CHAPTER 1 THE MAKING OF A MILLIONAIRE ENTREPRENEUR

up for my $80 workshops. After I finished the workshop, I
realized that I had made over $24,000 in pure profit for just
three days work!

Charged with the confidence of success, I went full force into
marketing my program to many schools in Singapore, charging
students $20 for a one-day workshop and packing my
workshops with a minimum of 100 students each time. As an
undergraduate, I was making close to $2,000 a day, more
than what my college professors were earning! By the age of
26, two years after graduation, I had created a net worth of
over $1 million by successfully investing the money I had
earned through my training and mobile disco businesses.

At this time, I realized that it was possible to start a million-
dollar business with zero capital. All it took was looking for
opportunities within problems to be solved, being highly
resourceful and using the power of leverage!

Building a Multi-Million Dollar Business System

The next major breakthrough I experienced was making the
transition from self-employed to business owner.

The majority of entrepreneurs in the market are not really
business owners. Rather, they are self-employed professionals.
When you are self-employed, you are generally a one-man
show, selling your time for money. In other words, you have
to be constantly the one who is making the product or providing
the service. Without you, the company does not exist.

The problem with being self-employed is that there is a limit
as to how big your company can grow. Since you are doing
all the work and have limited time and energy, there is a limit
to the amount of sales and profits you can ever generate.
