#MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS STORY FULL#

If you have a successful business that you started on your own, then I am sure you hear people coming to you with ideas all of the time. Hopefully some of those stupid ideas don't cost you much money. 'Stupid ideas' are needed if you want to succeed at business.

I found this to be the most important thing when planning a new business. Most people are so blinded by the thought of how much money they can make, they don't think of all of the ways they CAN'T make money with their idea. It is usually not the idea that is stupid, it is the plan. I didn't need to be a trouble maker or an all star to be noticed. Everyone knows everyone and the teachers are really involved in more than your education. I loved the close family atmosphere of a private school. I was neither because I had no motivation to be an all star and no reason to cause trouble. You have to be in trouble or an all-star to be noticed. That was one of the exact reasons I wanted out. We don't understand why you are dropping out.' I just laughed. I met with the guidance counselor and principal. I just knew high school was not helping me grow as a person or intellectually.

I wanted to quit and work full time at the ski shop to get more real world experience and see what happens from there. Half way through my junior year, I realized this was a waste of time. I was being prepped to be a good little employee and do everything by the book.

I was never taught how to think for my self or how to figure things out on my own. It was like a review of what I already did in the private school. Teachers barely new me, they would give slackers way to get bonus points, there was no trust, etc. I still managed to pass with B's and C's. I never did homework or took a book home. I slept through my sophomore and junior year. The difference between the private school I attended and the public school was huge. I went from a public school to a private school then back to a public school for high school.

This simple job at the ski shop gave me the basics of sales and business management at a young age, but it was time to move on. I have produced my best work and ideas late at night.Īt the time, I knew this is the type of person I was and if I would succeed, it would not be from building a business on the side while I was working at the ski shop. Now, I stay up late at night to do my work because I race to get work done before I go to bed. Even in school, I waited until the last minute to do my homework or a major project. I am a person who succeeds when put under pressure. I was always hungry for money and always dreamed of doing some sort of big business that allowed me to be independent. I came to the realization that I did not want to be stuck in a job like this anyway. At the time, I don't think I understood why. I was getting very frustrated that I was taking on a lot of responsibility, but never given a management role. Even though I was never put in a management role due to looking very young, I was basically doing everything a manager was doing. By the end of the first season, I was getting very comfortable with sales and I was producing the most sales for the time I was putting in.Īfter a couple years, I learned how the business was run and I took a larger role in the shop. When I was 16, I looked 12, so that did not help. I was a shy kid so I had trouble speaking to customers and answering phones. I started out doing a lot of garbage work, but eventually I was allowed to do some sales. When I turned 16, I got a job at a ski shop after school and on weekends. I thought I would share mine, although it might not be as exciting as the others here and I am definitely not as successful as many, but I hope my story can be inspirational and helpful. There has not been a millionaire success story on here for a long time. Instead I wanted to come here and share my story. It is my birthday today and I decided not to do much work.
