Now Trending: SMU - START MYTH UNCOVERED Learn more: www.manujaggarwal.com MY STORY I grew up in a small town. A friendly child, my home was troubled. I withdrew into my shell, becoming aloof and angry. At age 15, I started working in a factory. I worked 12 hours/day with only $2 as a daily salary. A YEAR’S SALARY In 1995, a new computer institute threw its doors open in my town. Tuition was greater than a year’s salary, but I scraped together funds for the first class where I found my passion: Computers and Programming. I met my wife there, and we fell madly in love. Our marriage was disapproved of! Ultimately I had to run away from home with only a suitcase full of clothes. After our marriage, we traveled to Canada and started a new life. WHO I HELP I work with successful entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals who want to get more out of business and life. Going from $2/day to the boardrooms of Fortune 500 reinforced my belief that anything is possible. Let me show you how. WANT TO LEARN MORE? 🤝 Connect and send a private message
