Millionaire at 14 Farrah Gray, a self-made millionaire by age 14, recognizes there"s more to richness than money alone. Not too many people become entrepreneurs, published authors, producers and philanthropists in their lifetime. But don"t tell that to Farrah Gray. Gray"s rise in the business world is an unlikely story. Growing up poor on Chicago"s Southside, Gray said he used to dream he would one day look from his office onto the streets of Manhattan. He dreamed of giving speeches that would inspire millions and making enough money to ensure that his mother didn"t have to work two jobs. It didn"t take Gray very long to _______. At age 14, Gray became a self-made millionaire when his company, Farr-Out Foods, which specialized in food targeted at young people, gained more than $1.5 million in sales. Shortly after, Gray sold his company for more than $1 million, but has continued working to inspire others with his success. Gray"s entrepreneurial spirit was developed at a young age. He started his first business at age 6, selling homemade lotion door to door. Gray said he experienced a thrill from selling something he helped create and was instantly hooked. "Ideas are the most precious thing that can come to you. Every big idea starts out small," he said. Since age 12, Gray has toured the United States sharing his experiences with audiences. Gray tells audiences that it is important to"believe in yourself when no one else will." He has always made a great effort to inspire others to follow in his footsteps of success. His philosophy is "success is a process that must be taken step by step." He details these steps in his bestselling book, Reallionaire, which has made its way onto www.Amazon.com"s bestseller list. An important staple of Gray"s career has been his emphasis on philanthropy. His basic belief is, "The more you have, the more you should give." | |||||||
