The self-made millionaire Ryan Blair reached the pinnacle of success through the toughest and unlikely life events. His journey from pathetic upbringing in decayed family surroundings, domestic abuse, drugs, alcoholism, desertion, imprisonment, and poverty to becoming multimillionaire proves that anybody, provided he or she has craved desire, can accomplish anything they want to and become anybody they aspire to. His own drug addict engineer father was cruel and violent towards his mother and indifferent to any family responsibility. He would frequently abuse them and hold the gun to his mother’s head in front of everybody. He finally abandoned them when Blair was 13 year old with his small sister and brother. His mother became a drug addict and Blair went on to joining a gang of criminals and murderers. In some years, he forgot to care if he was alive or dead.

A break knocked his door when his mother began dating a wealthy man who picked up him from criminal gang and tried to provide him the best possible life. His stepfather was the first person ever to give him a wakeup call. His words, ‘I have faith in you’ pushed him to do something out of his own courage.

At the age of 21, he started his first business and failed. He went on to starting 10 different businesses and failed in all. In 2005, Blair started the Detroit-based ViSalus, a weight loss and fitness program and this time he lived no ground to failure. ViSalus was an instant success! Today, the value of his current business is a staggering $600 million.

Ryan's story needs to reach to the people who get into drugs and become gang members. God wants us all to be happy and content. All we need to do is "Give some Honest Tries and keep trying till we are what we wish to be"

Incredible Journey!! Thanks for sharing
