I was born on 7th July 2002, in Montana USA. We were a family of four with my little brother Harold. My father who was a mechanical engineer, and my mother who was a nurse in a hospital. I’m just a regular kid who isn’t known for his achievement or talents. I’m not the worst kid in school neither the best but I always think further. My friends would see me thinking all the time rather than hanging out with the other kids. Because I’m not the “cool kids” and would often to be alone, I would regularly get beaten up by other kids.
One time I was surfing the internet just like what other regular kids would do, I was watching many videos about very successful people that made their dreams come true. I watched their backgrounds and their pasts about how did they become successful from the beginning, and I see most of them have talents that they had developed since their young age. And here I am, a regular 14 years old kid that does the same things as others. There’s no way that could become as successful as they are.
However, as usual, I was thinking, and this time I was thinking about those videos again. I still think that could never be as successful as they are, but maybe I can be successful too but not like them. So, I was thinking to start rather than just THINK! So, I was searching all over the internet on how to become successful and the deeper I see the more slumped I became. There are many things that I can do to become successful, but their many people also that has done it. So, I asked my father for some suggestion, then, he asked me “If there are many people that have done it, then why wouldn’t you do it?” then I said “Because many people have already done it so that I don’t have any chance to compete with them. If I was born earlier, maybe I would have the chance to do it.” But my father refused it by saying “Just because many people have already done it, doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t have the chance to compete against them. If you were born earlier, things were really hard to do such as accessing the internet.”
I took my fathers words, and this time I actually started to do it. I gather some of my friends that have the same goals. We made an e-commerce business website. With zero budget we put our effort as much as possible, we share our products through multiple social media. After one month we’ve made $15,000. All of my team was exhausted by these works, so they stop working and take their shares. I was really happy to gain some dollars, but I don’t think that I would stop here. So, I use that money to do some business courses, the courses really open my mind about business. I use the courses to make my first online store with my private labeled products.
It was really going well, I was making $120,000 per month! How insane that was. But that money didn’t really make me feel successful, I was missing something. Then I realized what it is, meaning, that’s what it is. I remembered that my goal of being successful wasn’t to make more money but to fulfill my dreams. So, I sold that company for 5,5 million dollars in cash plus the stocks and use that money to make my dreams into reality. My dream was to make renewable energy easier to make and make it more accessible. So, I tried to make the fusion nuclear energy. Rather than we do vision why don’t we do the fusion? But that’s the challenge. So, I tried to create the fusion nuclear energy and contain the energy. It didn’t work until my last dollar. I was a mess, I asked many inventors but they refused. Then one inventor came to me and gave us a small loan to do one last experiment. It was a huge success! My company is known everywhere. We’ve put our technology in various countries. And because of that, I became the 11th richest person known to mankind. My name is Scott Conner and I hope my story could inspire others.
