Mario's Journey from a Delivery Driver to a Business Owner.
Meet Mario, a dedicated Cloud of Goods partner based in Tampa, Florida. His entrepreneurial journey is a powerful reminder that with the right opportunity, hard work, and commitment, anyone can turn a side hustle into a thriving business. Through his partnership with Cloud of Goods, Mario has transformed his life and built a successful mobility rental operation that serves countless customers in his community.
From Driver to Business Owner: Mario’s Start with Cloud of Goods
Mario’s journey with Cloud of Goods began in a different role. Before the pandemic, he worked as a delivery driver, transporting mobility rental equipment to customers. At that time, Cloud of Goods operated with warehouses and inventory across the country. However, when the pandemic hit, Cloud of Goods had to pause operations, and Mario pivoted to a job in home restoration.
When Cloud of Goods restructured its business model, offering opportunities for on-the-ground rental partners, Mario saw his chance. While on a lunch break, he took a leap of faith by purchasing his first scooter and downloading the Cloud of Goods app. “I accepted my first order, made the delivery, and was immediately excited about the potential,” he said. That marked the beginning of his journey from driver to business owner.

A Leap of Faith That Paid Off: Building a Thriving Business
As Mario saw the potential of being his own boss, he took the plunge and left his previous job to pursue Cloud of Goods full-time. He quickly scaled up, buying more scooters and building a rental business that grew beyond his expectations.
By the end of his first year as a Cloud of Goods partner, Mario had earned $50,000. That number jumped to $80,000 the following year, and by 2023, his business grossed over $160,000. “I was really surprised by how fast things took off,” Mario shared. “Once I started seeing results, all of my initial fears disappeared.” His success shows how commitment to the Cloud of Goods platform can open doors to significant financial growth.
Expansion with Purpose: More Than Just Business
Mario’s success isn’t just measured in dollars — it’s driven by a deeper sense of purpose. As his business expanded, so did his product offerings and the number of people he served. Today, his inventory includes over 60 mobility scooters, along with wheelchairs and lifts. He is also exploring offering specialized equipment such as portable air conditioners and hospital beds.
But for Mario, it’s not just about the numbers. “I know this service is really meaningful,” he explained. “We’re helping people, and there’s purpose in what we’re doing. I really believe in purpose.” His commitment to making a difference fuels his drive to keep growing and improving his business.
Rentals Become a Family Affair: Bringing Others Along
Mario’s entrepreneurial spirit has not only transformed his own life but also inspired those around him. His success has led him to bring others into the Cloud of Goods community, including friends and family members. Today, his three sisters, brother-in-law, and even his wife are partners in the business. “I’ve been able to share this opportunity with others, and it’s been amazing to see them succeed as well,” Mario shared. His ability to inspire and support others is a testament to the value of the Cloud of Goods platform.
Looking Ahead: Ambitious Plans for the Future
With business booming, Mario is already looking toward the future. He has ambitious plans to expand by opening a storefront to better serve his customers and offer more rental options. “Once I have a storefront, it’s just going to grow from there,” he said confidently. Mario is constantly seeking ways to improve, from learning to repair scooters to expanding his product offerings.
For Mario, success is about more than just financial rewards. “It’s not just about the money — it has to mean something more than that,” he emphasized. This purpose-driven approach ensures that Mario’s business will continue to thrive and make a meaningful impact on his community.
