Time to create your own business

Tomorrow’s financial freedom is in your hands.

My name is Marcela Urteaga, and I’m a recovering workaholic. I work as an organizational consultant and I help people and organizations share what they love with the people they serve.

Over the last 18 years, my life has gone through major changes. I lost my job at one of the largest companies in Mexico, I struggled for a few months and reinvented myself twice in the process. Then I quit my job to come to Montreal and I had to reinvent myself again. Then five years later, I lost my job once again, and this time was unemployed for over two years. I had to reinvent myself again and as a result of that, I ended up in Toronto, doing something different once again.

Having a job always felt safer than doing my own things, but after losing my job twice, I realized I did not have job security.  

Over those two years that I was looking for a job, I had to manage multiple priorities: taking care of my family, applying to every single job that I thought I had a chance to get, reinventing myself, developing new skills, finding a new career, putting myself out there as a consultant, and most importantly, getting myself out of depression. Losing your job is tough at any time, but as an immigrant who thought that things were finally getting better, it was a hard blow.

Something that made a difference in my life was to learn about digital content and online businesses, and I was able to emerge as a digital strategist and social media manager. I did this for a couple of years (although that new role didn’t have much to do with my career). Later, when I got a job in my field again, I decided to create a digital academy and help other people who were struggling with these challenging times. I called this community Kaironauts, the navigators of these uncertain times that want to succeed.  I help Kaironauts to create an additional source of income, preferably a passive source, or one that requires a minimum of time. I understand intimately people’s fears about starting from scratch, about getting into a new career, and about losing a job.

Time is our most precious resource, and that’s why many people struggle to build a business like this. I currently work as a consultant and coach, but I only dedicate about 3 hours a week (half of the time goes into promotion and the other half to the creation of new content, such as courses, workbooks, templates, and more) to maintain and grow my community of Kaironauts.

To create a passive income we have to invest time and effort, and we may be discouraged as it is not an easy process. It took me at least a year to realize that I had to create something that would allow me to better invest my time and find what systems I needed to have in place to automate my process. My husband has used the same principles that have allowed me to create over 25 courses and products in a couple of years, and we are delighted with the results.

If you want to discover how to start selling digital content and create an additional income, let me share what I have learned in this free workshop.
