From being a military man to a businessman, Eric’s journey to glory.

Military involves command and discipline while business demands a unique and dynamic angle. Both are completely different fields. Yet both have something in common, i.e. logistics and dedication. Excellence in both areas is hard but not unattainable. To have your mark of achievement one should have focus, determination, and patience. Military individuals can reason things and make decisions considering all the factors. This is required to be an entrepreneur. One such individual who utilized his learnings from the military in his life to gain success is Eric Calica.

Rising above the Ranks 

Born and brought up in Washington, USA, Eric’s journey started in 2009 when he decided to enlist in the military. Given how hard military training is, he defied all the odds whenever he encountered any. Stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, Eric climbed the ladder of ranking E-1 to E-5 within a single enlistment. His exceptional performance earned him 2 Navy Achievement Medals(NAM) followed by many other commendations. But often in our lives, a time comes when we realize that we can have more than what life has to offer now. This was that time for him. He realized that he wanted something more than the military could give. In 2013, he decided to explore new avenues. Then, he enrolled himself at Northwest Lineman College in Idaho. Eric moved into the construction field, where he began working and honing his craft. To surpass his achievements, he even secured an apprenticeship of 4 years, competing against over 200 applicants. After completing his apprenticeship in 2019, he achieved the prestigious title of Journeyman Lineman. Becoming a Journeyman Lineman opened doors for him to delve into the world of investing.

Trading Lessons Learned

Nobody has reached their current success without experiencing setbacks through trial and error. So has Eric. He experimented with different trading techniques at the beginning. A year of extensive transactions taught him the importance of sustainable and long-term investing. In 2021, Eric’s entrepreneurial spirit took flight and he started his own FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) Business. His knowledge was valuable when he cleared $100,000 in his first year. His success was further validated when his first product generated $15,000 in the first month. Alongside his thriving business, he also diversified his investments in the real estate market. His keen eye for opportunities led to a profitable property flip, earning him a 50% profit and allowing him to jumpstart his real estate journey. Currently, Eric’s Amazon business is nearly automated, his stock portfolio grows, and his rental properties generate a steady income.

Empowering Others

Eric has built substantial portfolios. Now he has visions to inspire others and provide them with the knowledge that he grew through his experience over the years. His content creation on YouTube and other social media platforms aims to part invaluable knowledge on mindset, investing, and personal growth. In the world of military to business, Eric Calica stands as a living testament to the transformative power of belief, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to personal growth. His self-awareness, discipline, dedication, and mindset have set him apart from his peers. His calmness while facing his shortcomings and struggles is his key to success.

At last, Eric shares his teaching from his journey, “Your level of success is directly related to the difficulty of problems you can solve without becoming overwhelmed.”
