Jonathan Sifuentes

Jonathan Sifuentes' story is one of perseverance, growth, and leadership. From the moment he discovered the world of network marketing to becoming one of the top earners in his industry, he has honed his entrepreneurial values to change lives. Through direct sales, health and wellness, and community building, Jonathan is on a mission to achieve lasting success.

An Early Drive

Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Jonathan's parents were the ones who first introduced him to network marketing, teaching him the value of time, integrity, and money. At just seven years old, his father made him read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Kid, Smart Kid. Coupled with his parents' example, this book became the foundation of his entrepreneurial journey.

When Jonathan was 12, his family moved from Mexico to Houston, Texas. Though he didn't know English, didn't have any friends, and struggled to adapt to the culture, he faced the challenge with characteristic determination. By the age of 14, he started in a local taco shop; by 15, he realized that traditional education wasn't the path forward for him and dropped out of high school.

Direct Sales and Entrepreneurship

After dropping out, Jonathan started selling cars. He quickly became the top salesman at Auto Union in Houston, earning USD 3,000 a month. At 16 years old, he started his network marketing journey with a coffee company. Working difficult 16-hour days, he made USD16,000 in his first year. Believing in his approach, he attended numerous personal development events and listened to his mentors, his father, John C Maxwell and Anthony Robbins.

By 19 years old, Jonathan started his own door-to-door sales business selling home services. Doing this work, he was earning USD 20,000 a month in commissions. He started developing a sales team to help him, and soon enough he had a hundred salesmen working for him across two offices. At 20 years old, he made his first million as a network marketer.

Facing Tragedy

For all his success at such a young age, one of his most difficult challenges was yet to come. "At 22 years old my father passed away," Jonathan shared. "He was my first mentor. He was my best friend. I used to walk in the shadow of my father. I learned so many lessons from my dad's passing away. The biggest lesson I learned was that my dad's biggest reason for success was not making money—it was about family and good times."

Returning Home

With a renewed sense of purpose, Jonathan returned to Mexico to support his family. He launched a new company from the ground up, quickly growing to serve 300,000 customers across 100 countries. At 25 years old, he was at the pinnacle of his life.

"I decided to pause and really find out what my purpose would be. I travelled, I searched, I seeked. I was never money driven or someone who chased the money. I wrote my first book [N.7296 Prisoner of My Mind] and became a published author."

A New Venture Ahead

At 26, Jonathan's mother was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. That same year, Jonathan was introduced to a health and wellness company his friend was launching. Knowing that the first person he wanted the business to help was his mother, he accepted the calling to take the company global. Today, at 28 years old, Jonathan's goal is to build a customer base in the millions to improve the lives of his family and all those around him.
