In the era of the pandemic and amidst lots of struggling and pessimism, 20-year-old Lukas Tsimopoulos belongs to a new generation of tech-savvy entrepreneurs who use the Internet to solve profound problems and improve their quality of living. None of his peers in high school would have ever expected him to nail nearly a million dollar annual income and 80 thousand followers on Instagram today.
Through direct messages with fans and a special mentorship program offered to the most driven and resourceful applicants, he shares how in six years of his teenage life, he moved from casual keyword searching to targeted eBay reselling, and finally to his hugely profitable drop-shipping model. Focusing on trading in-demand beauty and health products, he is optimizing the supply chain, bringing manufacturers into direct contact with their customers. Eliminating costs, hazards, and complicated logistics, these essential products reach households that need them.
Physical retail is already becoming a thing of the past. At the same time, online shopping has become a necessity, especially now that people are not always able to get out of their homes and indulge in a real-life shopping experience. As the virtual world is taking over, Lukas is among the young educated people who can show us how to navigate this reality, ensuring personal happiness and freedom from conventional thinking.
The previous generations have been brainwashed through formal education to believe that there is only one path to success, yet he believes that there are so many more alternatives. Information is abundant out there, but it was crucial that he focused and specialized in sectors that are dearest to him. Being open to challenges and opportunities, he was able to figure out activities that could make him wealthy but never bound to a workspace, country, or continent.
From his laptop, with a lot of patience and self-confidence, he is learning new things, unlearning information and habits he doesn’t need, reconsidering his positions, and proposing new ideas that can prove useful to people around him. He isn’t set in his beliefs, just convinced that a skeptical, calculated risk-taker with a tremendous work ethic is always able to take other charismatic people on board and collaborate with extraordinary results.
Lukas will not run his family business of restaurants, nor retire anytime soon. He customized work for himself so that he achieves long-term success. His native Australia is just the beginning of his impressive journey as he explores consumer behavior, creating strategies based on it and communicating with the world. He loves feeding people with precious advice, and in the same way, he has been appreciative of the words of wisdom dispatched to him by his mentors.
Teaching people that they can hope for an enviable location-free income that requires zero investment is one of his ways to give back to the community that raised and supported him so far. He explains that those aspiring to do so should be motivated and committed, willing to work long hours from any remote corner on earth. Even a small success can be the driving force behind more effort and greater achievements. It’s definitely a game that belongs to the disciplined and resilient guys, yet everybody is able to be in control and channel their energy and brains toward spectacular goals.
