Ever since I was 13 years old, I knew I had to start my own business in order to become rich.\u00a0I didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
I had to make some profit right\u2026but I wanted them to be satisfied too, thus continue buying from me.\u00a0So 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.<\/p>\n
The backpack sandwich business was going so good, that at the age of 14 I saved to buy my first car<\/strong>. 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\u2019t as good, some people started buying from them for an unknown for me reason.<\/p>\n 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.<\/em><\/p>\n I didn\u2019t 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\u2019s program. That\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n After working in the US for about for summers, I saved some benji\u2019s and came back to my country. That was in 2006.\u00a0As 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\u00a0<\/span>million,<\/span>\u00a0and the second- twice as much. I also started a security and communication systems company.<\/p>\n 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\u2019t 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\u2019t be that different online.<\/p>\nAs you see my life story is like watching a movie, only it\u2019s real.<\/span><\/h3>\n
