What are you working on? How did you come up with this idea? <\/span><\/h3>\n

Building people\u2019s company and personal brands. I am passionate about helping others and this is what I am best at. Working with Gary Vaynerchuk helped coming up with the idea but I have been adding value to people since I was 14(my first business)<\/span><\/p>\n

How is your company different? <\/span><\/h3>\n

I am an immigrant. I have an extremely strong work ethic and drive. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream with your company? <\/span><\/h3>\n

Build something that lasts long past I am gone.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you creatively advertise? <\/span><\/h3>\n

On social media, speaking, podcasts<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there shortcuts to success? <\/span><\/h3>\n

Absolutely not! This is the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever do but the truly successful do not stay satisfied. They have a very strong work ethic and they visualize everything until it happens. <\/span><\/p>\n

What were your biggest failure and biggest success? What did you learn from them?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Where do I start. Biggest failure, launching 4 companies that failed by the time I was 17. Losing every dollar I had. Having $50.13 in my bank account once. Throughout it all, I envisioned everything I wanted. I knew I was doing the right things and taking the right steps. I stayed consistent and worked hard and throughout the journey(which is still going), I built a six figure company in under a year and worked with some of the top brands and personalities in the world. Biggest success if also the hardest thing for me to talk about. I got runner-up 2 years in a row for entrepreneur of the year at the largest collegiate entrepreneurs organization in the world. It was more about proving it to myself than anything. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
