22 Year Old Doorman Built and Cashed In On Successful Business Within 2 Years [Picture]

John Henry is a New Yorker that many in the startup community not only know of, but aspire to imitate. At 22, he built and sold an on-demand concierge service – in just two years.

Working towards becoming a jazz musician, Henry had to work in any job he could land to make ends meet. One of those jobs was as a doorman where he opened and held doors and hauled packages for Wall Street’s elite. It was there that he observed opulence and wealth firsthand, but says that “it didn’t feel obtainable.”

After switching jobs and moving to a high rise in Brooklyn, Henry came in contact with millionaires from various backgrounds. There was a dating coach, a professional rock climber, musicians and writers, but the most fascinating of them all was an ex-con who’d served 18 years in prison and created a multi-million dollar laundry service empire upon his release.                                                     source
