Walter Weekes, better known as Freshprinceceo, hails from the tiny island of Barbados, but like anyone who dreams of success, he also dreamt the American Dream and hoped to make his dreams come true.
“Trust and believe any person starting a business will have bad days, and getting past those bad days separates the successful from the unsuccessful.”
-Walter Weekes, “Freshprinceceo”
Luckily for him, his dreams and success started to unfold before his eyes as he moved to the US to pursue his dream. However, this did not come without a cost. Before the decision to pack up and move thousands of miles away from home and from everything he knew, he was in a motorcycle accident, which almost took his life.
This was when he decided to live his dream because life is too short to be wondering about what-ifs daily. He decided to move to Miami, and soon after, his American Dream became a reality.
It’s safe to say that his journey to the top was not easy at all. For Freshprinceceo, even just the move alone was a massive step in his career milestone. In his own words, he says, “I came from an island where the most expensive car is a range rover. Most people never leave, but I knew I was destined for more.”
This self-confidence and belief in his destiny, coupled with the determination to work from the ground up, was all he ever needed to make it in this cutthroat industry.
It took dozens and dozens of meetings, networking, and side hustles for him to get where he is today, and because of this hard work, Walter stays grounded even in his fame. All the sleepless nights on the job finally paid off as he became one of the cohosts of Miami’s top podcasts today. His natural talent for public speaking and connecting with people makes him perfect for this role.
Walter is a walking example of “if it is meant to be, it will happen” because he worked his way into real estate investing when the cohosting opportunity came to him. With social media being as popular as it is today, all that Walter needed was the little advertising of his presence in one of the creator’s videos, and the rest happened on its own.
From here on out, Freshprinceceo was all set for success. From people blowing his DMS on his social media accounts to people asking about him and talking about him, it is enough marketing to get him to the place he wanted to reach.
With more people showing interest in what he said, he soon found his destiny lay in his talent for public and motivational speaking. Especially since a majority of his audience was asking about women and dating for men, he decided to center on the target and create a niche that would address these issues as they came up.
And creating a YouTube page was the last pin in his cushion for ultimate fame. With a friend casually suggesting he create a YouTube channel of his own, Freshprinceceo was now on his way to becoming a YouTube sensation with more than 300 members on his Pateron and over 30k subscribers on his YouTube channel.
He has clients from all over the world seeking his dating advice. For him, he says the best feeling is when someone from far away comments and tells him that his videos or his service helped them get what they were looking for.
Freshprinceceo is an advocate for the importance of the right mindset. According to him, there’s nothing more powerful than having the correct mindset before you dive into the deep end. Only when you have the right mindset can you tackle whatever comes your way with poise and the right attitude. He also emphasizes self-marketing, which is one of the best ways to reach your target.
It’s safe to say that Freshprinceceo’s career is only going in one direction, and that is up! There’s no going back to breaking records, selling his lessons, and creating history with his podcast partners.
His role in the business is as a lifestyle and dating coach who helps other men improve their social life starting from media branding to their lifestyle as a whole. He is an encouraging voice behind the microphone influencing many men to become better versions of themselves for their benefit and those near them.
