SummaryJosef is a 38-year-old entrepreneur born in Montreal. His family’s humble background has encouraged him to continuously reach for his goals. One of his favourite quotes "Success isn’t owned. It’s leased and rent is due every day” pretty much sums up his approach on business and entrepreneurship. His philosophy has always been one of hard work and perseverance.
Just about 14 years ago, he co-founded Design Shopp, a Montreal-based marketing and web agency. Now running a team of 30 people, business management fills most of his days. His ability to identify new business opportunities also led him to public speaking and a various of diverse business investments.
As a self-made entrepreneur who has been through the many challenges of business ownership, Josef is compelled to help and motivate other business owners through their journey. He has developed a strong presence and fan base on social media that began with his motivational video “From struggle comes success – From baggage handler to CEO”, which went viral and reached more than 1 million views.
Being an online marketing guru and enthusiast, he continuously shares his knowledge with various business network groups and company owners, offering seminars and group coaching sessions. His unique approach allowed him to break down industry barriers and generate over a billion dollars in sales for his clients.
Fitness has been a crucial part of Josef’s life. Since early 2000, he has trained and coached in Mixed Martial Arts. Some may refer to him as a fitness junkie, but to his eyes, fitness isn’t just a way to strike a healthy work-life balance; it is the only path to personal growth and success. -
