The smart young man who after working with various organizations without any sense of fulfillment resolved to resignation to follow his passion of becoming an entrepreneur.

He gave up on paid jobs as a result of the ugly experiences he had as an employee in which delay in salary and lack of adequate welfarism of members of staff was a major issue.

Although he battled with being able to manage his profit well at the beginning because he lacked experience on how to separate his life from his business so at that point he was basically spending every profit he made from the business until he read a book titled Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki which helped him changed his mentality on how to manage business funds and ever since, he has been able to make significant progress in his business.
