For my extra blog post I wanted to give some brief background on my mentor since he is only twenty five years old and since his story is quite interesting.
His name is Alex Ahmed and he is from Egypt, he is 25 years old and he is the owner of a kiosk at Ontario Mills mall where I do my mentorship. So when he was around 20 yrs old he started his first business in Egypt as a broker where people would go to him to sell houses, car, electronics, etc. He had a Facebook page dedicated to this where people would meet via the internet. When he turned 24 he came to America with now job or American education. He was very broke at the time, so with help from his family oversees he started a small business of creams that belonged to his sister at Ontario Mills. This business was steady up about 4 months in when sales dropped. He then changed the products he was selling to toys. Sales have been steady since and he has opened another kiosk in Irvine where he sells the same products.
