Where to start..
The Story behind my vision.
My father, Mark was an otherworldly entrepreneur. Since we are naturally Ukrainan, my father chose to work stationed in the Czech Republic close to home. While I went to school here and lived with my mother, he was off making millions; always talking about the assets we were acquiring, and how well we were doing. Last I remember we were over the 100 Million range, he bought himself a Rolls Royce Phantom, my Mother an S550, and a Bentley Continental GT. Things were amazing, we had lots of apartments over the world; ridiculous vacations, ect.
The downside was that he had heart problems- and since he had to fly from country to country every week multiple times; he overworked himself into a stroke. He was comatose for over a year, and when he came out of it he was paralyzed, confined to a bed; with the inability to speak correctly- but no sign of memory loss, or brain damage. He is fully cognitive, just physically dysfunctional.
His business partners who were in a partnership together managed to actually hire a crooked lawyer, forge his signature, and obtain power of attorney over him. They seized all funds, and stopped our monthly income. My mother has borrowed 30,000$ from a friend to try to obtain power of attorney back but she was unsuccessful as no one would hear her out.
Facing multimillionaire crooked businessmen; we had no chance with 30,000$ and we have no one in the country to help us. We still manage to live on barely covering for food, insurance, and mortgage but we are literally being robbed of hundreds of millions. I only turned 18 in September, so I've never had the legal power to try to make a difference myself, but this is what motivates me, I want to obtain my acquisitions before there is no trace left, or those men disappear.
Motivation.
Since I was young I have filled out 3 passports, I've seen so much of this world already. Experiencing things I never thought imaginable, and knowing what a higher society has to offer. But going through the process of seeing the world turn upside down for me- made me think years above my age. I am a very cognitive person, I put a lot of planning and thought into anything I do because the lessons life has taught me so well; that is why at my age I was able to successfully open and close a business. I used to compete in the IGSA World Cup for Downhill Longboarding. So I successfully manage to create and export trucks from a Aluminum CNC factory located in Israel, and make a profit, to make it short. I sold my company to buy my first car almost exactly a year ago.
Where I am now:
Well right now I am in the process of liquidating my unnecessary luxury acquisitions and building a base sum of money, hopefully around 10,000 - 50,0000$ / or maybe 100,000- 200,000$ depending what I convince my mother to sell, mixed with my own belongings vs. what I am actually allowed to take to try to save my family (in essence what my mother trusts me with.). To pump into a business, taking what most people would call a huge risk, but hey that's what entrepreneurs do, don't they?
I currently have a 350z I drive to school every day. Since I am naturally an artistic person, I wanted to add my own flair to the car; because I like being unique. I redid the body work to it, added carbon fiber accessories, ect. I wanted to repaint the color of my car, but I could not afford it; and it would be a silly thing to do in a situation such as mine.
I got in touch with a Vinyl Manufacturer, Hexis and talked to a nice lady on the phone about pricing on their vinyl material, because it was much cheaper and higher quality stuff then pardon my language, the bullshit overpriced garbage they sell on the internet today. I could not decide a color, so the lady mailed out a nice template of over 180 colors to me.
Me and my girlfriend just settled for Matte black and we bought some material to vinyl her car to practice and learn how to correctly apply vinyl material to cover a car. (Essentially Vinyling a car is like painting over it, except with an elastic material that you can rip off at any time. Protects from scratches, keeps the paint new, ect.) we then applied to to my 350Z, and one of my friends with a 75,000$ Audi S5 wanted me to do his car too. I offered that I would do it for 2,000$; which still leads me with a 1,400$ profit minus time, and effort spent on my part. Word got around, and I started advertising on forums a bit; so currently I am doing jobs here and there to make sure we can afford living.
Of course I manage to do this in a very professional manner. Through Hexis, I give people the templates, for the best color selection anyone has to offer; It's a custom order so I make my customers let me know two weeks ahead of time. I stock up in popular colors, mainly Matte Black.
Soon I am vinyling my Bentley, and I already contacted a model to have some professional shots that I will use for advertisement. From then on out further legalizing it into an actual business, just to summarize of course.
But thats what I have to balance in between trying to pay for school, supporting myself, trying to help my family, and ultimately getting back what belongs to my family.
I am lost on where to even begin, and this is the first step I am taking to hopefully get some money together, I want to work on bigger measures; but this is the only thing being 18 with no 'ins' into businesses can get me.
This is why I signed up here. Hopefully for some guidance, or at least some intelligent minds to work with. I live in Northern Jersey, if anyone would like to talk; shoot me a message.
Thanks for your time,
Leon
