From Teenage Entrepreneur to Inspiring a Million Young People Globally: Empowering Your Students to Dream Big
Imagine a 14-year-old boy who starts a business in his local community, driven by a desire to make a difference and a hunger for success. That boy was me, Sabirul Islam. Today, I’m a global entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker for schools who has inspired over a million young people across 31 countries. My journey from a humble East London neighborhood to international stages is proof that with the right mindset, determination, and guidance, any student can achieve greatness.
My Story: A Journey of Resilience, Ambition, and Success
At the age of 14, I launched my first business, designing websites for local businesses. By 16, I had learned to trade in the stock market. But it wasn’t always easy. I faced countless challenges, from navigating the business world as a teenager to overcoming scepticism from those who doubted my potential.
Yet, it was these very challenges that fuelled my determination. By 17, I published my first book, “The World at Your Feet: Turning Your Vision into Reality,” which sold over 42,500 copies in 9 months, this opened the doors for me to become a motivational speaker for schools. I’ve since developed The Teen-Trepreneur Board Game, which has been played by over 300,000 young people, and launched the Inspire1Million, a campaign that has motivated over a million young people to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams in 31 countries worldwide.
