About Me
Welcome to Mentispedia!
I never wanted the 9-to-5 life — fixed hours, fixed mindset, fixed dreams.
So I built my own path.
Over the years, I’ve created digital assets that work for me (even when I’m not working), so I can live on my own terms — with more freedom, better balance, and a clear head.
Now, I spend my days mixing tech, creativity, and strategy to shape a lifestyle that feels good — not just “successful” on paper.
If you're into designing a life outside the box, welcome — you’re in the right place.
From Coffee Breaks to Big Plans
I’ve never chased a traditional career path within someone else’s company.
I worked as a waitress, in tourist entertainment for just $430/month, and in office jobs earning less than $1,000/month.
Despite that, my studies in foreign languages opened the door to a broader world — not just geographically, but mentally.
I’ve always been drawn to open-minded cultures and sunny climates, which is why I left Italy to live in Greece for two years and have called Portugal home for the past seven.
The ocean, sunshine, and lifestyle of southern Europe made me feel truly alive — and more determined than ever to create a life of freedom on my own terms.
The Moment I Realized I Wasn't Meant for the 9-to-5
Since the early 2000s, I felt a spark when I discovered the power of the internet.
The idea of reaching millions — even billions — of people with an online store amazed me.
Compared to physical stores, with all their high costs and limits, online business offered flexibility, low risk, and massive reach.
I started asking myself: if an entrepreneur can pay ten employees and still profit, how much value was I creating for others that I could instead create for myself?
I knew I wanted to build something of my own — something scalable, smart, and sustainable.
I didn’t want to work my whole life just to come home exhausted, like I had seen with my parents.
I wanted more — for me, and for them.
Burnt Out, Broke, But Not Beaten
I began with dropshipping — and quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Too many refunds, complaints, and advertising costs.
Then I explored Amazon FBA but avoided private label products from China. Instead, I found a better way: reselling branded products from local Italian suppliers. No need to advertise — people were already searching for these products.
But physical products still came with problems: returns, Amazon fees, and unpredictable competition.
That’s when I discovered Amazon KDP — publishing books on demand. No inventory, low cost, creative freedom — and truly passive income.
Still, books required ads to sell well, so I kept going — looking for the next level of simplicity and scale.
Doing Less, Earning More, Living Better
After years of testing, failing, and learning, I now have a clear vision: to build a self-sustaining ecosystem of digital assets (courses, templates, guides) where each product feeds the next, with minimal ad spend and maximum freedom.
My goal is no longer just to make money, but to design a life I don’t need a vacation from.
To work when I want, where I want, and spend time with the people I love.
I believe freedom means health, joy, time, and purpose.
And I believe anyone feeling stuck can break free.
The choice to live the life you want is always yours.
