My Life Story… Better Than Watching A Movie
Even though my family was kinda poor, I’ve always been entrepreneur- minded and looking for ways to make cash.
Ever since I was 13 years old, I knew I had to start my own business in order to become rich. I didn’t really understand business back than though, but what I knew for sure was that I had to sell something to make money. So one morning I decided to sell sandwiches to my school mates, for a little more money than I had spent on preparing them.
I had to make some profit right…but I wanted them to be satisfied too, thus continue buying from me. So I made the sandwiches cheap and very tasty. Even back then I knew- both the seller and the customer had to be happy with the deal. And for transporting the sandwiches to school I used my backpack, so instead of textbooks I used to fill it with the food.
The backpack sandwich business was going so good, that at the age of 14 I saved to buy my first car. It was a Russian piece of crap, only coast a couple hundred bucks but still that was a lot for me back then. Everything was going awesome, until some competition came along. The other classmates, mostly out of jealousy, started making sandwiches too and even though theirs weren’t as good, some people started buying from them for an unknown for me reason.
However neither business succeeded, but at least I learnt about compettition and how you always have to consider it showing up at some point. I could not get rich back then, so I had to keep trying and definitely change something. So i figured out a plan about saving some money to be able to invest and get a real business going, with a good location and everything.
As you see my life story is like watching a movie, only it’s real.
I didn’t know a way of saving money, but I knew I had to find one. So as soon as I finished high school and got into a technical college, which by the way was so dumb, I jumped on to a work and travel student’s program. That’s a program where you go to the US to work and travel. I never traveled though, only worked because I needed the money bad enough not to care about anything else.
After working in the US for about for summers, I saved some benji’s and came back to my country. That was in 2006. As soon as I came back I bought a franchise and I got back in business. This time I made it big time. The first year my revenue was about half a million, and the second- twice as much. I also started a security and communication systems company.
This was between 2007 and 2011, so I can say I was growing fast, but 2011 came and the recession became very bad, so my business was slowing down to the point where I couldn’t keep it afloat anymore, so i had to close my company again. Then on December 2011 I jumped online and because I was a total newbie I had to learn a lot. But you know business is business no matter online or offline so I knew it couldn’t be that different online.
My first three months I was constantly learning and didn’t make a dime, but then I got involved with Empower Network, which is the best business there is online, at least up to now, and I started making some serious bucks- as i see more than most people who think they know how the Internet works do. So I’m pretty much making it happen again, only this time it’s going to be forever.
I hope you enjoyed my story, and most important got something out of it. It was a really short version of my life so there is gonna be a follow up soon.
