback from our audience. It was far from what I expected but I was happy that I did it. Some key lessons I learned is that your Ego will get in your way from serving your audience. That week leading up into the event I felt like cancelling the entire thing because it was not going to have the impact I imagined it would without all the speakers, and amazing venue. To say the least, 2 years later I am hosting an In person event for business owners and content creators in Cozumel Mexico. I’m a huge proponent of using your mistakes as a teacher. This time i’ve partnered up with a business partner who has his own following, and message but that synergies with my brand. To be resilient, you have to go through something, get back up and keep going. Be resilient! It will allow you to grow exponentially.
