Introduction

Y ou may have a list of the symptoms I am about to name. These symptoms may consist of: not knowing how to find a field of interest for you; how to make money off of it. You may be feeling like you cannot maintain momentum with an idea; feeling like you are meant for greater things, but have no idea what to do. You could be a person who is tired of feeling average and just wants something great that you enjoy doing. Maybe you want to be an entrepreneur, but are intimidated by making the first big step in becoming that entrepreneur. It is even possible that you do not want to make that first step because of haters, or you feel you do not have the right education, or you do not have the money to start your company, or worst of all because you are afraid of the outcome. (Note: Haters are typically those jealous of your potential success and lack motivation to succeed on their own. This is the context I will refer to throughout the text.)

If you suffer from any of these symptoms, then this book is the perfect book for you. You will explore secrets, tips, and tricks that will help you overcome these symptoms. You can also expect personal stories and the best advice I used to overcome these obstacles in my own journey of starting a successful company at 17 years of age. You can do exactly the same thing. If you are a new entrepreneur and beginning to learn things, then this book is perfect for you. You are likely facing these obstacles right now – just like I did not so long ago. If you are not experiencing these obstacles now, then you can enjoy this book because it will prepare you for the inevitable times ahead!

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone, but it most definitely could be. Judging by the stories I heard of an eleven-year-old girl who made tens of thousands of dollars from her book about sleepovers, to the big leaguers like Bill Gates from Microsoft and Steve Jobs with Apple, all entrepreneurs face difficulties, are limited by their own beliefs, and pain of failure. I am going to debunk all of those concerns in this book. I will not only provide you with insights into these struggles, but will enable you with advice and tools you can use today that will start getting you the results you so eagerly want.

This book will provide a glimpse into my journey as an entrepreneur and the struggles I faced just like fellow entrepreneurs and how we overcame them, and the advice I can confidently give to you so you too can be successful when encountering the challenges that you will face. My success is a result of a series of reiterative questions that measures a person’s quality of life measured against their personal and spiritual relationships, physical health, and finances.

Without further ado, let’s get into it!
