My Story

Hi, I am very happy to welcome you to my personal website.

I’d like to tell you a short and very private story about myself – who I am, what I do and something about my drive.

 

My life cannot be summarised in a standard CV. Rather, it took place in four phases.

Phase 1: Passivity
Phase 2: Upset
Phase 3: Everything is possible
Phase 4: Create

Upon closer examination, I noticed that each change in these four phases fits the cash flow quadrant quite precisely:

1. worker
2. self-employed
3. entrepreneur
4. investor

The feedback from the readers got better and better and the applause louder and louder.

Worker

Just a few years ago, my life consisted of passive participation in this.

 

I was able to live out most of my childhood curiosity in the profession of cooking.

 

As a well-known chef once said about the profession: “Cooking is like giving a rock concert – because shortly afterwards you either get applauded or booed”.

 

I enjoyed the applause more, although there were boos too….

 

In this profession I also discovered my creative side, which is still with me today.

 

With the advent of the Internet 2.0 around 2008, I tried to satisfy my curiosity in this place. Initially as a consumer, then gradually as a creator and entrepreneur.

 

I was fascinated by it! The internet appeared to me as a place of unlimited possibilities.

Self-employed

The first entrepreneurial activity began in 2013 during my studies, when a friend at the time explained to me the possibilities of link sales. Since I didn’t own any websites, I became a reseller and earned my first money that way. I didn’t see a long-term perspective in this activity and changed my focus.

 

I invested all my money in smartphone spare parts, which I sold on Ebay. After a very short time, I became a power seller. Amazon FBA and my own online shop followed shortly after. Everything was up and running.

 

And that was it again: “the feeling of unlimited possibilities”.

 

The economic success came relatively quickly, the only thing I was missing was the applause.

 

At that time, the only applause came from a small website that I created as a sideline as a buyer’s guide for beamers. The website visitors liked what I wrote and helped them to make a better buying decision. And so I decided to change my focus again.

 

I shut down Amazon and Ebay and started to create my own websites with buying guides.

Entrepreneur

Curiosity, creativity and diligence helped me to create some well-visited websites that gave me personally exactly what I was looking for: “to deliver added value”.

 

Over time, I was able to monetise the websites better and better, so that the conversions increased as a positive side effect.

 

The feedback from the readers got better and better and the applause louder and louder.

 

Investor

It wasn’t long before I was approached by friends and family about acquiring cash-flowing websites for them so that they too could enjoy passive income.

 

Unfortunately, I dismissed this idea as I considered the risk of failure to be unmanageable.

 

In 2020, the time had come. I took out a small interest-bearing loan from friends and bought some online projects. I left the responsibility and control with me, so the risk for the investors was close to zero. Everything went perfectly and I became an investor, as I no longer created websites myself, but expanded my portfolio through acquisitions.

 

In 2021, I decided to leave Germany and chose Cyprus as my new home, as Cyprus offers me significantly more opportunities.

 

Therefore, in 2021 I liquidated my entire portfolio, sold all online projects and paid off the investors.

 

Since 2022, I have been living and working with my family in Cyprus, where I build and buy websites for our online publishing company “MLK Digital” together with my team.

 

Furthermore, with “MLK Capital” I offer “Friends & Family” investors the opportunity to participate in profitable online projects and generate interest income.

 

How do we start?
