What is inside
Here’s How I Did It! Vol 2 brings together the personal journeys, professional experiences, and hard-earned lessons of experts from around the world. Rather than presenting success as a single formula, the book shows how different individuals responded to setbacks, recognised opportunities, made difficult choices, and developed approaches that worked within their own circumstances.
Across the chapters, readers encounter stories about entrepreneurship, business growth, leadership, personal transformation, marketing, professional development, decision-making, purpose, resilience, and reinvention. The authors share both the challenges they encountered and the strategies, perspectives, and actions that helped them move forward.
The book also explores how achievement is often shaped by experiences that are rarely visible from the outside. From failed launches and career transitions to building businesses, redefining success, discovering personal strengths, and learning through uncertainty, each story offers a different perspective on what progress can require.At its core, the collection is designed to shorten the learning curve by allowing readers to learn from the experiences of people who have already navigated demanding personal and professional journeys.
This book is for entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, aspiring leaders, students, and readers interested in personal development and real-world success stories.
It is particularly relevant to those seeking practical inspiration from lived experience and looking to understand how resilience, learning, decision-making, and consistent action can contribute to meaningful personal and professional growth.
Excerpt
From “From Painting Mailboxes to Building My Own Empire -- Totally Debt-Free! — Mike Momb”
Hi. My name is Mike and I am a serial entrepreneur.
To know how we have gotten to where we are, it is helpful to review the journey.
I first got hooked when I was a teenager, in the early 1970s, where our family lived in a small single-family tract house in the Spokane Valley of Washington. As an eighth grader I had totally aced my middle school Mechanical Drawing class, and had developed some fairly decent architectural lettering skills.
At 13, I noticed our mailbox did not have our name or address on it, so I invested my allowance savings into some good paint and a couple of brushes and painted our information on the box.
Standing back to admire my work, I realized others could use the same service. When I wasn’t playing baseball, I spent the balance of my summer riding my bike from neighborhood to neighborhood, plying my trade door-to-door. At $1.50 for one side or $2.50 for both sides, I could pocket $10 an hour!
My father and his five brothers were all framing contractors, helping to construct homes, apartment and commercial buildings in the greater Spokane area. Once I was old enough to drive, my summers became filled with working for them, or others, in the construction trades. Upon high school graduation, it was off to architecture school where my ideal dream of designing practical and cost effective buildings was dashed by professors whose mindsets were of having edifices to their creativity erected!
Seeing this was not going to be a fit, and becoming the head of a rapidly growing family of my own, it was back to the realities of swinging a hammer to feed my brood. After a few weeks I quickly remembered why it was I despised working for the contractor who had rehired me. One of my friends was employed at a business assembling prefabricated wood roof trusses and suggested I apply. I went by on morning coffee break one day, put in an application and they asked if I could start then – to which I replied, “How about after lunch?”
My new position was to run a pivoting radial arm saw cutting components for trusses. I had some advantages going in to the position, as I had a healthy respect for saws, having spent one of my summers running a similar saw cutting every piece of lumber for a multi-story two building medical complex.
