What made you realize you wanted to start your own business?
At first, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was going through the traditional system putting in minimal effort because I still was not clear on what my journey would be. I knew I wanted to make money, so I as a broke college student at the time, I started googling “how to make money online” and I started my first business from there.
How did you start your first business when you didn’t have a lot of money at the time?
There are 2 parts to this, firstly it comes down to the choices I made. I knew I did not have tens of thousands of dollars to throw into a brand idea, and I wasn’t planning on taking a loan out to do that either. So, my only choice was to look for business ideas that required low start-up capital. I started my first business with a few hundred dollars. The second part was just hustling. As a full-time student now also trying to run a business, I took a job as a part time waiter in order to re-invest the money into my business to scale faster. I didn’t mind working extra since I knew the reason was to scale faster than I would’ve been able to if I didn’t have the job. Fast forward to now you’re running multiple businesses and always still looking to expand.
How do you keep track of everything?
I built a team of people who can help me with tasks throughout the day. Everyone is good at what they do and they all share the vision I have. Early on I decided to take less money for myself in order to invest in hiring more people to the team and that has paid off exponentially over the last few years.
