A Journey to a Million Dollar
Inspirational story and pathway to become a millionare
A question that made me a millionaire...! What I will do after graduation?
Eventually, in a very short time I accomplished the milestone of a million-dollar then I took a deep breathe but wait…...! it was not over nightly, it took me 7 years of continuously learning, implementing, struggling, hard work, teamwork, taking courageous decisions, going against the clock, passion, dedication, and complete focus. It is not a motivational story only but a pathway to those who are struggling to live their dream life and to enjoy streams of passive income.
Once Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. an American actor, director, and producer said in a speech “Put God first in everything you do, everything you have accomplished and everything you have is by the grace of God and understand that it is a gift”. So, I will put God first and confess without hesitation that everything I have today is a blessing and bestowed by God.
I was brought up in a family where there was everything but nothing. We were four and parents, living in a house with broken wooded windows, rooms with no doors, down-to-earth roofs, wrecked floors, and moreover, we had only one person to feed the whole family and that was my father. The only thing I had was my caring and supportive family at that time and this was everything for me. We all siblings were in a school. Only I and my family know better how we siblings got a university education.
On the 20th of April 2013, I remember holding up a cup of tea and sipping while sitting on the floor and thinking “What I will do after graduation”. It was deep thinking, for hours an hour I was trying to find out the way to earn money that led to a comparatively better life, and being a responsible and sincere family member, I had to support my family and parents after graduation. It was a simple question but being a last-year student of chemical sciences, it was not easy for me to think out of the box just because I was not familiar with it nor we had been taught culturally. I had only the last option to find a good job and stuck to it but I was not ready to apply for a job even. First, I was always side-tracked from a 9 to 5 job mindset. Secondly, I had few things to achieve and that was impossible in my job. Finally, I decided to work for myself but again it was a mystery for me to know “what to do and how to do”.
From somewhere I got the indication to start working online. I came home and started applying for the projects. I got several projects quickly for data entry and composing. At that time, I was able to fulfill my basic needs perfectly. When I started working online, I heard many voices saying “you are hitting around the bushes, you are wasting time, it’s insane, it’s fake, but I kept moving.
A few months later, I started kindle books publishing, but again everyone said, “it’s impossible, it’s a daydreaming, it’s an illusion, don’t waste your time and look for a job, etc.” In the period of three and a half months, I published 35 books. In Dec 2013, my first income was 12$ only but I was feeling happy, I was satisfied, my personal calling said “yes, you are going on the right track, yes, you have achieved”. This was a very strong calling for me. The next month my second disbursement was 200$ and the third month was 800$, which was a big amount for me in 2014 and more than a salary of a person doing a job in the government and private sector.
In 2015, we have started our first product selling on Amazon in the US from 4000$ in sports and outdoor. The moment we got the first sale is indescribable. The product has gone viral and started sales insanely. The product was getting sales like crazy and we were getting stuck in inventory management, but in the end, I was happy with a 6k – 10k $ profit per month. Soon after, I have started multiple products with multiple accounts and rapidly started growing my business. Eventually, the saying became untrue that “money doesn’t grow on trees”.
At the end of 2018, I made an agency with a team of experts and launched multiple brands, grew them up, and flipped. So, I decided to help investors and brands to grow on amazon and provide them practical knowledge to launch their products and brand on Amazon for a profitable business and passive income stream.
If People ask me what’s the secret behind such a huge success? I will definitely quote a statement of a Brazilian Writer well-known by his novel “The Alchemist” he says; “people beginning ask me what’s the secret behind such a huge success? The only honest response is; I don’t know. All I know is that like Santiago the shephered boy, we all need to be aware of our personal calling. What is a personal calling? It is God’s blessing; it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don’t all have the courage to confront our own dream.”
