An Inspiring Journey From Waiting Tables...

Matt Aitchison
About this episode

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an amazing guest, Juan Ruan who talks about his journey of entrepreneurship, the hurdles of being a migrator who can’t speak English, early lessons from the parent’s sacrifices, the shortest way to becoming financially free, and building a real legacy in life!

Juan Ruan is a father, husband, an entrepreneur for 11 years, event coordinator, real estate investor, President at Kinetic Real Estate, and Regional Director at Dynasty Institute, licensed to provide broker essential services with brand that focuses in optimizing small/medium sized business's monthly expenditures in telecommunications, payment processing and energy services.

From a family of migrants, Juan had witnessed the huge financial adversity. He saw how his parents struggled and sacrificed in order to thrive in different environments through their small restaurant. This developed the hunger within himself to not be comfortable and settle for less. Similarly, adaptability to figure out a way to fit in any situation. He started in the network marketing space transitioning to AirBnB and to investing in real estate.

Juan not just worked hard but wisely in order to walk a different path in life. Now, he is an owner of a business that is continually growing and thriving. But he is not just working for sales but advocating and helping people understand the value of anything to make their life better. Being a servant leader, he values relationships more than anything else that makes an impact on the people around and unlock many opportunities for him.
