In the modern digital age, there are so many more journeys to success than in the past. While the digital landscape is ever-evolving, there are so many ways to learn and connect with others than ever before. Success in the digital age depends on choosing the proper platforms, embracing the right opportunities, and truly connecting with an audience. If someone can conquer these concepts, the opportunities for success will be abundant.
In years past, things like stable employment and home ownership were some of the most prominent markers of success. Today, though, the definition of the American Dream is changing constantly, and it seems to really be up to interpretation for each individual. Entrepreneur Paul Alex has a unique story that is evidence of the American Dream’s evolving meaning.
Paul Alex worked a very stable, blue-collar job for several years as a detective in law enforcement. However, he began to realize that his 80-to-100-hour work weeks were taking a toll, so he decided to make a change. “After realizing that my job alone won’t make me rich, I looked for ways to make extra income,” said Paul Alex. “I chose ATMs for a simple investment, and within 18 months, I could scale it to 30 machines.”
Once he became familiar with the ins and outs of the ATM world, he decided to leave the law enforcement job and branch out independently. “I had an idea to build a small company that builds ATM businesses for others as a service,” he said. “There’s been ups and downs and things I needed to figure out along the way. But it took off, and soon sales started happening. And here we are, $25 million dollars in revenue later.”
His first company, ATMTogether, brought in enough revenue for Paul Alex to expand his brand and build his digital presence further. He began sharing tips and tricks on social media, garnering an audience that was eager to learn more about making passive income.
Taking what he learned from ATMTogether, Paul Alex then launched Merchant Automation, another company that allows budding entrepreneurs to build passive income using credit card machines. Once someone joins, they gain access to weekly live training sessions by eight to nine-figure merchant services entrepreneurs, a free, three-part mini-course, and a close community of everyday people with 9-to-5 jobs that share advice on starting a residual income business. Merchant Automation has proven to be wildly successful from the beginning, bringing in 1 million dollars in revenue in just five weeks.
Along with the businesses he has started, Paul Alex also wrote a book, From Blue to Digital Gold: The New American Dream. This book further explains Paul Alex’s story of going from a stressed, overworked detective to a modern-day digital entrepreneur through resilience and hard work. Paul Alex said that he is not much of a reader himself, but he understands the value of a book. So, he made sure the book was not too long and that people like him would want to read it and then explore his businesses for even more information once they became interested.
As the digital landscape continues to change and flourish, Paul Alex will be helping others across America who are looking for ways to become online entrepreneurs with multiple passive revenue streams. Visit his social media here to learn more.
