UKAUS Pty: The Entrepreneurial Dream is Far From Dead

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, December 16, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The entrepreneurial dream is currently under attack. With bank lending still struggling to recover after the recession and opportunities to gain experience also appearing to be on the decline, many would be forgiven for thinking the current entrepreneurial outlook is bleak, with the idea that a business can be created from nothing seeming impossible. American Presidential candidate Donald Trump was recently ridiculed for stating that his own entrepreneurial journey was far from easy, and referred to the $1 million loan his father gave him to start his empire as a 'small loan'. This admission despite being absurd paints a worrying picture of the current state of entrepreneurship across the globe. If Trump, with access to his father's wide range of business connections and healthy start-up capital still claims to have found the entrepreneurial experience tough, what hope is there for those wanting to pursue entrepreneurship with nothing?

Jason Mercado
Whilst he may be far from entering the Forbes 'Rich List', Jason Mercado's story of how he built up a successful career from nothing is hugely inspiring and aspirational. During the economic downturn Mercado found himself laid off and living in a homeless shelter. Instead of dwelling on the seriousness of his situation Mercado focused on turning his life around and used his entrepreneurial spark to launch a baking business. Despite facing a lot of doubt from others, Mercado persevered and eventually found a local conference centre that allowed him to use their kitchens. After spending many hours marketing his business, handing out free samples and sharing his brand story Mercado was able to build up a following and launch 'Just Cookies' a baked confectionary business which helped him get off the streets.

Michael Rubin
Rubin didn't come from a well off, business background. His first shot at business came when he was 8 years old, when he took the decision to sell vegetable seeds to neighbours, organise local kids into a snow-shovelling business, and print and sell his own stationary. His next business venture came when Rubin was 12, when he set up a ski shop in his parent's basement, purchasing stock with the money he had saved from his previous odd jobs. Rubin's ski business grew over the years to launch in five locations. Rubin continued to grow his empire by launching athletic equipment store KPR Sport and branching out to ecommerce with GSI Commerce, a site specialising in sporting goods.
