"Mastering Deals: Inside the Entrepreneurial Journey

In every facet of his life and endeavors, real estate investor,
author and speaker Jose Berlanga is a force of unwavering
tenacity. At only four years old, Jose found himself at death’s
door following a devastating accident that left his body covered
in third degree burns. He spent his childhood growing up in
various hospitals, leaving behind both physical and emotional
scars that would carry into his adulthood.


Determined not to let his life story be solely defined by
tragedies, Jose set out to make a name for himself. Led by his
passion and curiosity for the business world, entrepreneurship
came naturally to him. Jose’s entrepreneurial pursuits have
spanned numerous industries, with one thing remaining constant:
his persistence and level of involvement. With all his pursuits,
Jose takes a hands-on approach, getting involved in the
day-to-day of all departments at what many may consider an
unusual level. This involvement ranged from hiring and training
hundreds of people, to personally negotiating a few thousand real
estate transactions, both buying and selling.


Jose has achieved multimillionaire status four distinct times, in
four separate industries: an import/export company for machinery
for the Petrochemical industry, investments including a chain of
Italian coffee bars, a residential construction company, and
lastly, land development & construction.


Each of these successes was a feat of starting from ground zero
and meticulously building his wealth anew. His journey has
involved constructing complex business infrastructures, only to
lose them to factors beyond his control, such as economic
downturns, currency fluctuations, and world financial crises. In
between his four multimillion dollar endeavors, there have been
countless other businesses, too.


Despite facing monumental setbacks, Jose has consistently risen
from the ashes of lost enterprises, reinventing himself,
venturing into new industries with renewed vigor and
determination, and found even greater success in each new
endeavor.
