MillionaireMatch.com Shares The Rags To Riches Story Of Britain's Thriftiest Multi-Millionaire
(PRWEB) September 30, 2014 -- While it is true that some people achieve Millionaire status by chance, the vast majority of these people got to where they are by good old-fashioned hard work. One of the things that sets highly successful people apart from others is their work ethic. MillionaireMatch.com is the meeting place of choice for these people, and they have just published an excellent Forbes Magazine story about one of those hard working people.
The Mark Pearson story from Forbes on Aug 30th, 2014 is very inspiring, and a fascinating read. He started out as the “Little Guy”, and made the right moves, took some chances, and rose to the top of the success pyramid. Success has not spoiled this entrepreneur, in fact, it has made him more curious about how far he can push the envelope. Pearson’s own journey from council flat to country pile has made him famous in the UK, where having ideas above your station is becoming increasingly rare. In a climate like this, a tale like Pearson’s seems almost astonishing; the sort of thing one hears about in America, but certainly not on these hidebound, class-bound shores.
The dating site for wealthy men and women and their admirers MillionaireMatch.com reports that after several entrepreneurial successes, Mark Pearson made a move that would change his life forever. He wisely observed the success of Coupon sites in America, and though it would work in the UK as well. When he launched a website, he never dreamed of the run-away success that was to follow. Launched in 2006, just before the credit crunch and the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the project struck a chord with austerity Britain. Mark said: “We went from £300,000 turnover one year to £1million the next year. It was £3 million the year after, then £5 million and £10 million – all at a 50 percent property margin. Not bad.”
One would think selling up for about $100 million would be a crowning achievement. But this businessman’s proudest moment was not signing that monumental deal; neither was it winning the prestigious Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2011. His life-defining moment was buying both his mother and sister homes of their own. “My mum spends half the year in her new house and the other half on the beach in Barbados,” he beams. This is the mark of a man that should inspire everybody.
