How To Find Success - Personal And Professional
Author: Chris Angus
I am going to tell my story about how I made my first million
at a young age, heck, I'm still young. I will also tell how I
finally found peace and happiness which was instrumental me
becoming financially successful.
All my life I was an under performer, at almost everything I
did. I failed a couple of years at school; I was bad at sports
and just generally an "E" grade student.
This went on though my college career and I barley scraped
through my qualification.
I went on to do a Microsoft Qualification which I really
excelled at, this was strangely bizarre a I had just got on the
course because I didn't know what I really wanted to do or where
to go with my life. I even managed to get into the top 5% of all
students.
I left the course at the end of the year and proceeded to try
and find a job. Which I failed dismally at, the course I had
taken was a very popular course and the IT market was flooded
with people with this type of qualification.
Eventually I got a job working for my girlfriend's dad, and
that only lasted about eight months, I then drifted from job to
job. Never working for more than a year at any one place of
employment.
I got pretty tired of being just a guy with pretty rubbish, low
paying office type jobs so I decided to move to another country,
thing that it would be much easier somewhere else. The grass is
always greener.
This was really the start of my hardship, I struggled to get
any type of job and after being really broke ended up working
as a dishwasher in a hotel, I did this for six months and then
moved to more of a proper sales job. Guess what that only
lasted three months before I was fired.
This continual cycle never seemed to stop and went through
another three jobs before I decided that I should maybe think
about doing something that I wanted to do.
I decided that I had better start my own business so I couldn't
get fired for one. It also puts the responsibility squarely on
your shoulders, so if it all goes wrong it's no one else's
fault but your own.
Since I know a bit about IT, I thought that it would probably
be a good place to start. That's where it all began, I started
offering basic IT services to small business owners, that lead
to referrals, and it all snow balled.
I didn't take much money out the business, and kept my
overheads low and reinvested as much as I could.
Within three years I had make over one Million Pounds, and had
a business worth five times that.
To top it all off I am still under thirty.
The moral of the story is, be prepared to take the risk of
starting your own business. Work hard and be smart. Don't rob
your business as soon as you start making a bit of money.
You will succeed.
