Name : Irfan Khairi
Age : 32 years old

As early as 18 years old Irfan Khairi have taken steps so that he became so successful now. It begins with a dream who wants to be a millionaire at the age of 30 years. Then, he began to reveal himself to entrepreneurship by reading motivational books and attend seminars and talks. For him, success has done so now is the result of it’s previously. He was very interested and serious in studying e-commerce and the internet are eligible to graduate in Bachelor of Multimedia Design from Staffordshire University in the United Kingdom. The father of 4 children have been offered a job at one of the largest IT company in Birmingham, Netmedia in the UK shortly after completing your studies.

I classified him as proactive entrepreneurs when he have big dreams since childhood and take action and continued efforts to achieve the dream. While in his teens before he was subdued and less in common with him but do a lot of thinking and look around so that he often wondered what makes people succeed? According to him, "Indeed, too many answers to the question of what makes a person successful. However, when considered in more detail, in fact it goes back to two things only. And these two things in life that I live, and also the business ..."

So, what are the two things that he meant? First, successful people have a goal and a clear vision of life. This is because, those who are "entrepreneurs" are those who often get ideas and continuously try to implement it. He added, "More precisely our goal, clearer vision we can see, we will be more focused in achieving that goal." Hence, if we want to succeed, we must try and find solutions instead of excuses. Irfan Khairi also share many success stories about why we often hear business people start with a story of failure and distress? This is because of difficulties and failures as a trigger to the path of success when it touched their instincts to get out of the situation by any means. According to him, "When in trouble and fail, often we will strive harder and more intense. We have felt sorrow and failure and we do not want any more in such circumstances." So, armed with a determination that will change one has to try to find a solution rather than giving a reason. "Read only their great success stories over the world, from the Body Shop owner, so the owner of KFC. From Oprah Winfrey, until Richard Branson. From Dato Husammidin (founder Karangkraf) until the story of my own (Irfan Khairi!) Who do not run from 2 this important matter. That is, have a clear vision of the goal and try to find ways and stop gaps and not a reason to reach the goal! "

Actually, Irfan proactive attitude has been evident ever since he decided to start his own business for full time at home alone with a capital of RM500. He took bold steps after several years working as a designer of multimedia system and an internet consultant and part of the team responsible for designing Internet learning systems for schools in the UK, called Learning Grid immediately after graduation. While working at the firm, he worked part-time basis to develop their own online business in 1999 when he was only 22 years old. Exactly one year of operation, Irfan took the daring decision to put all his commitment to Internet business that he earned  when he found the greatest benefit has been obtained by Irfan Khairi Sdn Bhd, which provides training and advice and guidance on who wants to start a business oriented Internet. At the age of 25 years of completion of 3 years of its operation, he was a young millionaires after the company obtained a net profit of RM1, 000, 000 without the need for sophisticated computer equipment and employees.
