I went from school dropout to a self-made millionaire at just 23 – my parents had no faith in me but here’s how I did it
A HIGH school dropout has revealed how he went from rags to riches at just 23-years-old and is now a self-made millionaire.
The savvy entrepreneur took to TikTok to lets fans in on the harsh realities when trying to achieve greatness, which social media rarely portrayed.
In the video, Tan Choudhury exposed the many hardships he faced as he tried to climb to the top of the business world.
He said: “I was a high school dropout working three jobs when I found my way out.
“Nobody believed in me, not my parents, not my friends.
“I worked my ass off each and every day – studying and implementing.
“But I never gave up.
“Because even when you’re winning, people will still doubt you.”
The US man later claimed in the clip that social media influencers tended to portray the glamorous rich lifestyle but never shed light on what it takes.
He said: “When I started off I had no capital and I had to work three jobs – totalling over 60 hours per week.
“I was only making about $3000 a month at the time and I had to save literally every penny.
“I would only spend money on the bills and take the rest for capital.
“I eventually found this side hustle that I could invest this money and I ended up taking a dramatic risk to grow it into a $100,000 per year income.”
However, Tan admitted taking a risk was only the beginning and persistence was the key.
He said: “After that I had to double down through investing in myself and I started a company, which I ended up taking to over more than $3million in sales and then selling it.
“The overall gist is that you have to work your ass off.
“I had to sacrifice so many different aspects of life, I had to literally say no to any social interactions for pretty much three years to get to where I am today.”
Another entrepreneur turned his life around in his late 20’s to go on to earn a whopping £80,000 a week.
One woman revealed that her successful racy side hustle was a “family business” – with both her mum and brother helping out in different ways.
