Everyone has their own journey.  From the outside, we can look at someone else’s journey and wonder why theirs seems easier compared to yours.  Why is it that some people are more inclined to be successful, while others are doomed to fail? 

Yet, the most successful people are usually the ones who have the biggest challenges and go through multiple failures before they came to where they are now.

As the saying goes, the success you see is only the tip of the iceberg.  In Sajag Patel’s case, he had to go through struggles, changes, doubts, bankruptcies and so much more to be where he is today.  

Despite the challenges thrown at him, Sajag never quit.  He had a clear vision of where he was going and built a plan around that.  But beyond achieving financial success, it is using the money he earned to serve other people and help change their lives for the better is what brings him happiness and inspires him to do more.
