A quick background about Martin Godfrey Legido...
In my book, I share my personal journey from a loving yet financially challenged family to achieving a multimillion-dollar status through self-directed learning and hands-on experience.
My practical and spiritual mission is to empower individuals to Level Up, seize the vast array of opportunities available, and foster the growth of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) wealth within societies.
I aim to assist people in harnessing their potential, embracing abundance, and capitalizing on the opportunities that surround them. Through my experiences and insights, I strive to inspire others to achieve their own financial success and make a positive impact on their communities.
After studying law, Martin qualified as a Chartered Accountant and spent the first part of his career working for major Blue Chip companies in Finance and Marketing.
- IBM Ltd
- Unisys Computers
- Major Consultancy in the City Of London ( Consulting & M&A)
Martin worked and was based in four countries and three continents including New York and Hong Kong, collecting a great range of experience in Finance, Marketing and other disciplines as to how large Blue Chip Companies operate including the acquisition of new subsidiaries.
Martin then went on to create and promote his own and other small businesses starting in completely new fields of consumer goods
- Launch of 2 Master Franchises in Holland & Spain
- Created & Sold on PC peripherals business
- A Joint Venture With Greenalls.
- Multiple Consulting to SME’s for M&A and Business Development
- Acquired and sold on SME businesses in Plumbing, Electrics and various sectors
- Creation and eventual Trade Sale of Godfreys Schnapps
- Creation of a multi million pound UK and Spanish Property Portfolio.
- Mentorship in business and Real Estate for the large UK and USA training company
As a result of his experiences, Martin has a large breadth and depth of both large corporate and SME knowledge to help clients grow and prosper their businesses, always with a smile and a sense of humour.
He believes firmly in doing things in an honest and ethical manner, aware as he is of many sharks and “gurus” in the training space.
He will always strive for a “win-win” deal but understands that at times one must take a firm and hard stance to negotiate well and reject when prudent.
Martin teaches and has been a lifelong student of Chinese Internal Arts, in particular, Xing Yi Quan & Yi Quan and also Qi Gong. He has Masters’ in Beijing and teaches weekly classes.
One of Martin’s passions is sailing, and he is an RYA Yachtmaster with his classic yacht Blue Jade, having sailed the Atlantic twice and spent several seasons in the Caribbean. Martin keeps his yacht close to home on the Mediterranean in Barcelona.
In winter Martin enjoys skiing the Pyrennees with the family, and among many interests is a keen collector of modern art.
Martin has a deep spiritual belief which manifests in a desire to help his fellow man forward.
