Failure Was Key To My Success

Alex Sanfilippo started his first business at the age of 10.  He began selling used golf balls in his neighborhood. In his late teens, he launched a technology company that created virtual tours of properties for sale on the MLS, and began investing in real estate himself as soon as he turned 18.  Then the 2007/2008 recession hit. That’s when his Dad helped him get a job at an aerospace company…breaking down boxes and taking out the trash. But he didn’t let that get him down.  Instead, he found passion in that, too, and rose to a senior executive position. All of those experiences (and even failures) led him to his path of entrepreneurship and success today.
