Hi Folks, last time I talked about opportunity and how it helps you get your own business but, the KOW triangle has 2 more important factors, willpower, and knowledge.

Today I will share with you all a little but true story about how Jake made a small empire out of nothing but his Iron Will.

I try to impersonate Jake and take his life examples into the online world, that is how I managed to Start my own online business.

Jake is a remarkable fella, since young, has shown signs of leadership and talent for business. In childhood (while playing) he used to run a repair and washing garage, and no car left the garage without paying for the service ...

Iron Will or Workaholic

He was a hard-working young man, and no day or night passed by he wouldn't go to his father factory.
He knew the factory from the inside out, he been playing/working there since his 13's...
His father was a successful businessman and made him work as a helper in almost every sector of the factory.

At age of 17, at his father request, he started to run, along with his father this 200+ employees factory.

The factory was producing more than ever since Jake was there, he was a natural manager. He cut on unnecessary expenses, made better contracts with suppliers by paying on delivery, made the life of some "old school" engineers and top employees Hard by dealing with them "in a short leash", an example he prohibited the abuse of factory resources like for example fueling the cars on Friday afternoon...

All was going smoothly with this young man, he had a wonderful life, he could do a lot with a few bucks so he started to put a good amount of money on the side.

Dark days are coming

But dark days are coming to Jake's life, one day his father called him and accused him of robbery, he said: "with the life you are living you must be stealing from me!" From this day forward you are prohibited to enter this facility, your cousin will take your place in the administration.

Jake never took a single dime out of his father, and that injustice hit him like an anvil. He always made everything within his grasp to please and help his father.

After leaving the factory, he went home with a "hiden" tear in his eyes and talked to his mother, they didn't have "a great" relationship so she took his father side... and reinforced the idea that Jake was stealing...

Jake took a backpack, took the money he had, and left the house for good... He entered a bus to a 1700 miles away country. A had to learn a different language, different culture, the only good thing was, he had his older sister living there... wonder why...

The new Beginning

Crying on the long trip away from home he swore he would make it and he set a goal to himself, that for the rest of his life he would put aside 500 bucks/month.

(Just a heads up, he fulfilled that promise, not on a monthly basis but in average probably until the rest of his life)

After visiting his sister for a couple of hours, a hot meal and empty his mind, Jake started to search for a job. He knew how to dress properly and how to address people in a polite way, after all, he was a silver spoon.

Every time he went out searching for a job, he did it with an immaculate presentation, and after a couple of days on the run, he grabbed a job, work in a "dirty" kitchen of a 5-star hotel feeding the dishwashing machine.

This was the best that could happen to Jake... but not without his IRON WILL

Part II will cover Jakes ascension starting with dishwashing passing by driver, Room Service, Maître d'hotel all the way up to Hotel Auditor, Catering Executive Chef to successful self-made man, stay tunned.

Great post Pedro, anxiously waiting for part two.

I'm trying to guess names of famous hoteliers already!

He is not internationally known, he is a very well established person with a master degree in hotelery & tourism.
He is also a very good and close friend, almost a father to me.

Cheers
Pedro
