Gianluigi Ventre: Helping others succeed is greatest success for me

Ventre was born in Avellino, Italy, and from a young age was constantly fascinated by entrepreneurship. 

It's no secret that the majority of people in today's world hope to one day achieve financial freedom; however, the reality is that very few individuals ever will. This holds especially true for the estimated 582 million entrepreneurs across the globe. Statistically speaking, around 90% of businesses fail in their first year. In order to be successful when starting a business, it's essential for entrepreneurs to identify an area in which there is demand for their product or service and sustain that demand over an indefinite period of time. One entrepreneur, Gianluigi Ventre, managed to achieve financial freedom at a young age through educating others about the ins and outs of finance and investing, but it certainly didn't happen overnight. Ventre was born in Avellino, Italy, and from a young age was constantly fascinated by entrepreneurship. From the time he was in high school, Ventre recalls envisioning himself becoming a successful businessman on Wall Street, trading his way to a net worth in the millions. He went on to study Economics in school, and upon graduating entered the corporate world. It didn't take long for Ventre to soon realize that he did not want to work for someone else. He had always dreamt of becoming his own boss and found it very difficult to spend his days building someone else's dream. Ventre stated, "When people work for others, they gain money, but they lose a lifetime. That's why I tried to find something different, because I knew if I wanted a different lifestyle I would need to do things out of the ordinary." He realized that working a typical nine-to-five position would never amount to a life of financial freedom, so it was time for him to make something happen. After leaving his job behind and spending time on various software ventures, Ventre met an Australian trader who would soon change the course of his life for the better. The man, an expert trader and finance guru, inspired Gianluigi Ventre to educate himself on all things finance, from trading to money management. Soon after, Ventre became immersed in the world of trading. He admits that mastering trading was very difficult, as he lost money just as much as he made it in the beginning; however, Ventre relentlessly persevered and eliminated all distractions in his pursuit of financial mastery. "When my peers would go out to have fun, I would stay in and strategize. Then, when those same people finally came back to sleep, I had formulated a new way to make money," Ventre explained.
