ABOUT KEV BLACKBURN
Hey. I’m Kev Blackburn, online entrepreneur, systemisation strategist, success coach, philanthropist, and founder of Life Success Engineer.
Graduating from university in 2014 with a first class degree in Electrical Engineering, I suddenly realised that there was more to life than what I had built for myself. Having a young family, all I wanted to do is support them but in this thinking, I had actually built a life without freedom or control to be with them.
In 2015, I had the opportunity of a lifetime when I came across Amazon FBA and the online business model Online Arbitrage. Going all in, we were able to quit our jobs, move into a warehouse and now on the road to £10,000,000 in sales.
In 2016, I began getting more and more involved in Personal Development and challenging myself to become better everyday in all areas of my life. This allowed me to become aware of areas of life that I had neglected and was suffering in.
In 2017 & 2018, I published over 1300 videos on YouTube sharing everything I have learned from building our business, developing our systems and building our teams. I launched Life Success Engineer as a vehicle for me to share my journey and in the process support as many people as possible giving as much as possible. I share everything I possibly can from mindset, beliefs, strategies, online business, productivity, goal setting, motivation and much more with a very simple mission, inspire massive action!
In 2019 & 2020, our business grew exponentially and we moved into our brand new 10,000 SqFT warehouse which is now our headquarters where we continue on our mission to ship 1,000,000 units a month apart of our expanding FBA Prep Service Global franchise.
TESTIMONIALS
WHAT THESE AMAZING PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
LIFE SUCCESS ENGINEER?
Unfortunately, as I was born, my father being a soldier in the army had to leave which left my mother to take care of us alone. I have never seen my father since. When I was 4 turning 5 my mother had met an English man to whom my little brother was born and we moved to England in 1993/94. So at this point, I was a half German and half American boy moving to England to be English. It’s a complicated start to life.
Germany seems like a vague memory to me but I have my earliest memories from there. England is all I have ever really known as I was integrated into school easily and learnt the language fast. Everything was great until I was 11 years old when my mother became unwell and was forced to move back to Germany. This was a devastating time for my family. It was then a decision made by my sister to take me in and look after me that was the turning point in my life.
The incredible thing was my sister was only 16 at the time when she took me under her wing and looked after me. She was being cared for by a family friend and she did everything she could to keep me from going into care. I owe her everything for that. She is the reason I am the person I am today. I promised myself at 11 I would never be any trouble to my sister and I would become the best person I could so that one day I can provide for my own family. I had the amazing gift of giving my sister away at her wedding day.
I got fantastic results at GCSE and very proud of my achievements I made during this time when things could have been so different. Adulthood seemed to come around so quickly as I turned up at college seemly being funnelled down the education route. A decision was made after 1 year at 6th form college that I would quit and join an apprenticeship.
Meeting Kylie during a walk home from a part time job I had during the first year of the course, my life would never be the same again. Driving past in her car, she had become friends with some of my school friends so they stopped. Within 1 year, we got the news that I guess most 18 years would fear the most. We were going to become parents at the fresh age of 19. Although it was a shock, Kylie and I have never looked back.
This gave me more drive and desire to provide for them and become that Engineer would support our family. I honestly believed our life’s direction was going exactly as planned. Every year as we grew would become easier. I would get a pay rise and things would be ok. I lived in believing this story up until I made it to an Electrical Engineer.
Having successfully completed a first class degree, the career goal had finally come true. Then something truly magical happened....
Life had become exactly as we visioned it but something was missing because it didn't feel right. It suddenly dawned on me that this pattern of life is like so many others. Living a tradition life and trying our best to make ends meet. As our wages grew, so did our expenses. I realised nobody throughout my entire education actually taught me about money and how to manage it. Somehow we just going from month to month waiting to be paid again.
This was the moment I was “plugged out the matrix”, I snapped and I told myself I will not live like this anymore! I was now seeking an opportunity to do something extraordinary in my life. To be with my family every day and for as long as I want. To have total freedom in life. This is what truly made me feel fulfilled and happy. Not the significance of the job title.
That is when I get the chance to start an Online Business with Amazon FBA. We began selling on Amazon in June 2015 and scaled our sales up to £150,000 in 6 months so we just went all in and quit our jobs.
We began this from our living room while I was still working and Kylie was on maternity with Harper. It wasn’t easy and huge sacrifices were made to make it work but we made it to the point where we could work for ourselves.
We made it in June 2016 when we walked into our brand new warehouse that was incredible significant for us at the time. It gave us the belief that we could continue to build the business to the goals we have. During this time, we had built a bigger team both at the warehouse and virtually online. We had our first warehouse processor in Amber and we have a full virtual assistant team that allowed supported us to source products everyday, purchase products everyday, ship products everyday and finally sell products everyday.
This is what gave us the first experiences of freedom in life having a business that would run and be managed 100% without Kylie and I to manage operations. It is what started to plant the seed of wanting to help and support other people by simply asking the question, how do you want to live life?
If we had not asked this and came to become aware that all we wanted to do is live life on our terms to enjoy time with loved ones and friends, we would never have been open to this opportunity. This was also the year I invested heavily in my own personal development spending £1000's on coaches, training programs and seminars.
Being introduced to Personal Development was a defining part of this journey.
This was the start of many businesses that we launched from our FBA Prep Service Global Franchise and multiple other services to support other business owners.
Many lessons were learned in this time and the importance of team building cannot be underestimated. Nothing would be possible without a team and we have an incredible group of people that now build this business with us.
This is why I do not just talk and share things about business or just personal development. They really do go hand in hand together because as you grow, everything around you will too.
That is the mission behind the Massive Action Movement. To share different lessons and insights in every area of life that can support you step by step.
Having systemised and outsourced the entire physical products business, this has now given the freedom to build the business that I am truly passionate about which is helping others.
I have done this by recruiting the best team around me that can support you in giving you the best quality content, the best quality training programs and even the best events & masterminds to attend.
Having now worked with 100's of people one on one and 1000's of people in groups the success has been incredible. The wave of energy that has built in the communities is like no other. The experiences that others are having is stunning and it is fulfilling my ultimate vision to leave a legacy for others to see that if you take life head on through massive action then there is nothing that you cannot achieve.
Never settle for anything less than what you can become and what you can give to create yourself nothing other than an extraordinary quality of life. If you are ready to take massive action and start your journey, we have the tools, resources and results for you! Join our on our 10 year mission!
The result of this meant that online businesses exploded to the next level and our warehouse operations could no longer operate from 2,000 SqFT anymore. That's when we jumped at the opportunity to move to our brand new headquarters.
We have now got the capacity to ship over 100,000 units per month from our warehouse which gives us the opportunity to take our business to the next level of maturity.
We have hired more staff members and invested £10,000's of improving our equipment and systems. It's been an incredible journey that we have shared throughout on the Life Success Engineer YouTube channel to capture the journey.
The future is exciting as we go into the unknown with continued hunger, drive, passion, energy and courage to keep pushing further than we ever believed was possible just a short while ago.

LIFE HAPPENS FOR A REASON
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, on 22nd October 1988 to my German mother and my American father. Unfortunately, as I was born, my father being a soldier in the army had to leave which left my mother to take care of us alone. I have never seen my father since. When I was 4 turning 5 my mother had met an English man to whom my little brother was born and we moved to England in 1993/94.

The incredible thing was my sister was only 16 at the time when she took me under her wing and looked after me. She was being cared for by a family friend and she did everything she could to keep me from going into care. I owe her everything for that. I want to stress and highlight I do not blame my mother for this time. She is the reason I am the person I am today. I swore to myself at 11 I would never be any trouble to my sister and I would become the best person I could so that one day I can provide for my own family. I had the amazing gift of giving my sister away at her wedding day.
