Child of Gold: Farrah Gray

To take into account the fact that Dr. Farrah Gray started his entrepreneurial endeavors at the age of six in Chicago, Illinois and became a millionaire by fourteen years of age (not through sports or entertainment or inheritance) one might need to readjust an individual’s scope of wealth.

Selling certain kinds of rocks

Dr. Farrah Gray sold rocks, not crack rocks but actual rocks. He painted them and sold them as doorstops, paper weights, and bookends. Some people chastised the young man. Others would shell out a few bucks to Gray as a way of saying that he was headed for better avenues.

Teenage phenomenon

In just eight years, he would start his own business, one named NE2W and another called Farr-Out Foods with an invention inspired by his grandmother. He had once combined lotions and shared them door-to-door. This idea led him to take all different syrups from his grandmother’s pantry and used them as a company that would grant him millions. This teenage phenomenon developed his skills and talents by surpassing what people expected of him.

“JOB”

A woman once said that he should find a JOB or Just Over Broke because he would not become a multi-millionaire. His best way of showing up this naysayer laid in his efforts.

He would go on to be an author and provide students with scholarships. He would coin another phrase. Multitudes find that being a “worker” is a vicious moniker. People toil every day in misery because they think that they’re doing work that is not comparable to “the boss.” Dr. Gray said that he recommends for these people to consider themselves as “OOO” or Only Operating Officers.

This means that the individual should prize him or herself no matter what level of occupation they might occupy. The fact that they can manage their finances, improve their work area skills, and have an entrepreneurial mindset, Gray finds that all to be empowering.

A doctor in the building

He received the Honorary Doctorate degree of Humane Letters from Allen University 2006. Gray’s investments and influence conjoined to build himself as a man of immense mental might.

What Gray does is uplift not the race unless it’s human. He encourages everyone around him and he is the golden child of entrepreneurship. His hustle continues to this day as he draws on the narrative he started writing at the age of six. His main goal is to become something more than just another black man who is incarcerated, unemployed, or spiritually poor. Dr. Gray created a plan for himself to take the keys and bring himself millions.

The rational selfishness involved in Gray’s example should be modeled by anyone with an entrepreneurial itch to scratch. The insight and amount of knowhow in the soul of a six-year-old boy outweighed the business minds of grown men. Dr. Gray just wants to see more millions as the virtuous, greedy businessman that he is.

Greed is great

This greed is for information, money, and relationships. He is good for being greedy because he has earned the position to become a man of substance and style. His multi-million dollar status has propelled him from poverty. It is his greed that drives him to continue to be the one of the best human beings of all time.

By taking his time to invest and research into various commodities, he has prepared himself for greater. He invested in his own life as a rationally selfish individual. He has kept his word to himself in order to bring about riches in his name. From Farr-Out foods to NE2W to his own office space on Wall Street, Dr. Farrah Gray has secured a place in the pantheon of some of the greatest American businessmen.
