My parents started their lives together with very little as teachers, but with sheer hard work and re-training they changed careers and my dad became a very successful doctor. As well, my Mother got into property development. And I'm sure it was growing up in this environment that has shaped my own work ethic, and my love for building. I saw civil engineering as a way of improving lives; transport connections, power supplies and buildings all make a massive contribution, and I wanted to be able to improve people's modus vivendi.  After a few years in the construction industry, I left Colombia and decided to emigrate to the UK and start off by learning English. In 2003, I started doing an MSc at Surrey University, and I was determined to achieve this qualification whilst supporting myself. I negotiated stage payments of the course fees, and I worked full-time doing unskilled jobs, such as cleaning toilets and pizza delivery to fund it all.  With perseverance and my new qualification, I set out to find myself a job. I was so conscious that UK nationals would be far higher up any pecking order, and then Europeans, leaving the “kid” from South America at the bottom of the pile. I knew I had to do something special, so I sent out 30,000 CVs! And it worked, the result was 5 job offers. My career got me working on some great projects including: -The London Underground, -Construction of the Walbrook and other iconic structures in central London worth £1.5 billion -EDF new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C, worth £20billion I achieved Chartered Civil Engineering status and was highly ranked whilst working in the corporate environment and thought I was absolutely in the right place. This was until I read the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. This set my head spinning, and I knew I had to have my own business. And then I met Liam. This cheeky Essex lad came knocking on my door. I'm glad to be able to say he wasn't wearing a shell suit. There was something infectious about his energy and purpose. And as you might say, the rest is history... I love Assets for Life. It ticks all my boxes- I can share and help other people, I can improve lives through building and development, and I have the wealth to have choice and freedom, which means I can give my best to my family too.   CONTACT METHOD Instagram@jaymunozafl  https://m.facebook.com/Jay.Munoz.AFL/   ABOUT THE HOST Gavin Preston Gavin is an inspirational Speaker, Business Strategist, Business Growth Mentor, Trainer and high-performance Coach.  He works with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs and has a strong track record in creating creative strategies to accelerate the growth of their business.
