The story of a homeless man who turned into a billionaire
This is the story of a man who was once homeless but turned out to be one of the best entrepreneur success stories of all time. ????????
John Paul Dejoria was born in Los Angeles and was raised by a single mother. He experienced poverty all throughout his childhood and by the time he was 11, his mother gave him up to foster care as she couldn’t provide for him anymore. Growing up alone, Dejoria knew he had no way but to go up. ????
He was broke all throughout his 20s and was homeless twice. The first time he was homeless, he had a son to care for too. After breaking down all those barriers, he still had other challenges. He was fired twice from hair care production companies but he learnt something far more valuable, THE BUSINESS. ????
After putting together all his savings, he had $700 for his own hair care line startup. Once he took the first step, he never looked back. ????????
Despite so many rejections, he worked hard selling his products door to door until finally he had a breakthrough. Before he even knew it, Paul Mitchell hair products were in every saloon across the country. Now he’s a billionaire and owns Patrón tequila too. ☄????
