Michel Issa dreamed of becoming a monk. Almost ten years of his life was put into that dream. Michel's journey began with a strong desire to make a difference for people.

However, he felt that he could make a major difference outside of the monastery walls. But when he decided to return home to Sweden to seek a regular job, he went through the terrible experience of applying to hundreds of jobs with no results.

But when he even got a ”no” after a job interview at Mcdonalds, he was ready to give up but he decided to create his own future by becoming a entrepreneur without even knowing what an entrepreneur means or having knowledge of doing business.

Today Michel operates seven successful companies, a charity organization that is building medical centers and has successfully implemented many "impossible" projects.

Within three years after he was unemployed, he has received several major awards, among others, Entrepreneur of the Year 2014 that he received from the King of Sweden, Social entrepreneur of the year 2014, the future leader 2014, the supertalent of the year 2013 etc.

For Michel entrepreneurship is about bringing people together, to create a larger community within the community and to make a difference in people's lives.

Michel Issa is only 28 years old but he has already made a fascinating journey. Through his lectures he gives many practical tips from his own life experience on how to succeed as an entrepreneur.
