Daily Inspiration: Meet Felix Martinez

Today we’d like to introduce you to Felix Martinez

Hi Felix, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In August 2023, I found myself constantly thinking about starting my own fabrication business—something I had wanted to do for a long time. One night, I decided to stop overthinking and take action with the tools I had at the time. To my surprise, things went well. The workload steadily increased, to the point where I had to quit my full-time job and dedicate myself fully to the business. Although I’m still far from reaching my ultimate goals, I’m confident that with hard work and dedication, I’ll be able to achieve them.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
“Nothing is a smooth road; there are always bumps along the way. One of my biggest challenges has been pricing my services. It took me a while to learn how to price things appropriately, taking everything into account. Additionally, interacting with customers and being more social has been another area where I’ve faced some struggles.”

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’ve been a welder and fabricator since 2008, specializing in working with a wide range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, titanium, and more. Known for delivering high-quality work and providing top-notch customer service, I take pride in ensuring that every project meets the highest standards. What I’m most proud of is the unwavering support from my friends and family, who have been with me since day one. What sets me apart from others is my willingness to tackle any job, big or small, with confidence and precision, ensuring that no challenge is too great for me and my team.

What does success mean to you?
To me, success is delivering every job on time while efficiently handling multiple projects at once. It’s about having customers recognize the quality of your work and maintaining a busy schedule. Ultimately, success is making sure that my customers are satisfied and happy with the results.
