Adam Derring, un empresario británico, contó en su Instagram la historia de cómo en 2002 dejó su trabajo para emprender su negocio propio. En esa época un banco le negó un préstamo porque “era bastante joven y sin experiencia comercial”.

Sin embargo, con los ahorros abrió una oficina sin escritorio ni silla, y sentado en el piso y con un teléfono fue materializando su sueño de tener su empresa de gestión de deuda.

Big thanks to @ladbible for writing this story. 🙌🏻 . . So last week I bought the bank building where I got knocked back for a loan at 21 years old! 🙌🏻😂 . . So when I was a broke ass 21 year old I had a dream to work for myself and setup my own business! 👍🏻 . . I created a business plan, made an appointment with the bank manager to speak about setting up and account and getting a business loan, before I went into the bank I prayed as I had zero cash and had no idea how I would realise my dream without it. 💯 . . I sat down with my fingers and toes crossed and the woman who was the bank manager took my business plan went through it quickly and in a really patronisingly tone said the problem is Adam you are a bit young and you have no business experience. This isn’t something we can do at this stage. 🤦🏻‍♂️😫 . . My heart sank, I felt humiliated, frustrated and sad. I had no plan B. 💔 😢 . . I had already quit my job and had managed to scrape enough money together to pay the first quarters rent and I got a phone-line off BT which was on 30 days credit terms. . . I didn’t have any money to buy a desk or chair so as a result I spent 4 months on the floor with the phone off BT and the Thompson Local. 😊 . . No marketing budget, no Google or Social media to even advertise in, just a burning desire to succeed! 🔥 . . So I bought the bank building where they declined me for the £10K business loan! 🙌🏻 . . For me this was a great day! 🤩 . . Remember your current situation is never your final destination! ✊🏻💪🏻 . . #findtheaction

Ahora, Adam vendió su compañía por 23 mil millones de pesos, pues tiene otras funcionando bien. Y como una lección de superación, el británico decidió comprar el banco que un día le negó prestarle $ 46 millones. Pagó por esta $ 2200 millones.
