NOT REALLY A MULTIMILLIONAIRE STORY, MORE LIKE A THOUSAND-AIRE STORY HA!
When I was 15, I had the worst day of my life... I had a resit exam and also, my uncle died. Just think about that day in your head if it was you. My uncle and I were very close in fact he wasn't my uncle he was my great uncle, the term suited him greatly.
That day I went into school for my resit, no doubt about it I knew I'd fail and I did in the end lol. But I went home with £200 and as the school term was over (2 weeks off) I thought I'd try making my online business work. I can't tell you what it consists of as I still run it
But anyway I invested my £200 and a good friend of mine who I've known since I was around 11? scammed me all of the money. I was very upset as you would be on a day like this, but this itself put me in a mood for around a week... I finally thought to myself "I'm getting upset over this, why not just get back up?". I went out and did my research and asked people already in the business if I should carry on, they all told me the same - "Its a hard business you might as well not get involved, its too competitive" (Hah, wonder why they said that?) Funnily enough, regardless of what everyone said I took a risk... I invested £10 (not a lot) and by the end of the week (still going out with friends, working about an hour a day MAX) I managed to make just under £1,000.
I left the business and shut it down after this (quitting whilst ahead/ giving up). A month later everyone said the "game" was dead... I thought I'd take another crack at it with £10 again as I needed money, within a day I had £400 in my bank account, by the end of the month I had £6,000. I dominated this sort of market for atleast 3 weeks before everyone else found out how I was doing it then jumped on the bandwagon, people copying my strategies etc. Regardless to say I went out and bought myself an iPad 2 an iPhone 4 and a MacBook haha.
But what I'm trying to say is, that little bit of sadness in my life did not knock me down, I gave up because I was 15 and wanted more time outside than inside. Once your down, you've gotta get back up. Don't listen to what anyone says, its your future - build it how YOU want. I made over £7,000 in 5 weeks from doing an hour-2 hours a day in the end. I could of made it go a lot bigger but I didn't. All from someone ruining my week. I hope this is sort of inspiring that if you want it, you can do it.
