The Teen Proving Hardships Don’t Decide Your Future.
Lewis Barry, the entrepreneur changing lives on a daily basis. From a young age living as a healthy, happy child in a positive environment proved to Lewis Barry that he could do anything with the life he was given. But this soon changed as his 19 month old sister became severely ill with Leukaemia which is a form of blood cancer and is life threatening. This event in Lewis’s life changed a lot of things, like the happy environment he was used to had now been replaced with trauma. The constant visiting hospital wards and being surrounded and isolated by the constant worry of death and fearing every day as it came. Unfortunately this wasn’t the end of his trauma and he lost a lot of the close people to him over a 3 year period and this put a huge mental strain on him from a young age.
Lewis missed out on a lot of his education and every day was a struggle mentally. When Lewis turned 14 he came to the realisation that he wasn’t the smartest academically. He didn’t have any special athletic ability to take advantage of and he had no real skill set and it was this turning point in his life that pivoted his mindset from worry and struggle to taking advantage of the opportunities given to him and he must take every day as a new opportunity to make something of himself.
Every day for the next few years he was researching and finding ways to still enjoy the life that he had been given and came to the realisation that the traditional 9–5 system wouldn’t fit his new goals and ambitions. The education system also didn’t work for him. This was when he found his very first mentor and made his very first investment into learning. This completely changed his life and opened so many doors for him in his business and personal life, he realised at this point particularly that he now had a choice to either keep it as a side hustle or go all in and give it everything he had. As you can probably guess he went all in and built several online businesses and brands and scaled them every day and continues to do so.
This Entrepreneur went from a struggle almost every day to an internet nomad who now wants to give back and provide knowledge and skills to other like minded individuals. When we asked Lewis why he does what he does he simply replied “You can’t teach an entire zoo to climb a tree because everyone has different abilities so i want to provide a different way for entrepreneurs who are stuck in the schooling or rat race system.” He also said that he doesn’t have an issue with people wanting jobs because that works for some people but others it doesn’t and those people are not given the right opportunities.
