I'm Anthony Tranchida and this is what I do.
I build businesses and help others do the same.
My work takes me on some very
interesting adventures. I get to work
alongside the best people in their field.
Any given day could mean traveling across
country last minute to pitch a new shoe
brand, or finding a talented businessman
who sells gourmet hot dogs in my own backyard.
Growing up, I would sketch product
concepts and have an endless list of
business ideas.
When I was 16, I started my first real
business selling rubber bracelets.
Manufactured to poke fun at ***
holistic healing. By far the worst
business idea I've ever had.
I spent thousands of dollars on rubber
and sold ten I'm being optimistic.
To my family that is. While executing all these
mediocre business ideas, I worked for a
few fortune 500 companies. Like many
others, I wasn't in love with the idea of
a 9-to-5. But I had the fear of losing
stability.
The "What Ifs" of failing as a business
owner weighed heavily on me. I needed a
push. That push landed me in some trouble and
caused quite a bit of setbacks. I was
arrested from Apple for trying to cheat
the system.
I've always seen the loopholes and flaws
in things but I never executed.
Now i know why. I was sentenced to a year
on house arrest and this literally broke
me. I was the point of giving up, but I
didn't show this on the outside. If
there's one thing I learned from my past,
it's that you can't feel sorry for yourself,
and yes, you *** deserved it. I picked myself
back up, and my drive to be successful soared.
Nobody's going to stop me. Not even me.
I definitely got the push that I needed.
In a way, I'm thankful I learned this
lesson so early in life. I've grown so much
since then. I can honestly say, I wouldn't
be where I am today without my failures.
I learned so much from Apple and can't
deny how great of a company they are to
work for. Everybody has to learn for
themselves and I know me saying this
won't change that fact for anybody.
With my new outlook on life, I started a
very successful online business. Then
another, then another.
I put in so much work into these
companies. No feeling in the world can
replace something you've built. I sold
one of these businesses for a
substantial amount of money and continued
to grow the others. I liked watches, so
I started to watch company. I like
technology, so i started cloud storage company.
I continued this trend until I realized, wait.
I can really help other people. So that's
what I did. I helped others start
their dream companies and took them from
zero knowledge, to over ten thousand
dollars in sales every month. I want to
share this feeling with the world. So I'm
going to help everyone I can
do whatever it is that they love.
