Sabirul Islam, now 20, is a Teen-Trepreneur who set up ‘The World at Your Feet,’ a global motivational speaker and author of bestselling books: “The World at Your Feet. He’s also the creator of the “Teen-Trepreneur” Board Game and the Success Kit trilogy of books and DVDs.
With a vision to want to achieve success, Sabirul an ordinary East London teenager who grew up witnessing crime and violence within his community, made the jump to setting up his first business at the age of 14. Learning the power of self-belief and inspiration, Sabirul discovered the benefits of risk-taking at a young age and with a huge network and big organisational support, Sabirul took a step forward to learn how to trade at the age of 16.
With a wealth of knowledge and experience as a young entrepreneur and investor, Sabirul had the vision and desire to inspire young people across the nation which led him to writing his first book called “The World At Your Feet” aged just 17. The launch of his first book presented the opportunity for Sabirul to become a motivational speaker, sharing his message and selling over 42,500 copies of his book in a space of nine months.
Sabirul not only wants to inspire young people, but to educate them about the world of entrepreneurship and taking risks. This led him into launching his own business board game called “Teen-Trepreneur” at the age of 18, which currently introduces 15 of 25 BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Business. Launched alongside the board game was Sabirul’s second book, “The World at Your Feet: Three strikes to a Successful Entrepreneurial Life”.
Now aged 20, Sabirul’s vision to inspire people has expanded to a global scale, having already reached out to millions of people across the UK, Europe,USA, Nigeria and South Africa, with a world tour planned fromOctober2010. Sabirul’s goal to educate young people about the entrepreneurshiphas inspired him to write his first trilogy about business, which was recently launched as part of his success kit to guide young people to entrepreneurial success. Sabirul will also be launching his own Speakers Bureau this November consisting of Teen-Trepreneurs from the UK and around the World.
Sabirul’s vision is to give young people the belief that ordinary individuals who do something unique become extraordinary individuals.
We had the pleasure to have Mr. Tom Vroemen as a speaker for our yearly event on Crowdfunding in May 2011. The event attracted more then 30 high level finance professionals and crowdfunding platform owners in Brussels. At that time it was still a very new topic and very complex environment to explain to the audience. Nevertheless, the explanations, the facts and figures that Tom delivered were very clear and brought a new insight to the audience. I remember our invitees were very positively surprised to learn again so many new aspects of small companies and start-ups financing.
Tom proved very knowledgeable about finance, regulation and crowdfunding. He was an extremely accurate speaker with a good sense for talking to large audience. He also was very approachable and has done some very clear explanations to some participants as a complement to his intervention. We remember Tom as someone very dynamic and a true expert in his field. All participants enjoyed his intervention; and he was speaking along with one of the global leaders in the field of start-up financing with equal ease and relevance.
