Dreams of a 2 Billion Dollar Company , Dell

By Mehta Tejas Satyen

Everybody harbours some desire and aspires to achievement and wealth. having aspirations of achievement in the work path that you have selected. It impacts both poverty and how hard and concentrated one works. Some dreams and aspirations continue to exist, and it's crucial to have goals in life since only when you have aspirations of achieving something do you feel driven to put up the effort necessary to make it a reality. Dreams are necessary for success because without them, you lack the drive to carry on.

It's about Michael Dell, who claimed that you can either be your own worst enemy or greatest friend.Nobody can harm or assist you as much as you can, he claimed. He also emphasised that the greatest way to get over fear is to hustle and pursue your goals. Miracles begin to occur when you offer your dreams and your fear equal amounts of energy, it is true. Born in the Gulf of Mexico in 1965, this story first began. In a period of a few years, this genius youngster can transform himself into a multibillion dollar entrepreneur. What is his secret? Michael Dell, then 12 years old, his parents, and two siblings sat on the beach one afternoon while he painstakingly constructed a trotline, a rope maze to which various fish hooks could be attached. The remainder of his family members told Dell that he was wasting his time. Michael persisted in his efforts. When he was completed, it was already dinnertime, and everyone else was getting ready to call it a day. Nevertheless, he continued to secure the trotline to the stick in the deep sand while casting it out into the lake. Over dinner, his family taunted him for leaving with nothing, but when he hauled in his trotline, there were more fish on the hooks than everyone else had combined to catch! If you think you have a good idea, try it, he would often

remark. Dell and his brother were given the ambition to learn and the motivation to work hard by their parents, Alexander and Lorraine, who were stockbrokers and orthodontists respectively, while they were growing up in Houston, Texas. He has already vowed to finish with IBM. He has the confidence and strength to work so hard because of this objective. Perhaps his quest for knowledge is the next issue. At

the age of 8, Michael applied for a high school equivalency diploma because he believed it would be wise to finish high school so that he could start his career sooner. It's true that Dell didn't complete his education. However, this does not signify that he lacks education or is incapable of achieving success. A few years later, he came up with another brilliant idea, selling stamps through advertising, and made $ 2000. He then used his money to buy his first personal computer, which he disassembled to learn how it operated. Additionally, he started selling newspaper subscriptions at his high school employment.When a 17-year-old boy paid $18,000 in cash for a pricey BMW automobile, the seller was shocked to learn that most individuals who possess these cars are extremely wealthy or the children

of extremely wealthy people. When he was 18 years old, Michael Dell enrolled on his own in the University of Texas. Dell's father criticises of his starting a business because he was an intelligent and gifted student. They cared about his academic performance and wanted him to finish his degree. When he declared his intention to leave college and launch his own business, his parents expressed concern for him as well. They started to worry when they learned that he planned to compete against a large organisation like IBM. Since Dell didn't even hold a college degree, they didn't think this was a good idea. Everyone needed a computer when he launched his company, but dealers marked them up significantly. Dell realised that customers wanted affordable machines that could be tailored to their specific needs, but these machines were hard to come by. He purchased excess inventory from dealers at cost and installed some new features to enhance their functionality. He provided PCs at a 15% discount off list price. Dell was selling 1000 PCs a month within a year. He designed the first Dell computer advertisement on the back of an empty box. This was written down on paper and delivered to the newspaper by his pal. Dell offers a money-back promise to his clients. For his product, he offered on-site services to address consumers' issues. In addition to that, he also developed a 24-hour phone service that allowed clients to speak with computer professionals directly. He maintained frequent telephone touch with clients in this way, keeping the business in close proximity to the marketplace. Dell expanded his space and added additional personnel in an effort to maintain his high level of profitability. Only after receiving phone orders from clients were the units constructed. Overheads and inventory were kept to a minimum. Every day, trucks brought in the production for the day. He has only just, at the age of 29, realised the potency of the concept that propelled him from teen to tycoon. He climbed to

become the fourth-largest personal computer manufacturer in America and the youngest person to ever lead a Fortune 500 organization. He succeeded in realising his two billion dollar dream when his business, like IBM, surpassed two billion dollars in revenue and employed thousands of people. Every child occasionally needs the support and direction of their parents, and Dell's parents created a perfect example of parenting by allowing him the flexibility to pick his priorities and conduct himself properly while dealing with his unique skill. Dell's parents were very sympathetic of his goals and handled them delicately by allowing him to choose between business and college study.

It is not sufficient to be in awe of the dell's brilliance and accomplishments after reading about him; one must also be inspired. His experience serves as a reminder that dreams may inspire you, give you the willpower to overcome obstacles, and inspire you to work relentlessly towards realising your goals. His tale was quite uplifting.

This shows what people can accomplish when they have the will, dedication, and guts to make their dreams come true. Such accomplishments are only feasible with a lot of effort and creative thought. People should have the courage to make decisions and take chances if they want to forge their own identities rather than going along with the crowd and ending up doing a job.

“Compared to the competitors, you may learn a lot more from your clients.”
