Here is another example of Black excellence. The story of Alfred Nickson, the young network marketing mogul who went from welfare to millionaire at age 25.  

Nickson came from humble beginnings, raised in Miami Florida, on welfare and struggling to find his way in life, he eventually found his feet in network marketing. Today he is one of the youngest network marketing millionaires in the United States. 

Nickson started his network marketing journey at 19 years old, after three years, his earnings went from just enough to six whole figures. He became one of the highest young earners in the company at that point. 

Alfred made his first million dollars at age 25, and his first investment was to give back to the church that he was raised in. He credits his massive success to his strong belief and faith in God, he states: 

“The first thing I did was invest in the my church. Everything I have comes from the grace of God. My faith and religion are extremely important to me, so sowing back into the church has been essential as I continue to gain wealth.”

Nickson didn't just invest his money in his church, he also retired his mom and purchased his dream home and car to reward himself for the hard work he puts into his work.  

Currently, Nickson works hard to train others about financial literacy and building successful businesses. He also manages his own highly successful brand with more than 100,000 loyal followers online. 

Nickson also states:

“My job is to bring out the absolute best out of a person. It isn’t so much as encouraging people to leave their nine to five jobs but encouraging them to follow their dreams and create multiple streams of income. In this economy, it is important that people have multiple streams of revenue.” 

Alfred continues to work hard to inspire and motivate people to be the greatest version of themselves. He also advises up and coming entrepreneurs and marketers to stay consistent, never give up and to keep learning no matter how successful they become.
