What each of these entrepreneurs also have in common is the fact that they all have shown resilience and a refusal to give up.

Luc Longmire, Forex and Network Marketing

Luc Longmire has long believed in the idea that no one else should be able to determine his worth, tell him when he needs to show up to work, take lunch, and so on. He wants to be in full control of his destiny, and today he is able to do just that. He day trades forex and crypto currency, and couples that by introducing this craft to thousands of hopeful entrepreneurs around the globe. To get to where he is at today, however, Luc has overcome hard times and mental struggles to find massive success. As a young adult, he developed an unfortunate addiction to painkillers after being prescribed to them after surgery. He ultimately wound up serving time in jail as a result of his dealing drugs, but his life all changed during his time there. He discovered "Think and Grow Rich", and knew that he had what it took to become financially stable and turn his life around.

After rehabilitation, Luc took a position at Lowe's and quickly took a promotion to become a manager. He leveraged this experience to become a manager at a Gold's Gym, and became an experienced salesman during his time there. All of this experience prepared him to take full advantage of the opportunity to work in forex and network marketing when the venture was proposed to him. The saying that luck is where opportunity meets preparation certainly held true in this situation, as Luc's recent experience managing a gym and selling its services prepared him to thrive in a marketing position at the company while he mastered trading currencies. Luc's life today is far from average. He spends a lot of his time traveling the globe preaching the beauty of day trading, and puts his spiritual well being first as he tries to make the memories that make his soul rich.

Nick Rogers, Business Driven Dream

Business Driven Dream looks like a business education powerhouse on social media, but it was founded by one man, 20 year old Nick Rogers. Nick had a vision to follow his passion and put his skills to work in his own venture. In October of 2018, BDD was founded on the idea of building a meaningful entity that will leave a massive impact on the industry, and not out of the interest of making a quick and easy profit at the expense of others. Utilizing his marketing skills he gained while running a dropshipping venture, Nick scaled the page to 100k followers organically in just 4 short months. It was becoming more and more apparent that Rogers' decision to drop out of the University of Pittsburgh after just 2 months was the perfect decision.

Fast forward to today, and BDD has a strong presence on both Instagram and Twitter, with a website just recently launching. The website features articles from contributors, current business news, and courses curated by industry leaders catered to anyone regardless of experience. Within the next few years, the BDD website has the potential to become an industry leader in the business education niche and leave an impact on people by the thousands. With all of the networking Rogers has done growing his brands' social media presence, he has made some dynamic connections. This networking has lead him to a new venture with a partner, Pvsted Media. Pvsted is a marketing agency that specializes in growing brands on social media for clients, which Nick is undoubtedly well versed and experienced in. In 2019, growing a personal brand is essential to finding success in any industry, and Nick is looking to solve this problem with Pvsted. With BDD and Pvsted Media on full tilt moving forward, it would be hard to say that Nick Rogers won't become a force in the industry in the near future.

Jerome Clarah, Forex and FreeMinds

Jerome Clarah has always sought balance. He always saw a lot of people with money and no time to enjoy it, and people who had plenty of time but no money to have at their leisure. Seeing this, Clarah knew he wanted to find a way to have a balance between the two. As a result, he picked up a venture in the forex markets. Over the past 3 plus years, he's been growing his income trading and has become a leader in the affiliate marketing industry.

FreeMinds focuses on helping clients build their brand through photography, videography, website building, and consulting. The company is still in the startup phase, and Jerome is taking his time to ensure that it's set up perfectly for launch so that as he scales, the company will still be able to bring massive value the same way that it currently does with its small client base. On his success thus far, Jerome said that surrounding himself with people who share a common future rather than a common past is critical to leveling up and being pushed to your limits. So far, that strategy has clearly been paying off for him.

Jake Havron, Personal Wellness Coach

Jake Havron has always had a passion for fitness and physical wellness. With both playing college basketball and being a nursing major, he was constantly immersed in fitness and health science. After playing for a Hawaii pro basketball team that eventually folded, Jake was initially devastated. But, it ended up being a blessing in disguise, and lead to a major paradigm shift in his life. He began following his dream of being a personal trainer, and he started to realize that helping people stay healthy enough to stay out of the hospital would be much more rewarding than working as a nurse in a hospital helping people that are just looking to get back to full health. He began pouring his heart out into his work, helping clients physically, mentally, and emotionally. He didn't even feel like he was working at all, which only confirmed to him that this is what he was meant to do.

One day, Jake had another major life shift come in the form of a new client. A woman in a wheelchair came in seeking his service, and he was able to help her see amazing results in a short time frame.

By being an entrepreneur, he has been able to be in control of his life and his career, knowing he can work tirelessly on his purpose and passions.
