Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Omar Alonzo. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Omar , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We love asking folks what they would do differently if they were starting today – how they would speed up the process, etc. We’d love to hear how you would set everything up if you were to start from step 1 today
In my life, I have started from scratch in various periods. People often believe that starting a business is an easy path to success, but in reality, it comes with numerous challenges and requires an unwavering commitment to your life purpose.
I once heard a prominent businessman say, “A large percentage of businesses break down within 5 years.” This quote deeply resonated with me because it holds the absolute truth.
Starting a business is just the beginning; the real journey involves continuous improvement and adaptation over time. You must be prepared to adjust your course multiple times because change and storms are the only certainties we have.
Your passion, purpose, and beliefs will serve as your guiding light, regardless of the financial circumstances you encounter. It is how you navigate and stays true to your purpose that will keep you going through any adversity in life.
Above all, when starting out, it is crucial to develop a resilient mindset that will accompany you on your journey, empowering you to make a positive impact and contribute to a better world through your project.
Omar , 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?

How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
This question is truly interesting, and I would love to share two anecdotes that highlight some beginnings in my entrepreneurial journey.
During my first venture in my home country, I faced a unique challenge. To cover the expenses of opening my business, I had to sell my computer. It may sound crazy, but my determination and unwavering focus on my goals kept me going. While my business was in the process of launching, I worked tirelessly to acquire another tool for work. Additionally, I was studying during this period, balancing multiple responsibilities in pursuit of my dreams. It was a challenging time, but my perseverance prevailed.
Inthis new chapter of my journey in United States, I found myself in a difficult situation in my home country. I had to sell everything I owned to come to this new country. With sheer determination and a lot of effort, I arrived with only $400 in my pocket. Fast forward to the present, my business, which has been operating for less than a year, now collaborates with renowned brands. I am grateful to have built a team of 10 talented creatives who share my vision, making both our clients.
I reiterate, it is not solely about your financial situation; it is about your focus on your targets. Let’s go! Together, we can achieve greatness for make this world better.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
I don’t have any financial co-founder or business partner, but I am fortunate to have the unwavering support of my mom throughout my entrepreneurial journey. Her constant encouragement and belief in me keep my mind focused and resilient. She plays a vital role in providing me with the fuel and motivation to persevere.
I am deeply committed to my life’s purpose, my family, my team, and channeling my energy into making a positive impact through my creations.
