Who Abner is

The journey behind the purpose

Born on the outskirts of Piracicaba, Brazil, Abner Smith is the first entrepreneur in his family. He faced the 2014 economic crisis head-on — lost what he had built, fell into debt and went through a deep burnout.

A method was born out of that rebuild. Today he has closed more than 300 B2B contracts for companies across different industries and structures international operations for entrepreneurs who want to expand both their lives and their businesses.

He currently lives in Asunción, Paraguay, where he runs consulting projects, writes about entrepreneurship and helps Brazilians build their own ecosystem abroad.

O Homem que Vendia o Tempo que Faltava

What if, just by looking at someone, you knew how much time that person had left? Eduardo Marques has been a salesman for fifteen years — until the morning he woke up seeing numbers above people's heads.

This is not a book about a supernatural gift. It is about what happens when someone stops processing people and starts truly seeing them — the most valuable skill there is, and one anyone can develop.

Written in a hypnotic narrative style, with stories inside stories, this novel teaches without ever sounding like a lesson. A book to read with a pen in hand.
