Focusing on the end goal and picturing the best possible future is something Mike Ogbebor, CEO of Newline Investors Capital, encourages people to do to succeed. Going with all odds stacked against him, a then 21-year-old Mike decided to quit his mundane nine-to-five job and become an entrepreneur. He was determined to create a more comfortable life for himself and his family, generating enough income for generations to come.

As a millennial, Mike wishes to help other millennials realize that the world has more to offer than a nine-to-five job they don’t love or take pride in. Thanks to his charismatic personality and compelling argument, Mike has inspired thousands of people to listen to his advice and leave their jobs to instead create their own six-figure incomes. A goal he has is to eventually help 20 individuals earn one million dollars each by the year 2022.

As a successful marketing strategist, it’s clear Mike may very well complete his wish. 

Back when he first began his entrepreneurial journey, a mentor encouraged young Mike to enter the business industry, telling him that investing in land was a goldmine that was sure to generate profit. Taking this advice proved to be the correct decision. Flash forward to now, and Mike has become the founder and partner of multiple clinics and restaurants in and around the Houston area.

Having mentors to act as guides through the industry is essential, and they offer newcomers and up-and-comers someone they can rely on. Creating a network of those with the same drive and focus is an instrumental step to starting a successful business. Teamwork inspires strong ideas that can prove useful to the company.

Mike’s portfolio is quite impressive. As well as being a real estate investor and marketing strategist, he’s also a motivational speaker, mentor, and wealth coach. It took years of determination and the desire for success, but Mike was able to come out on top. He even landed himself on the list of Top 40 Under 40 Real Estate Investors in the Nation, a proud accomplishment for a man who risked everything to join the industry.

At the age of seven, Mike received his Visa to enter America, and soon after his father put their family on a plane from Africa. The five of them settled down in a one-bedroom apartment in a rough inner-city of Houston, having to live off welfare to get by. It wasn’t easy for Mike, but his upbringing inspired him to make something of himself.

Success came after years of painstakingly hard work and discipline, but every minute Mike spent on his company and investments was worth it. He had now become an eight-figure wealth coach and was creating a name for himself within the real estate community.

He credited a determined mindset to helping him; keeping his eye on the prize and staying consistent was vital. Mike shares more of his advice and tips with his one million Instagram followers. Find him engaging with them at the handle @MikeIncc__.
