Meet the young woman who dropped out of high school at 15 years old and made her first million dollars at just 23! Now she lives like a Queen.
This Woman Dropped Out Of School At 15, Made A Million By 23
#1 What makes this story different from previous success stories of dropouts, is how she managed to still become a self-made millionaire at a young age as a single mother.
Kate Stewart was only 15 years old when she dropped out of high school but her lack of diploma didn't stop her from becoming a millionaire. By the time she was 17, she was pregnant and hopeless, but that didn't stop her from dreaming!
#2 What gave her the motivation to break the poverty mold was the poor expectations everyone had for her, and she had to prove them wrong.
With a newborn baby to care for, Stewart, who's from Liverpool, England, says that it was everyone's poor expectations for her that served as her greatest motivation. Locals said, ‘you are going to claim benefits and have more kids.' Everyone wrote her off, which made her fight to prove them all wrong. She managed to get a part time secretarial job and then started taking classes to further her education.
#3 She finished school then put money away to start her business empire through a series of salons.
After earning enough money and skills to open a beauty salon, she gradually opened another, then another, until she had 10 salons throughout the area. By 23, Steward had make her first million dollars, thanks to the series of tanning shops and beauty salons that she owned. She eventually worked her way up the steep ladder and ended up running the Liverpool's Heritage Market. In addition, she invested her money in properties like pubs, beauty salons, and tanning shops.
#4 Now at 33 years old, Kate Stewart is definitely wealthier than she could have expected to be.
Not only does she work hard, but she plays hard as well. She has no problem dropping £1000 ($1500 US) a night for a hotel room. She even pre-orders clothes online so that they arrive to her destination before she does. That's one way to avoid carrying a suitcase, which she says only 'bogs her down'.
#5 Kate Stewart is definitely a living example of what it means to have the right attitude paired with hard work.
Stewart is definitely reaping the fruits of her labor, and she's not even embarrassed about her lavish spending lifestyle. ‘I have worked for everything I have got and I am proud of everything I buy,' she says. She also says that her items act like an ‘armour' for her and that it makes her feel more confident.
