Hello everyone,


It’s been over ten years since I discovered @MJ DeMarco books. Like many, I started with The Millionaire Fastlane . But back then, I didn’t grasp the full impact of what I was reading. I was still in a marriage I wasn’t happy in, and in truth, I was a boy reading like a tourist with no real intention of visiting the city on the map.

My journey since then has been long, painful ,emotionally more than anything , but also transformative. What once felt like tragedy, I now see as the foundation of who I am becoming. Over the years, I explored deeply: I studied acupuncture, well-being, and naturopathy, and ran a small private practice with a handful of weekly clients. It gave me experience, but financially I still had to take other jobs to survive.

Everything shifted during a tough period (my divorce, my father's death) a storm in my life. That’s when I watched a video by a well-known French life coach, and something clicked. I decided to invest in a coaching school using money my parents had given me, money I didn’t appreciate back then the way I do now. Life has a way of teaching us, and one of my biggest lessons came when I couldn’t see my daughter for a long time, despite my legal rights as a father.

That pain produced purpose. I started writing a book, not to become a best-seller, but to share my experience and coaching perspective. And after finishing coaching school, I committed to becoming a coach and building my own brand.

In this journey of self-discovery, I also found wellbeing in cold bath. I’m currently developing group cold bath therapy mixed with coaching, as part of a more immersive, transformative offer. I want to provide not just digital products, but also meaningfull services and experiences that help people reconnect with their strength and clarity. I have seen the transformation on my mostly.

I’ve created my brand identity, built my website, designed my logo, and launched my first two coaching products. And by launched, I mean they’re ready, the content is done, the systems are in place, but I haven’t made sales yet.

Right now, I work as a receptionist in a hotel in Monaco and live in Italy. The salary is better than in France or Italy, which helps me stay afloat while I build my business. But make no mistake, my goal is to fully transition into coaching.

I’m using tools from NLP, psychology, and personal experience. I’m highly productive and full of ideas, that’s my nature, but sometimes I get pulled in too many directions. That’s why I’ve developed a strong organizational system with lists, structure, and journaling to help me stay focused.

The biggest challenge? Getting clients ready to pay! I’ve got content, followers, and products but haven’t cracked the code on turning visibility into income. That’s what I’m here for: clarity, direction and strategy, a ligne directrice.

What I’ve come to realize, though, is this: Despite my sometimes lack of motivation and short period of times where I am thinking of quitting, I am not capable of doing it! I cannot commit to quit!! It's not in me. No matter how hard it gets, I push forward. I’ve faced loss, disappointment, and fear, but I keep going. And I am not complaning, this refusal to give up has become my greatest strength.

That’s why I’ve joined Faslane Forum as a premium member. Because when you invest in something, it becomes more real. I’m here to take things to the next level. To finally put out to the world what I have created. And who is the best person to ask advice from? Someone who already did it! YOU.

So thank YOU for having me here. I look forward to learning from all of you and sharing this journey.

Christian
