My Story

I wasn't always disciplined. I wasn't always focused. And I definitely wasn't always the person you see today.

I was born in Colombia, where I grew up as the kid who just wanted to make people laugh. I didn't care about school, I didn't take life seriously, and most days my only goal was to be liked. At the same time, I always had something different in me — an entrepreneurial spirit. I would sell candy at school, look for ways to create something out of nothing, and even once set up a small "store" in my neighborhood using things from my house.

I had energy. I had creativity. But I lacked direction.

I still remember seeing my mom cry because of my grades. That moment stayed with me.

I moved to the United States at 12 years old, leaving behind everything I knew — my friends, my environment, and my father, who stayed in Colombia and accepted it out of love.

In a new country, with a new language, starting from zero… I had a choice. No one knew who I was before. So I decided to become someone different.

The first months were hard. I went from having many friends to feeling alone. I struggled with English, confidence, and identity. But instead of going back to who I used to be, I made a decision: I was going to take this opportunity seriously.

That decision turned into discipline.

Over time, I rebuilt myself — academically, mentally, and professionally. I went from not caring about school to graduating with high honors, maintaining a high GPA, and working multiple jobs while studying.

I've worked in different environments that shaped me: from fast-paced restaurants where I learned discipline and teamwork, to retail where I developed customer relationships, to an IT service desk where I learned problem-solving and communication, to working in a chiropractic clinic managing operations and improving efficiency, to sales and marketing roles where I learned how to communicate value and build relationships.

Each role taught me something. But more importantly — I was always learning beyond the job. My entrepreneurial mindset never left. I built my own service business from the ground up, learning how to sell, communicate, and earn trust in real life.

I go after them. I've explored creative projects like combining psychology and content, and I've actively put myself in environments that challenge me to grow. I've attended professional development experiences in places like Nashville, represented my university in Puerto Rico, and participated in startup environments where ideas are built under pressure.

But growth didn't come easy. I've failed. A lot. I've lost money making bad decisions. I've gone through setbacks — from losing my first car in an accident, to making financial mistakes and learning the hard way how to think long-term.

I've been hurt in relationships. I've made mistakes. I've held back when I should've spoken, and I've realized too late what I was capable of giving. But every time something went wrong… I didn't stay there. I learned.

As a kid, I loved acting. I loved being on stage, expressing myself, and making people feel something. For a while, I thought that path was gone. But I realized something: I never lost that part of me. I just evolved it.

Today, that same passion shows up in a different way. Through my voice. Through my message. Through JorgeMindset.

JorgeMindset isn't just content. It's a reflection of everything I've lived. It's about discipline, emotional control, growth, and becoming the person you know you can be — not through motivation alone, but through awareness and action.

I don't speak from theory. I speak from experience. From being the kid with no direction… to becoming someone intentional. From making excuses… to taking responsibility. From wanting validation… to building value.

I'm not perfect. I'm still learning. Still growing. Still becoming. But one thing is certain: When I decide to change, I commit.
