Why Mojomatt ?

When I started bartending at 20, we used to always scream "Faya" before a shot.

That's how I became Fayamatt for years.

Then in 2016, I started MojoSons.

So when I decided to really establish my personal brand, and because my days as a bartender were long gone, Fayamatt became Mojomatt.

And if you don't know what the " mojo " is, according to Cambridge Dictionary it is :

a quality that attracts people to you and makes you successful and full of energy:

Example: Mojomatt needs to get his mojo working to become successful.

My Story

I'm originally from the "center" of France, from a city called Tours, in a region most famous for wine and castles.

Nice childhood, I'm raised by my mother and I get picked on as a child because I'm super shy and ginger!

But everything else is fine.

I manage to finish high school alive, got my driver's license, saved some money by working during weekends and holidays and I can't wait to live my life.

 

2009: I drop out of Uni after 2 months, get a full-time job, and save money to travel.

2010: I fly to Australia to spend one year there with a one-year working/holiday visa and no plan. Best decision ever!

2011: In just a year down under I learn to speak English fluently, try about 30 different jobs, meet incredible people, get challenged a lot, learn a lot about myself, travel to some incredible places, skydive, and make more money than I thought was possible.

After a year, it's time to leave Australia and I know what I want to do with my life... become a bartender!

Back home in Tours (France), I'm moving back with my mum.

One of my friends introduces me to the only Australian Bar in Tours. I meet the owner, lie on my resume, and get the job.

With that job, I move to a shared house with 2 friends. Life is good.

2012: After watching the movie Cocktails about 10 times, I know everything I need to know about bartending.

I'm working in such a small bar, I don't need to know much about cocktails, but I learn as much as I can anyway because I absolutely love it.

During that year I learn how to manage a crowd, get the party started, get drunk way too much... I have the time of my life.

But after working way too much, getting my heart broken by a girl, and a strong disagreement with my boss, I'm done.

I quit my job, my house with my friends and I go to Thailand for the first time.

2013: I spend a total of 5 months in Asia. I almost don't drink, don't date, don't do anything fun.

My only focus is self-improvement. I'm trying new diets, new routines, I work on myself to become better.

Oh, and I start a blog, that doesn't get many visitors.

I go back to France in April.

Back to drinking, working in different places as a bartender... a lot of parties and drinks, not much else.

2014: Working, drinking, working, drinking, working...

2015: I'm back at the small Australian bar in Tours after 1 month in Brazil.

I start Ninjapero with 3 of my best friends.

We make Youtube videos on cocktails.

It's amazing, fun, but we lose focus and we're not able to break.

2016: I quit my job again. This time I'm done, I don't work to work for anyone else. It's time to fail on my own.

After a month of traveling in Europe and some time in Paris, I fly to Bangkok in April to look for a place to open a bar/cafe.

Long story short, I meet my business partner and in October we start MojoSons Events, an event planning company that specializes in Bachelor Parties and Fun trips.

2017: Lots of challenges and fun time with MojoSons.

We meet amazing people and make unforgettable memories but we don't manage to bring a stable income.

2018: I start to learn SEO to bring more customers into my business.

I'm also using that to grow my own blog.

2019: With deciding to split ways with my business partner at MojoSons.

He keeps MojoSons Events that will keep running.

I keep MojoSons brand.

I dedicate all my time to start affiliate websites and grow my blog to become a digital nomad.

2020: I'm dedicating this year to become a full-time blogger and influencer as well as launching my SEO Marketing agency mojosonsmedia.com.
