The island of Puerto Rico is a beautiful destination for anyone because of the amazing sites, views, and beaches. Yes, a lot of it is gorgeous for the most part but when you look deeper into the communities you will see the economic problems it faces. The wealthy have the essentials like water, food, and power and the rest of the people don’t have any of that. Every day it becomes harder and harder to earn any sort of income in Puerto Rico. This sort of problem is the type that needs to be resolved fast.

When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017, many people went to the island to help the state in their time of need. Amongst those people who lent a helping hand was Tony Delgado. Delgado flew to Puerto Rico so he could help people rebuild their homes and help out any way he could. The outcome of the Hurricane was terrible and many people lost their homes and many people even lost their lives.

While Delgado was there helping, he began to notice the economical problems that were going on. He decided to take on something that was bigger than him so he eventually moved to Puerto Rico full time so he could help. Delgado knew more people needed to make more money so he thought what better way to help than to teach people about entrepreneurship and how to make money online. He knew that if he could teach people valuable skills that would help earn them money that more people would have the essentials like water, food, and power.

He educated thousands of people through his Disrupt Program where not only Delgado but other mentors as well help teach entrepreneurship. Now more people than ever are making money and starting businesses in Puerto Rico which is boosting its economy. Delgado also wanted to help other people and brands throughout the world so he created his very own Marketing Agency. Delgado and his team are able to help grow social media accounts, help out with business launches, help to launch a course, and overall generate more income with his team’s marketing skills.

It seems as if Delgado created a master plan that works perfectly to help out Puerto Rico’s economic problem and it brings in new visitors every single year. He has boosted Puerto Rico’s popularity and economy. With further help from his Disrupt Magazine Publication where he shares the story of different entrepreneurs, he continues to spread the word about Puerto Rico, all of its beauty and the growing startup ecosystem on the island.

Puerto Rico is slowly becoming a hot spot for entrepreneurs around the world because of the beautiful views, island lifestyle, and Disrupt Week is a road map for anyone who wants to get a crash course about the ecosystem. Delgado is on a mission to show the world that Puerto Rico is perfect for digital nomads and that is why he hosts Disrupt events every year in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he gathers incredible speakers throughout the world to share knowledge and give out valuable information to the people who attend. It has been called the 10X of Puerto Rico and the SXSW of the Carribean. Thousands of entrepreneurs attend the event in Puerto Rico because there are so many opportunities at the event to connect and network with the top influencers in the world in a tropical paradise.

Sasha Ray has made quite a bit out of her time on this earth. Singer, model, restaurateur, and entrepreneur Sasha Ray has worked her way from Ukraine to Dubai, founding a series of successful businesses and brands along the way. Now based in the city of Dubai, Sasha hopes to leverage her influencer status while revamping successful ventures in music and hospitality.

Born Alexandra Vovchenko, Sasha changed her name soon after entering the public eye as a singer. “I created my public name when I started my singing career,” she explains. “Sasha is a short version of my name Alexandra, while Ray stands for a ray of light or sunshine, describing my personality.” Yet Sasha’s business success is what has really landed her in the spotlight.

Sasha’s journey began soon after she finished her first Master’s degree in international business in Kiev National Economic University. Discovering her passion in hospitality, the young entrepreneur decided to pursue a second Master’s degree and traveled abroad to study luxury management at the EM Lyon Business school and at the Institute Paul Bocuse and Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne. She also completed a semester in China East Normal University, before pursuing internships in some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, including the Burj Al Arab and London’s Berkeley Hotel.

It was during one of these internships that Sasha’s career as a singer really took off. “In between my internships, one of my university mates came to me with a proposal to try my luck in the music industry. She had been working with one of the best Ukrainian music producers out there and at that time she was searching for new projects. We recorded my first single «Боль- Любовь» (Love is Pain) and it was a hit!” When pushed further on her music career, Sasha admits that it had always been a dream of hers growing up. “Deep inside I had always wanted to try myself in show business. Even being a little girl I remember how I was begging my parents to buy me a piano so I could learn how to play it. Later on I’ve never missed a chance to take part in different TV shows and shootings. Since releasing my first single, music has always been a part of my life, no matter how busy I was with my other projects. It has always helped me to feed my soul.”

Now, however, Sasha’s career has expanded far past her early dreams of being a singer. Soon after completing her second Master’s degree in hospitality, Sasha moved to Dubai to pursue her passion for business full-time. It was in Dubai that Sasha created her first restaurant brand, Vesna (which translates to “Spring”). The restaurant blended Ukrainian, Russian, and contemporary themes, offering a full service of amazing food and entertainment. Catering to travelers from the former Soviet bloc and locals alike, Vesna was one of the first restaurants in Dubai with karaoke.

Success came at a price, however, and the economic crisis soon proved that no business venture can exist without its own set of challenges. “After some time, the financial crisis hit the markets in Russian and Ukrainian and we lost quite a few customers,” Sasha recounts. “I never lost faith, however. We soon rebranded the restaurant and that’s when my brand ‘Maison Rouge’ came to life. This time the concept was very international and it was the first place to offer cabaret shows in Dubai.”

Maison Rouge proved to be a huge success and has since brought Sasha a huge amount of influence and followers in the Russian and Ukrainian media, as well as internationally. Sasha now considers herself a full-time influencer, as well as entrepreneur. Being involved in such a highly social business helped her build up a social media following of at least 1.5 million and she now works with some of the top brands worldwide and is often invited to highly rated events.

Leveraging that level of influence with her business success has not all proved smooth sailing, however. When asked about her greatest fears, Sasha’s reply is simple: “I’ve chosen to be fearless in my life. Fear is the biggest obstacle in being successful not only in business but in life in general. Yes I’ve had many fears in my life, but every time I went towards my fears I realized a simple thing… That it was all just in my head.”

Sasha keeps her future plans largely shrouded in mystery, although she has alluded to “future pursuits in the fashion industry, as well as new music releases and other developments within my music project.” For the time being, however, Ukraine’s woman in Dubai offers this bit of advice to hopeful entrepreneurs: “Be curious! Learn as much as you can, talk to people, meet new people, build right connections. If you are willing to build partnerships for your business you are willing to succeed!” Follow Sasha on Instagram, visit her YouTube channel or her website at SashaRay.com Read The Original Story And Many More At Disrupt Magazine: https://www.disruptmagazine.com/who-is-sasha-ray-the-ukrainian-entrepreneur-and-influencer-shares-her-secrets-to-success/

Joshua Crisp Is A Resilient Self-Made Millionaire Who Shares How He Achieved Financial Freedom & Location Independence

Joshua Crisp is an Amazon expert and seller, as well as a real estate investor. He also has an accomplished online education company and a software company. But he wasn’t always the figure of success that he is today! He started out as a high school dropout making minimum wage of $7.25 an hour hand sorting through trash. With hard work and a lot of perseverance, Joshua was able to work his way up to 7 figures through his Amazon business and reinvesting back into real estate. Because he always knew there was a better life for himself out there, Joshua strived toward it. His mentor at the time pointed him toward Amazon, which he saw as the next big thing. From there, Joshua focused his efforts, and luckily, he was right. After his first three products failed, his fourth one was a big success and changed his life.

“From no highschool diploma, degree, credit or money working a minimum wage job hand-sorting through trash, I was able to become a self made millionaire before the age of 30.” Explains Joshua.

Motivated by his family and wanting to provide a better life for them, Joshua was inspired to start his business. He was then further inspired to move into his current industry as he remembered where he was and knew that information could change many peoples’ lives.

“Remembering where I was and knowing how the information can change others lives is what inspired me to get into this business.” Joshua recounts.

Joshua now teaches thousands of students how he was able to become so successful. His 7 figure blueprint shows students the exact step by step strategy that Joshua followed to become a millionaire before he turned 30, allowing them to do the same. Crips helps others start their business, applying his blueprint to success in others’ lives. When starting a new business, Joshua knows how important your mindset is to working toward success.

“The enemy is in the inner me and if it’s meant to be then it’s up to me. Mindset is more important than the mechanics. People don’t give up because they don’t “know” what to do, they give up because they don’t know when it will work!” Joshua says.

For his students that he helps start their own business, Joshua’s biggest advice is patience. The goal for his students and those he helps is to get them to a place of success. For Joshua, this means financial freedom & location independence. Financial freedom, in turn, means doing what he wants.

“Patience, persistence, resilience, don’t give up and set realistic expectations! To me, financial freedom is doing what you want, when you want, with whom you want.” Joshua outlines.

When asked about the most difficult challenges to starting a new business, Joshua says the biggest challenge is not giving up. He understands that in addition to the mindset when you start, tenacity and determination are essential to anyone who wants financial success. While this can certainly be difficult, Joshua is a great example of the success that can come to those who work for it.

“Not giving up, the true failure is not starting or giving up too soon is the biggest obstacle for me.” Joshua States.

From his humble beginnings, Joshua has now built three world-recognized brands that have made millions of dollars in revenue each year. He has reinvested his profits to commercial and residential real estate and has helped over 2000 people get started or scale their Amazon business. From overcoming the big obstacles of being a high school drop out, a minority, and a felon, Joshua remained relentless, passionate, and will always give the shirt off his back to work toward success. He firmly believes that

“Amazon will make you rich, Real Estate will keep you rich. Your current situation is not your final destination!” Joshua exclaims.
