Megía

Entrepreneur and mentor

Born in La Vall d'Uixó, Spain, in 1966, he learned his trade running IT for banks. He founded five companies, started again from nothing in Madrid, and today builds teams from Panama City alongside Claudia Martínez.

Where it starts

I did not go into Network Marketing to make money, but to become a confident, trustworthy person, with habits that would make me freer and more capable.

01 / Story

From La Vall d'Uixó
to Panama City.

What follows is his own account. The quotes come from his interview with WiduLife.

  1. 1966 La Vall d'Uixó

    I 1966 · La Vall d'Uixó

    A factory town

    He is born in La Vall d'Uixó, in Castellón, a town built by families who came from all over Spain to work in its shoe factories. His parents started with very little and reached a respectable position. Watching them, he understood the value of working for yourself.

    “I received a great deal of love from my parents, my siblings, my family and my friends.”

  2. 29 years old

    II Banking · Ibiza

    In charge at 29

    He starts out in IT management for banks. Branches, international transactions and exports depend on his work. In Ibiza he takes part in setting up a bank's data centre.

    “I learned not to be afraid of obstacles.”

  3. 5 companies

    III Entrepreneur

    Five companies

    Xanadú CB. Cafeterías Megía SL. American Germany Traders SL. Spain Networkers Team. International Networkers Team SL. Some went well and some did not.

    “From every one of my failures and successes, I came to understand the game of life.”

    IV Madrid

    Starting from zero

    He leaves everything behind to start a new life with Claudia Martínez. They arrive in Madrid with no money, no job, no car and no home.

    “Claudia taught me the value of faith, of working on yourself, and of emotional intelligence.”

    V SEN · 4Life

    Becoming teachable

    He meets Dr. Herminio Nevárez, founder of Social Economic Networkers (SEN), and adopts his way of working. Since then he has been building a team with Claudia as an Independent 4Life Distributor.

    “My small change was allowing myself to be teachable.”

    VI Today · Panama City

    Three fronts

    He lives in Panama City. He heads Megia Global Trading S.A., keeps training his team and backs clean energy projects.

    “I have passions enough for 100 lives.”

02 / Philosophy

Being trustworthy
rests on four points.

This is how he explains it when asked how to connect with another person.

  1. 1

    Be whole.

    Let what you think, say and do always line up.

  2. 2

    State your intentions.

    Be transparent.

  3. 3

    Keep training.

    Show people you are not alone, that there are people who nourish you.

  4. 4

    Reach the goals you set.

    Let them see you are not one more smooth talker but a tireless dreamer.

Systematic daily actions + The right habits = Duplication.

The best advice he was given on duplication, put by him in one line.

Strategy

“My great strategy as a businessman, in general, is diplomacy.”

Being able to recognise my own enormous shadows as a person, and laugh at them, lets me understand others in their smallness and in their greatness.

How much time should you spend prospecting?
“Your whole life.”
What makes a good presentation?
“The only thing that works is showing your humanity.”

Claudia Martínez

They build together.

Claudia Martínez is his wife and his business partner. They started from zero in Madrid and have worked as a couple ever since. At 4Life they share the rank of Gold.

“In Madrid we would walk along the Gran Vía, in love. And we would start over…”

A letter to his team

WiduLife asked what he would write if he had to leave his business for a year and could leave only one letter. This was his answer.

We learned to dream again. We learned a written system so we could follow a plan of action. We learned to serve others, and to lean on the team as well.

Keep giving your best every day, for yourself, for your family and for humanity.

You matter, and we all believe in you. Do not let yourself down. You do not deserve that.

There is no time to go backwards.

Always forward.

Pepe
