What I Do?

I transform their processes with a comprehensive digital platform that facilitates the management of all aspects of the business—metrics, sales, accounting, and human resources—accessible from one place, at their fingertips 24/7, 365 days a year.


2) BIOGRAPHICAL PROFILE




  • NATIONALITY: British (Scottish)
  • MARITAL STATUS: Wife Liliana)
  • CHILDREN: 3 (step-children)
  • PETS:  A dog (Milo) and a cat (Sky)
  • HOBBIES: Hiking, traveling, reading, writing, play the drums


PLACES I HAVE LIVED : 


My father is Scottish and my mother is American. I was born in Panaga, Brunei and when I was 4 years old, we moved to Port-Gentil, Gabon. We had to evacuate Gabon for a year due to the Gabonese revolution and lived with my grandparents in New Orleans, USA.


At the age of 8, we moved to Muscat, Oman where we lived for 4 years. During that time, when I was 10, I went to a boarding school in Scotland. When I was 12 years old, my parents moved to the Netherlands for three years and then returned to Muscat, Oman.


I lived at my boarding school for 7 years and when I was 19 years old, I moved to Glasgow, Scotland where I studied at Strathclyde University. In 2006, when I was 23 years old, I left Scotland and came to Mexico. Initially, I lived in Guadalajara for 3 months, then Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo for 1 year and have been in Puerto Vallarta since 2007.



3) ABILITIES


 PERSPECTIVE

One of my strengths is the ability to see situations from multiple perspectives, which allows me to offer a variety of solutions to my clients. This skill has proven invaluable in my work.

 PATIENCE

I have always been a patient person. Since the year 2000, I have been working in the field of education, where I have had the opportunity to cultivate and perfect this patience. Moreover, as I mentioned earlier regarding perspective, this has allowed me to empathize with my students and thoroughly understand the difficulties they face. Learning complex or difficult concepts can be frustrating, and if I insist on remaining rigid in my logic, I will fail as an educator. The true role of a teacher is to guide their students to overcome obstacles and achieve a deep understanding.

 TEACHING

I consider myself an excellent teacher and look for fun ways, such as metaphors, analogies, and games, to guide my students on their learning journey. Currently, I am focused on training work teams in the use of digital platforms, which requires applying the tools I have acquired over a career spanning more than 20 years. My goal is to help my clients quickly overcome resistance to change and adopt new technologies in their businesses.

OTHER ABILITES

  • Speak English and Spanish.
  • 20 years of experience: Expert in teaching techniques and learning proceses.
  • Language teacher trainer.
  • Develop learning materials.
  • Develop Curriculumns.

4) OBJECTIVES


 100 DIGITALIZATIONS

Generate $1,500,000.00 from BNI in a period of 12 months (100 Digitalizations).

 WHITE LABEL FRANCHISE

I offer my language school as a white-label franchise. (A "white label" refers to a product or service produced by one company that other companies purchase and sell under their own brand.)

 EXPAND

At Lucion, I plan to add accounting, legal, and marketing areas to offer a more comprehensive solution to my clients. This way, we can achieve a complete 360-degree implementation that covers all essential aspects for the success of their businesses.

 AUTO-SUFFICIENT

My goal is to document and standardize processes to facilitate the opening of more online businesses that are self-systematized.


5) RELATIONS


 Grupo Emprendedor Moctenson



I belong to a civil association dedicated to secondary and higher education, with a network of schools distributed throughout Mexico.

 BNI



As the Executive Director of BNI, I have direct access to and have gained the trust of other directors, which allows me to facilitate valuable contacts for my clients and members in my region.

 Lingua Franca / Axon Nova

I started my first business in Mexico facing the considerable challenge of not speaking Spanish. However, thanks to my determination and quick learning ability, I managed to overcome the obstacles and set up a company that is still operating successfully today.

 Co-Owner of the BNI Jalisco Oeste region.



As a BNI franchisee, together with my partners Dora Luz Luna de Dios and David Sierra, we acquired a region that was in decline. We have completely transformed the dynamics of this area, turning it into a growing region, full of good vibes and brimming with opportunities.

 OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS

  • I have a BA Hons in English Literature from Strathclyde University.
  • I played the drums in a rock band. (I have been playing the drums since I was 10 years old.)
  • I hold an official certification and license as a language teacher.
  • I have certified more than 500 people with official certifications. I have helped approximately 5000 people with the English language since 2008 in Puerto Vallarta.
  • I directed a play in university theater (and acted in other theater plays).
  • I have traveled to 24 countries.

7) INTERESTS

 Technology



I have always been somewhat of a nerd; I am fascinated by topics related to technology, human advancement, science fiction, and the possibilities of artificial intelligence. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring what these innovations mean for human creativity.

 Music



I have been playing the drums since I was 10 years old. I won't say I'm the best, but I really enjoy doing it; it's an excellent way to relieve stress. I love playing rock, but for some reason, funk has been my specialty. 

I have played in live bands, but nowadays, it's not something that particularly appeals to me.

OTHER INTERESTS

  • Discussing philosophy
  • Reading and writing
  • Hiking
  • Traveling and exploring other places and cultures
  • Fine dining and wine
  • Painting and drawing

8) CLIENTS & SUCCESS STORIES

To give you a better idea of the types of clients we can assist, here are some examples of our current clients, the specific challenges they faced, and how we have supported them.


9) IDEAL REFERENCE


 SUPPLIERS THAT HAVE FAILED YOU


If you have stopped working with suppliers due to late deliveries or significant errors, allow me to offer you a solution. I can use those cases as a reference to demonstrate the importance of having robust internal controls. By improving the efficiency of your processes and systems, I will help you avoid these situations from recurring, thus optimizing your operation and reducing future risks.

 LISTEN FOR...


  • Loss of Customers:
    Entrepreneurs face the problem of salespeople leaving the company, taking clients with them, affecting the continuity and stability of the business.
  • Communication Issues:
    Many business owners report organizational chaos due to failures in internal communication, complicating daily operations.
  • Lack of Rest: 
    Some entrepreneurs haven't taken vacations in years because they feel they can't leave the company alone, which affects their personal and professional well-being.
  • Errors in Pricing:
    Mistakes in selling products or services at too low a price have resulted in significant losses, negatively impacting the company's finances.

 LOOK FOR...


  • Entrepreneurs who Use Excel for Business Management:

These entrepreneurs are ideal candidates for our services, as they often use Excel for quoting, accounting, cash flow management, and financial projections. These activities are essential but can be significantly enhanced with more integrated and automated solutions that we offer.


10) NON IDEAL REFERENCES


  • People who don't distinguish between investing in their company and spending on their company.
  • People who only seek a digital system without opting for the consultancy and advisory services we offer. Based on our experience, digitization without proper advisory support is not effective.
