Entrepreneurship is not for everyone, but for the few who are talented enough to navigate whatever industry they choose to be in, it can be the most freeing and empowering venture. Edwin Carrion is the man with a golden touch when it comes to entrepreneurship, as every single business venture he dabbles into results in exponential success. On top of growing an empire, Edwin also gets the opportunity to touch people’s lives and help other professionals further grow in their craft.
Edwin Carrion is a God-made millionaire, investor, and mentor. Throughout his run, he has founded multimillion-dollar companies that specialize in real estate development, transportation and logistics, investment, and business education and consulting.
Edwin Carrion has executed his expertise in various fields, serving as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, and Vice President of different significant privately owned companies for over two decades. He has gained the respect of many by excelling in various aspects such as managing start-up operations, development, design, organization, legal, financial, marketing, capital financing, and strategic negotiations. He has always been a key player, and his knowledge has been instrumental in the scaling of many eight-figure businesses. Taking those experiences with him, the entrepreneur decided to venture into something he could call his own and built Upscale Development Group, LLC.
In addition, Edwin Carrion also founded E&D Development in 2002 following the success of his military career with the United States Marines. Besides that, the visionary also built, developed, and sold over $30 million in real estate. After the real estate meltdown, Edwin founded Countrywide Gold Buyers in Rhode Island. After a few months, the company gained national status and brought forth a growing franchise concept, taking the company to over $15 million in revenue.
In 2014, Edwin Carrion sold Countrywide Gold Buyers and proceeded on to his next venture. He co-founded Eco-Modern Custom Homes, a high-end real estate development company that grew its portfolio of projects to over $10 million. After a year, Edwin sold the company. In 2017, he joined MDC Transport and had grown it from $2 million in revenue to over $12 million in just two years, joining the ranks of Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States.
Backed by 20 years of extensive experience in various industries, Edwin Carrion now shares his passion for entrepreneurship by mentoring others.
“My specialty and passion are teaching motivated individuals my secrets, techniques, and proven strategies that will create wealth in any business you choose and, as a result of that, achieving financial freedom,” the serial entrepreneur shared. “I’m willing to invest my own money with the people I mentor since I believe that what I teach is real, and if you apply what I teach, there is no option for failure.”
Asked what motivated him to share his knowledge with aspiring entrepreneurs, Edwin Carrion shared that he saw a lack of real, honest mentors in the industry—mentors who have great values and genuine belief in God. He witnessed how many wannabe gurus are making false promises to people, and he wants to address the problem by sharing what he knows from experience.
In the next few years, Edwin Carrion envisions himself speaking and motivating thousands of individuals around the world and teaching them how to live life to the fullest.
