The path of an entrepreneur often starts from zero. Entrepreneur girl Amy Penn began her career while pregnant and without a roof over her head. Now she earns millions. The life of the heroine is an example of the fact that you do not need to give up; in any situation, you should look for a way out to your success and happiness.
Hard start
She was 24 when she was educated and immediately became pregnant. Amy grew up in a Nigerian family, and there were plenty of housing and money difficulties. Beloved man also could not secure her future.
Due to family problems, there was no place for Amy and her unborn child, and she literally had to go to sleep on the streets of London.
Amy recalls: "My mother said I should find a place in life, but it constantly eluded me."
Meanwhile, months passed, Amy's husband lived with his parents and could not shelter his wife and child. It came to the point that the money was completely over, they were not even enough to pay for renting an apartment. The situation was so critical that registration as a homeless person became the only way out.
There were many people who wished to receive shelter in such a status, and a pregnant woman had to stand in line in the late stages in order to get at least some shelter.
“It was real hell. I understood that everything should be wrong, but the reality was inexorable, ”recalls the heroine.
Just a few weeks before giving birth, Amy Penn managed to get an apartment. She called her daughter Leah, which means "life-changing." Housing has become that safe place to start a new life. But it was still very difficult.
She was on maternity leave for a year, but she received benefits only six months later. At the same time, relations with Leah's father began to deteriorate, and the young parents had to leave. In order to feed herself and her daughter, Amy increasingly began to think about her own business.
Second chance in a new country

The ice broke in his career when the management suggested that Amy move to a promising position in Australia. The heroine’s marriage did not stand the test of distance and fell apart. She was in a foreign country, without family and support. At work, they paid a penny, and she decided to quit a stable profession and open her own business.
