Many people continue to drag themselves to their workplace without realizing the fact that all that is needed is a change and that they have to follow their dreams. While their passion may be in doing some other thing, they are slogging at work only to put food on the table. Making a successful career can be challenging but sticking to the one that you hate can be a burden for life. Pablo Valero was in a similar situation when he decided to make a change. With a degree in Commerce and International Business, he eventually landed up in an office job but that could not satiate the wanderer in him.  Pablo Valero grew up in Mexico and never had the chance to travel to any place because he was stuck in his office job. He did not get the chance to travel for business purposes and that led to boredom. He decided to get out of his comfort zone and explore his options to live the life of his dreams. This made him join the Royal Caribbean International, the second-largest cruise line in the world. He traveled around the world and had the opportunity to meet a lot of people from all over the world. He was able to explore different cultures and expose himself to new influences. Pablo Valero spent his days enjoying extreme sports like indoor skydiving, surfing, and rock climbing.  Pablo had to return back home after the global pandemic. He had to build a new revenue stream for himself and made use of the opportunity to launch a social media marketing agency. He was qualified in social media marketing because when he was in his office job, he took the time to add more skills by getting certifications. He got certified in Social Media Marketing from Facebook. He also got certified as a Data Scientist and Data Analyst by IBM. With this experience, Pablo launched Valero Media, a social media marketing agency to help clients achieve their marketing and branding goals in social media. The connections he made while he was on board the cruise ship were essential to him in his new role as the owner of a social media marketing agency. Within a year, he was able to grow his agency and generate over 7 figures in revenue from just management. Pablo is on a mission to expand his agency and gain more clients who are looking for help with social media marketing and management. Pablo has been able to make use of all the opportunities that came his way to become successful. To him, traveling has helped him tremendously and made him grow as a person. He wants to continue his travels and is passionate about it since the lockdown restrictions are easing around the world. He is flying to Cyprus in July to continue his voyage onboard the luxury cruise, "Harmony of the Seas”. According to him, passion can last a lifetime and you have to make the most of the opportunities in life.
