They Said I'd Never Walk Again - From Wheelchair To Passive Income In Paradise
Martin Ebongué
I built a $1M/year automated business & I'll teach you how to do the same ?
How I turned a devastating injury into a 6-Figure/year automated empire. The 3-year painful journey I never wanted that transformed my biggest setback into success
WHAT BREAKING MY LEG TAUGHT ME ABOUT BUSINESS SUCCESS
The most important business lesson I ever learned didn't come from a book or mentor. It came from shattering my leg playing basketball in England.
Let me tell you the real story behind how this changed everything about how I think about business and success.
THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED
Look, when I was in England, I was doing great.
Had an awesome job at Black Spider, best company I've ever worked for.
The team was incredible - everyone would drop everything to help each other out.
I was playing basketball regularly, life was good.
Then one random pickup game changed everything.
I didn't just break my leg - I completely shattered my tibia and fibula.
Here's what nobody tells you about breaking your leg - you can't do anything.
Breaking an arm? Sure, you've got another arm.
But with a broken leg, both your hands are stuck on crutches. You can't even carry a plate of food.
And I was alone in a foreign country. No family nearby, no support system.
Just me and a 10-kilogram cast.
WHEN LIFE FORCES YOU TO START OVER
The doctors in England messed up the treatment so badly that I ended up with a 15-degree angle in my ankle and a 10-degree angle in my tibia.
The bone wasn't even aligned anymore.
I had to go back to France, back to my parents' house.
Ended up in a wheelchair for two months.
But here's the thing about hard times - they show you who your real friends are.
I had this buddy who would drive 20 kilometers every day just to check on me.
He'd do my groceries, pick up people from the train station.
He didn't have to do any of that. But he showed up, every single day.
THE DECISION THAT DEFINED EVERYTHING
The doctors were crystal clear: "Forget about basketball. It's over."
For someone who played two hours every day, this was like telling me to forget about breathing.
But they didn't know how stubborn I am.
Instead of accepting their verdict, I made a choice.
Found a gym that was open at night.
While everyone else was sleeping, I was there.
Starting completely from zero.
You want to know what real progress looks like?
It's learning to shoot without taking a step.
Then learning to shoot with one step.
Then two steps.
Night after night after night.
This wasn't some quick transformation story.
This was three years of showing up when nobody was watching.
Just to be able to run again.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LONG-TERM SUCCESS
Here's what's interesting - after all that work, after finally getting back on the court, I learned something crucial about success.
It's not about the big moments. It's about what you do when nobody's watching.
When I look at business today, I see the same pattern.
People look at me now and think it was easy.
"Oh, you live in Bali, you travel, you must be lucky."
They don't see those years of working nights after my day job, testing things, failing repeatedly.

For three years, I worked my regular job then spent every night learning, testing, trying to figure out how to make this work.
THE REAL NUMBERS BEHIND SUCCESS
Let me break something down for you that nobody talks about.
Everyone's obsessed with making millions, but let's talk real numbers.
If you want to make $40,000 a year, that's just $110 a day.
Want to make $100,000? That's $275 a day.
Doesn't sound so impossible when you break it down like that, right?
And here's the best part - you don't need to do it all at once. You can have:
It all adds up. That's how I think about business now - small, consistent steps that add up to something bigger.
WHY MOST PEOPLE GET IT WRONG
Let me tell you something about living in Bali.
I can live like a king here for $2,000 a month:
People think you need millions to live well, but they're wrong. Dead wrong.
The same people who say you need millions are the ones stuck in the rat race.
They're spending a fortune on commuting, fancy clothes, and expensive lunches just to look successful.
Meanwhile, I'm living exactly the life I want, and it costs way less than they think.

THE POWER OF STARTING ANYWAY
When I started my online business, I didn't know anything about funnels or marketing.
But I remembered what I learned from my leg injury - start anyway. Take small steps. Be consistent.
I spent three years working nights, learning, testing, failing, and trying again.
Just like those nights in the gym, learning to shoot one step at a time, I built my business piece by piece.
Most of what I tried failed. But you only see what worked.
When I find something that works, I document it, systematize it, and replicate it.
BUILDING SOMETHING THAT LASTS
Today, I'm super grateful for everything, including that broken leg.
It taught me the most valuable lesson about business and life - success isn't about making one perfect move.
It's about showing up every day, taking small steps, and building systems that last.
I make sure to thank everyone who helped me along the way:
Success isn't just about what you achieve - it's about remembering who helped you get there.
YOUR PATH FORWARD
If you're struggling right now, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, remember this:
You don't need to figure it all out at once.
Start small. Be consistent. Document what works. Build systems that last.
I've taken everything I learned from my journey - from those nights in the gym to building automated businesses - and created something to help others do the same.

Remember, success isn't about going fast - it's about going far.
Take it from someone who had to learn to walk again - small steps, taken consistently, will get you anywhere you want to go.
