    “In the first few months, I set a goal to make 100 cold calls to local businesses each day. We offered low-cost web development services, even as low as $200 for an entirely made-over, brand-new website. I knew that most of them wouldn’t even pick up and the ones that did would likely be short rejections, but I was not daunted.

    “In the first few months, I set a goal to make 100 cold calls to local businesses each day.

I knew that most of them wouldn’t even pick up and the ones that did would likely be short rejections, but I was not daunted. Because I also knew that if I gained even one client out of 100 calls, that would be a good day.”After arriving in the United States as a young boy, Wilbur You quickly realized he was meant to pursue something extraordinary. He built his very own free server for a popular RPG at 10 years old—before receiving a cease and desist letter from the developers. Starting his first in a string of businesses when he was 18 years old, You followed his determination to shake up the marketing world. Four years later, with a $600 investment and two other employees, You built a marketing agency that would revolutionize the industry. In his memoir, Happy. Humble. Motivated., You chronicles his successes, his failures, and the life lessons he along the way. Despite all the obstacles of starting a business, You remained motivated and humbled, and that’s how he found success and happiness. Wilbur You built a $20 million company in 6 years, proving that with hard work, passion, and no shortage of good ideas, even those who come from humble beginnings can build an empire.
