    Now its time for the hard graft. If your motivated enough, get a sales job that pays mostly commission (shouldnt be too hard) and just outsell your peers from the start. You'll quickly get a promotion if you show some promise, or maybe get an idea of your own to follow. that was my story from the same position as you 6 years ago and things turned out well

    I went from door to door cold selling, to setting up my own company for that product. With the money from that I got involved in real estate, and am now developing a $40m project in asia

    It all came down to motivation and a desire to succeed



    bluefever - if the advice ive given isn't concrete perhaps you could give your own wise words of motivation....
