Have you ever looked in the mirror and said to yourself: – “I thought I would be farther ahead already”

If you have. You are not alone.

Miguel Abascal was an executive of a famous coffee distribution and franchises company in Mexico. He had certifications, a Master’s degree, and significant experience as a leader of a large team leading large projects.

Nonetheless, he couldn’t find a job in his profession and for his first 5 yrs in Canada he worked in survival jobs while crashing his confidence. He refers to these years as the years of nightmares and constantly losing his sleep not knowing if he would make ends meet.

Thanks to great mentors and coaches he found his way and now he is living his Canadian Dream. Since then he has been helping hundreds of people to find their ideal job faster.

He discovered his passion for helping people at a networking event after talking with a few newcomers who told him “I have learned more in this 20 min than in my last 2 yrs. in Canada”.

We obsess with providing value and sharing key insights with our members. To get a better job you need to master these 3 M’s:

    Your Mindset

Join us and learn how to find your ideal job faster

It’s time to retire your survival job and start living your Canadian Dream.
