He was once a staff at Maccy D’s, serving tea and accommodating customers for a living. That and he needed the money for college. Little did he know that he was about to make a big transition. From serving the needs of financial traders and binary option hustlers, this 16-year-old made a quick turnaround. He’s now one of the people that he used to serve.

Meet Robert Mfune

Robert had a dream which started early—he used this dream to get a job at the local fast-food and food store near his college to get by. Diligently, though, he was an A student. He used this to study up on financial options and binary trading. He was also a keen student; never one for being shy, he caught up with the people he served, asking them for tips about trading and the market he would one day become a part of.

Rough Life, Rough Start

It wouldn’t be a cakewalk for him, however. Aside from studies, his part-time jobs kept him busy and he had to juggle everything. He managed, however, to create an account to trade under by using his mom’s age; that didn’t work, however, as there came a point in time when even his mom told him to stop it. It seemed that his dreams were about to be dashed when that happened. He had to improvise, and so he did.

It wasn’t easy, though, even though he was friends with a few traders; while he worked part-time at fast foods, he also lost big at trading.

Perseverance Pays Off

When he turned full-time trader, however, things changed; by 19, he was the primary provider in their household. He managed to have a collection of properties under his name. He also manages artists on the side—Novelist is one of the artists under his stable. To top it all off, the once-struggling college student managed to buy for himself a gold-plated Bentley, a custom-made vehicle.

It All Pays Off

Robert credits his success to learning and learning big from his experiences. He says it’s not all smooth sailing and that you have to suffer big to earn big. However, as he reiterates, the key is to never give up even if it doesn’t look good at the start. Perhaps, it’s these experiences that enabled him—and especially his mom—to stay down-to-earth in spite of his financial success.

It’s not all smooth sailing. People will always be envious of his success, and he’s proven that one time when he was driving. However, having friends that were with him when he was at the bottom still around keeps him grounded and determined both at the same time.
