Hi, my name is Navid.

Who I am & my story – who is Navid?

I was born and raised in Sweden.

My mother is Swedish. My father is Iranian.

My name, Navid, means “good news” in Persian.

I have two younger brothers, Martin and Simon. Martin is six years younger and one of the best World of Warcraft players in the world. Simon was four years younger, but he unfortunately passed away very suddenly in 2013. That changed my life forever.

I played a lot of sports growing up — football (soccer), swimming, ice bandy, and a little bit of tennis. I was a striker and attacking winger, always pushing to score. My mom even paid me 10 Swedish Kr per goal. Some weeks, she had to pay quite “a lot”.

I studied natural science in high school. I hated it. I thought most of it was useless. If I had spent that time learning about business, I would have been way ahead.

I went to law school. It seemed like the right choice. But I quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Too much structure. Too many rules.

And I didn’t want to be chained to a cubicle desk all my life.

It wasn’t the life I wanted.

I had to find another way.

How I built my life & business

In July 2013, I made my first dollar online.

It was an affiliate commission — $65 from a blog post. It wasn’t much, but it showed me what was possible.

At the time, I was still in law school. I had no business experience. No audience. No plan.

But I knew one thing: I didn’t want to spend my life in a career I hated.

So in late 2013, I made the decision. I dropped out of law school without a backup plan.

I had no idea how I was going to make this work. But I was willing to figure it out.

The early days

I started a blog. I interviewed successful entrepreneurs. I wrote about business, mindset, and personal branding.

Then, in 2014, I discovered virtual summits. I noticed people in the health and wellness niche using them to build massive audiences and generate millions in sales.

I had no connections. No experience. But I decided to go for it.

In November 2014, I launched my first virtual summit. It was called The Branding Summit.

The breakthrough

The summit took off.

In a few weeks, I added about 3,000 email subscribers to my list and made $20,000 in profit—more money than I had ever made before.

The next month, I made over $40,000, and my business started growing fast.

On November 28, 2014, I quit my part-time job at a bank, where I was making less than $1,000 a month. I’ve never had a regular job since.

And the same day I quit my job, I made $5,000 in all-access pass sales from my summit (it felt amazing to say the least).

Scaling up

I doubled down on virtual summits.

I launched Virtual Summit Mastery, my first online course, in 2015. It did over $60,000 in its first launch. Future launches made six figures, bringing in $100,000–$200,000+ in just a few days of promotion each time.

Since then, I’ve helped thousands of entrepreneurs run their own summits, collectively generating millions of leads and tens of millions in sales.

One of my own summits later brought in 26,000+ email subscribers and generated well over $1M in sales from that audience alone (that’s the power of the engaged “summit” list).

Affiliate marketing also became a key part of my business. Since 2013, I’ve made over $1M in commissions promoting products I genuinely believe in.

Where I am now

For nearly a decade, I was known as the “virtual summit guy”. But my mission is much bigger than that.

I’m now focused on building a scalable and sustainable brand — one that goes beyond summits.

I’m launching multiple courses, templates, and products to help creators, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs grow their brands and income.

This time, I’m playing the long game.

What Navid does now

For years, I was known as the virtual summit guy. But my business has evolved.

Now, I focus on building a scalable, sustainable brand — one that goes far beyond summits.

I create content on business, personal branding, self-improvement, and high-performance living based on my personal experience over the past 10+ years.

I’m also launching multiple courses, templates, and digital products to help creators, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs build a powerful online business, achieve financial freedom, and design a life on their terms.

For me, success isn’t only about making money — it’s about discipline, consistency, and building something that lasts.

This time, I’m playing the long game.
