Olivia Ansell has been a successful entrepreneur since she was 10 years old, an age where unexpected tragedy sparked her unparalleled story of survival and success. As a young girl forced out onto the streets of Uganda, a side effect of an unforgiving African family structure, Olivia had to learn nearly overnight what it would take to thrive in a place that seemed to have the odds stacked high against her. But her incredible ability to recognize the significance of whatever little she had and use it to her advantage has since helped Olivia become the resourceful business owner she is today, starting multiple businesses in the U.S. and abroad that have collectively grossed millions of dollars in revenue. In this book, Olivia writes to anyone with the desire to start a business with little to no capital, no formal education, and a surrounding environment that says you shouldn't be able to succeed.
Drawing on her own experiences as an immigrant turned international entrepreneur, Olivia shows how we can all use the resources available to us to capitalize on valuable opportunities, no matter how meager our circumstance or muddy our past. With simple ideas forming the basis of every business in existence, Olivia teaches us how to find those ideas for ourselves, validate our dreams, and eventually transform our goals into meaningful returns worthy of building wealth and a lasting legacy. Olivia's multi-million dollar entrepreneurial mindset was one born of necessity and bred of hunger, but in Starved for Success, she demonstrates through vibrant storytelling, the possibility for anyone to create successful businesses across varying climates. To bear witness to Olivia's extraordinary journey is to watch the American Dream operate in the flesh. You may think that you don't have enough time, money, or support to become a millionaire entrepreneur, but Olivia Ansell is a woman of action and here to teach you that you already have everything you'll need to get started.
