People laughed at me when I said I will quit my job, train in permanent makeup and open my own salon. I did just that, took a loan, trained, risked it, went from £18k annual salary to raking in over £100k annual profit being a business owner. People laughed at me when I said I’ll be purchasing cars at auction, getting them fixed and selling for profit. I knew nothing about cars and the auctions were dominated by men. I did just that and in the end I was buying multiple cars every auction and making over £10k profit monthly. People laughed at me when I said I want to invest in stocks and crypto during covid, they thought I was mad and that I would lose everything. I did just that and turned £40k into over £2M. I went from an immigrant that started by waiting tables on minimum wage, working 3 jobs simultaneously to buying my own house outright. The moral of the story is, don’t listen to the naysayers. Listen to your gut feeling and don’t be afraid to fail. Be persistent and remember if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything.
