Ryan Buttigieg’s story makes a mark on the vast e-commerce space, where companies often come and go because of ever-changing online rules and shoppers’ tastes. Now tied to top-level business success in Europe’s online market, Ryan started where many people do — stuck in a job that didn’t suit him and desperately wanted to leave.
He wasn’t just another dreamer; Ryan was a man of action. He was tired of the endless hours and unhappiness at his old job. He looked to the internet for comfort and opportunities. “I knew there was more to life than this,” Ryan says. The hunger to change not just his life but the lives of many led him down a path of continuous learning, seeking out as many courses and systems as he could. Soon enough, sales began pouring in, and the rest, as they say, is e-commerce history.
But Ryan’s meteoric rise wasn’t just about individual achievement. When friends asked about his progress, he didn’t keep it to himself. He began helping them, sharing what he knew. His love for teaching grew fast. It grew so much that he had to find a way to handle everyone who wanted his help. “It became too much to teach the amount of people asking what it was I was doing,” he shared. Thus, he built a training platform in partnership with a like-minded colleague — one that would share his insights and fill the gaps left by other online courses. It aimed to be “bigger and better,” and it did just that. Today, Change Mentor Hub is at the top, recognized as the best training platform for online business in Europe.
The outcomes? Staggering. Ryan can’t help but smile when he shares the success stories of his platform’s members. The success stories show how effective Ryan’s advice has been, from closing colossal business-to-business deals with prominent high-street brands to individuals raking in six-figure sums with their e-commerce stores. And there’s more — think about the excitement of taking 40 users on a trip to Bali, mixing business learning with the beautiful scenes of the island. In 2023, this idea became real, adding another highlight to Ryan’s ongoing adventure.
Of course, it hasn’t all been easy — the decision to break away from a conventional path brought along its fair share of doubt and criticism. Some were even jealous, trying to bring Ryan down. Yet, for someone driven by determination and a clear goal, these challenges didn’t stop him. “This was my journey,” Ryan says, showing his firm commitment.
Ryan’s story isn’t just an inspiration, it’s a clarion call to all those yearning for more. “If you have the desire for more in life and the willingness to work hard and follow your dreams, then it’s absolutely possible,” he says. After all, He started without any know-how of the online world. But what he had was a deep passion and unstoppable determination.
This e-commerce star has a clear goal. Ryan plans to reach more people with his platform, helping others build their dreams by transforming 9-to-5 routines into e-commerce empires. For him, the greatest prize is watching people reshape their futures, just like he did.
