He said, \u201cSuccess to me now is bigger than just having money. Of course, I want my business to continue growing, but success is also being able to look back and see that I created something from what I had.\u201d<\/p>\n
The entrepreneur, who lost both parents at different stages of his life, said there were several points in his journey when he could have settled for what he had achieved, but his desire for self-improvement kept him moving. <\/p>\n

\u201cEven at 27, I don\u2019t feel like I have arrived yet. I\u2019m proud of how far I have come, but I still have much bigger things I want to achieve,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n
