Hour 104: How To Make It In America

HOUR 104: Open For Business podcast. Episode #5: How To Make It In America. 

In America 13% of the population are immigrants, however if you look at the top 500 companies in America, it’s quite disproportional, 40% are owned by immigrants or the children of immigrants. 

Which begs the question WHY, and leads me onto my takeaway point.

When immigrants arrived in America (or Australia) they were prepared to take on any type of work to get food on the table, however after a period of time they realised that if they have to mop floors, they may as well do it for themselves…and this is the start of their entrepreneurial spirit. 

In addition to this, most immigrants start their entrepreneurial journey on a lean budget, therefore they learn the discipline and respect of money, and this is information is past onto their children. 

This is why many immigrants, who start their own business, will have children that follow their path and eventually work for themselves and create their own paths.
