Successful Self-Starter
Andy Butler, Young Businessman of the Year, is
definitely not your average 22-year-old. Far from it. He’s not planning a
backpacking trip round the world, and he doesn’t go clubbing until three and
then sleep until midday. He’;s always been ambitious and not afraid of hard
work. But he’s also had a dream and he’s made it all come true without any help
from his parents.
Andy is boss of his own computer business, and
he’s already made a small fortune. He told us how it all started. I’ve always
been fascinated by computers and it’s always been my dream to run my own
company. So I read lots of computer magazines, and when I got fed up with
washing neighbours’ cars at the age of 14, I put a small advert in the local
paper:”Problems with your computer? Let me solve them for you. Ј15 per hour. No
solution, no charge”. The phone never stopped ringing!
It seems I’d really discovered a gap in the
market. Lots of people work from home nowadays and they invariably use PCs and
the Internet. But PCs have a habit of going wrong and that’s where I came in,
because they want them fixed -fast. When I arrived on my bike, people were
amazed how young I was. Some of them didn’t trust me to take their valuable PCs
to pieces, and I had to persuade them that I knew what I was doing. But they
were happy enough when I fixed the problem.
Then, a few months later, I was at the dentist’s
and I was telling him what I did. He immediately asked me to design a website
for him. That’s really what got me started. I got a book and I more or less
taught myself. It wasn’t too difficult.
A week later his website was up and running and
he was very happy with it. After that, word got around, and his friends and
clients started ringing me up. And since then I’ve never looked back. I did
computer studies at university and now I’m putting everything I’ve learnt into
practice.
I can’t believe my luck. If you ask me, there’s nothing more exciting than having your own business. The company doesn’t fix computers. Instead, we specialize in website design and we’re taking on new clients every day. I work with some great people and they’re all about my age, so everything is very informal. Sometimes I work 14 or 15 hours a day, but I don’t notice the time because I’m getting such a buzz from what I’m doing. I suppose I’m already a millionaire, but that isn’t the point. The main thing is “I’m enjoying it. And this is only the beginning!
