Alex Becker, a serial entrepreneur who has generated tens of millions throughout his career, began in the air force at the age of 19. He served for four years and got out when he was 23. The way he puts it, “I became an entrepreneur because I truly did not have any other option.” His desire to generate wealth superseded the status quo of working a 9-5 job, which is the path that many veterans pursued after returning home. Becker went on to create Spekter Labs, which deals with human enhancement and Market Hero, which helps businesses grow through streamlined data. He has also gone on to write several best selling books and training programs. Alex is currently running his own YouTube channel, Instagram page, and Facebook account to help boost his personal brand. He is only 30 years old, but has made a name for himself in business and social media by directing his “never give up” mentality that he used in the military into his career and passion.
His mentality is super surprising, if I had nothing else to do I’m not sure if I would just start my own business. I guess it’s that never-give-up training that he received in the military. Certainly a great story though!
Mr.Becker seems to be a great example of someone that was able to accomplish great things when pushed into a corner. After leaving the army, Mr.Becker had very few options for what he could do with his life. However, instead of giving up and being mediocre, he decided to do whatever it took to become extraordinary. Now, through his persistence, he is truly enjoying the fruits of his labor. Great post!
He has an interesting perspective on entrepreneurship that seems to have worked in his advantage, and is not appear as a desperate choice but a successful venture.
I like how he took things he learned in the military and used those skills in his entrepreneurial career as well. Its also cool to see him try go an unusual route after coming out of the military. He knew he didn’t want to work the usual 9-5 job so he did something about it. Cool story!
