Firstly i'm an Entrepreneur. It took me about 9 years to get here but i finally done it.
Little bit of my background. I grow up dirt poor where i bounced around from one foster home to another. After a while a decent family adopted me and raised me as one of their own. They enrolled me into a decent school and I managed to finish high school. I did not go to university as it was to expensive.
I decided to start working in the trade industry. For 9 years a bounced around from one job to another hoping to find my passion. Then i could save up and study my passion further. I discovered that my only passion was to become an entrepreneur. At this point i had no idea how to become one.
I seeked advice from a lot of people and yet no luck. One day i decided to visit my real dad whom i haven't seen in years. Tears rolled. It was an amazing day. That day opened my eyes. My dad was instantly proud. I regret that i never visited him earlier.
After a whole day of catching up. I ask my Dad the question that no one could give me an answer to.
Dad i want to become an entrepreneur. Then he said : "Son you can't become an entrepreneur". I was dumbstruck with confusion. But then he said : "You are already an entrepreneur! You just need to figure out how to be one". It took me a few seconds to realise what he meant. And be said the following : "Son safe the money you need to startup and then leave your 9-5 job and be a full time entrepreneur".
Well to tell you i listened to his advice. I saved up $2000 in six months. I did quite my 9-5 job and i invested the $2000 in my first venture. 3 months later a was sitting on $13500 clean profit. What did i do ? ....well i worked my ass of. I took the $2000 i bought a cheap reliable car, i used my trady skills that i have learned over the years. Made everything neat and tidy from the engine to th wiring and the whole inside and outside. I found a buyer who loved the car and he bought it from me for $3000.
Today 19 september 2018...1 year and a half later. I have my own dealership now. We now sell brand new cars from 15 of the biggest car brands in the world. Then that help me to invest into my second business that official started 3 months ago and that has been growing steadily.
Why did i create a steemit account?
Well because i love reading and writing a lot. I like to read books and news. I want to write on steamit about what i read and then share my opinion in my own words to steemit users and see their opinion as well as they comment and upvote.
What am i planning to post?
I want to post my own reviews and articles i write about things i read and other things i experience in normal life and as well as in business life.
What do i want to get from steemit?
I want to grow a following of people who will find my posts valuable and to see other peoples own opinions about my articles that i will be posting.
Thank you for reading. :)
