Kam was brought up in a poor country, India, where he grew up in the ghetto part of town and in poverty.
Kam went to school in the States and became a Certified Public Accountant. He got a regular, 9-5 job but after doing some research he realized that many successful people don’t have 9-5 jobs, they were entrepreneurs.
As an immigrant Kam never loved writing, and never thought he would be good at it. All of a sudden he had this sudden urge to write so he took action. After picking it up, he excelled and became a best-selling author of many of his books. He’s now a coach, a writer and continues to write books on mental performance, speed reading, concentration and memory.
So far he’s written 9 books and launched several online courses. To me, Kam is a philosopher with deep intelligence and in this episode you will pick up so many insightful entrepreneurial tips!
Quotes by Kam
India is one of the poorest countries Iāve ever been to.
There is part of India that is known to be the ghetto, or the poor of India, and thatās really where Iām from.
But the ones that were doing extremely well, I found that necessarily didnāt go to college or even high school.
There is something to be said about starting your own business, because the upside potential is almost limitless.
Thereās so much good advice out there.
Relationships and mentorship is really everything.
Thereās so much we could cut down on our learning curve and our struggle if we just have somebody to show us a path.
A lot of our wants arenāt for the thing itself, but for the status that our unconscious feels itās going to give us.
Donāt let that voice in your head that says: āBecause youāre an immigrant or that youāre different, that you canāt.ā That voice is false.
You are enough to start any business you need to.
As long as you build the relationships and the network and have some guidance and mentors under you, the skyās the limit.
