What would you describe as your biggest achievement so far? I feel my biggest achievement to date was getting booked to speak internationally. I went home, told my friends and family and they were
in as much shock as I was. My Dad then turned round and told me that he was proud of me, that meant more to me than the booking in Paris!
What do you like the most about being an entrepreneur?
The best thing about being an entrepreneur for me has to be the fact that I can control my future. I used to worry a lot about what I would do for a career whilst at school as I didn’t fit into the educational system, but business really suited me and my skill-set as it allowed me to take control of my future and have a greater impact on my life and of those around me.
What is the best piece of advice you have received so far? Best piece of advice? Surround yourself with the right people. I once heard this quote, “Your income is the average of the 5 people that you spend the most time with.”
SABIRUL ISLAM CEO of The World at Your Feet Twitter: @Sabirul_Islam
Tells us a little bit about your business The World at Your Feet consists of small enterprises such as ‘Teen- Speakers,’ which has young speakers aged 16-25- delivering half & full day youth enterprise events. Teen-Publishers, an online book publishing firm and the Teen-Trepreneur Board Game, designed to educate youth about running a business and managing money.
What would describe as your biggest achievement so far? I feel that having sold 42,500 copies of my book in 9 months was an amazing achievement. I had to speak at 379 events of which 333 were schools, colleges and universities to be able to generate sales of 42,500.
What do you like the most about being an entrepreneur? That opportunities are endless! It’s fantastic that you do something from literally out of nothing! It gets you to think in such creative and innovative ways, which others thought were not possible!
Most importantly the freedom to do what you want, when you want and how you want! That is so amazing! And
yes...Making money which you’ve worked so hard to earn. There is always a sense of pride when there are huge rewards after you’ve worked extremely hard!
