I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine, a few
years ago. He reminisced about his first steps towards becoming an
entrepreneur and recounted the number of visits he made, as a young
man, to various banks trying to get them to extend facilities to
help finance his fledgling property business. The visits were
numerous and with each appointment he would measure how many
minutes it took before he was politely ushered out of the door.
Today, he is the CEO and major shareholder of a multi-million
property development company with projects in all the major cities
across the globe.
What changed the course of his career catapulting him from
obscurity to the jet-set lifestyle that he enjoys today was quite
simply, access to funds and a sound, scalable business idea.
