Samuel dropped out of school and started his online business
In school, Samuel felt he wasn't progressing the way he intended to and that's when he decided to start his online business, which at one point began to progress at an extreme rate. He told us that he had to choose one or the other because focus was very important for him. So, he dropped out of school and went for his new-found business.

Whilst people around Samuel did not support him and told him that it was a stupid decision, but for him, this just added fuel to the fire to prove them wrong. And that's what Samuel did. His commitment helped him carve his own path and pushed his limits to go ahead and create a successful business.

Mistakes shaped me to be the man I am: Samuel

Speaking about what triggered him to start a business, Samuel says that he always knew he was worth something. He calls it "Inspired by the fear of being average."
Samuel thanks the Law Of Attraction for his success
Even after facing many struggles along the way, Samuel, instead of giving up, chose to win and overcome all these struggles.
