But even for Famz, the road to success wasn’t straightforward. It took him to failed and lost all his money to learn how to run a dropshipping store successfully.
Why Dropshipping?

Now he runs his business straight from his phone. He can do it while eating or playing Playstation (one of his passions), and he still has time to follow his other dream – becoming a professional football player. Famz has the time to train hard every day to accomplish his goal.
As he says, “these are the benefits of being a boss.”
Who Inspires Famz?

After all of the success, his life hasn’t changed very much, aside from the fact that he lives in a more high-end part of London in a seven-bedroom 5 bathroom house, a gated property, Famz still does everything that he wants and work whenever he wants. Ultimately, he is the boss!
