How I went from living in a third-world country to one of the most expensive cities in the world

As surprising as it must be, a few years ago, I had a job where I earned a fixed amount of $200 as a salary, and the rest of my income depended on how much I could sell.?

I worked really hard at that job for 18 months, but the most I ever made in a month was $800.

Because my mind almost never stops thinking, one day I shared some strategies with my boss on how we can make the business more profitable.

And guess what? They didn't take me seriously and basically said, "You're always dreaming big" and “Your mind is always in the skies.”

So, you know what I did? I quit that job and used those same strategies to start my own business.

Soon, I went from making just $200 a month and living in a third-world country to being able to stay in luxury hotels in cities like Dubai and being able to afford to live there for as long as I wanted.

But I'm not here to boast about my success. Here's how you can achieve the same:

1. Don't let small-minded people discourage your dreams

No one will believe in your vision unless you make it happen. Don't expect others to share your passion or see it as possible.

2. You don't have to take the path of most resistance?

As high-achieving entrepreneurs, we often think that the most difficult path will bring the greatest rewards. Instead, look for the easiest way to achieve your goal.?

If I had kept working tirelessly and selling average-priced services, I would never have succeeded. Working harder doesn't always lead to success. Ask yourself, "How can I achieve my goal in the simplest way?"

3. Trust your instincts

I should have left my job sooner, but fear held me back. You have to take a leap in faith and believe in yourself rather than waiting for the perfect time.?

A better time may or may not come, but waiting will only waste your time and lead to regrets.

Remember, be UN-Average & stubborn in your pursuit of success.
