Today we’d like to introduce you to Martin Berrios.
Hi Martin, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
While most of my professional journey has been in marketing/branding I always had an innate talent for writing. In or around 2004, I started freelancing for various music publications which led me to being a Music Editor for a reputable website years later. Due to some mismanagement by senior leadership the company had to lay off their entire editorial staff. That taught me a valuable lesson to seek ownership.
In 2010 I launched www.flawlesscrowns.com; a gentleman’s lifestyle destination dedicated to celebrating the king in all of us. Flawless Crowns speaks to the modern male who shares a goal in excellence and can appreciate quality throughout all sectors of “living the good life”. I didn’t know anything about website design, plugins, SEO, etc. It wasn’t always easy nor pretty but I learned along the way which taught me an entirely new set of skills.
In 2019 I launched my own marketing agency; Flawless Crowns Group, Starting my own boutique service firm was never a goal of mine because I never saw myself in such a role or capacity. Ironically one of my associates came to me and told me he needed my assistance with his marketing. While I was reluctant to pursue the opportunity, I started working with him and things took off immediately. I now have a staff and a roster of clients. That taught me to always keep an open mind when others may see something you do not see in yourself.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Success is rarely a linear journey – you always have to pivot accordingly. Personally, I have learned that while following your passion(s) might be the most popular response to entrepreneurship; I advocate that everyone’s goal set around their God-given gifts. These are talents that you can perform at a very high level instinctively. When I was younger, I followed my passions but I soon found out that passions change. Thus I had to start over a couple of times until I landed on my gift. I don’t regret my journey but I always try to encourage others to avoid that mistake. Time is the ultimate luxury as you can’t get it back.
