''Until you get to doing what you love, love what you’re doing”
Our current world billionaire, Do Won Chang, was born in 1954 in South Korea to a poor family. Unhappy with life in South Korea, Chang immigrated to the United States in 1981 with his wife, Jin Sook, to fulfill his ambitions.
In the United States, Chang worked grueling jobs like sweeping yards, fueling cars and working as a coffee shop helper, trying to conquer life.
Seeing the attention people paid to modern clothing, his interest in clothing fashion increased and he realized that there was a huge market. With $11,000 from small businesses, Chang opened his first fashion store, Fashion Forever 21, in Los Angeles in
The fashion store attracted many young people and generated $700,000 a year.
Chang, who did not hesitate to achieve his vision without neglecting small tasks, quickly expanded Fashion Forever 21 to more than 700 branches in 57 countries.
Currently, the stores generate more than $4.4 billion in annual revenue.
As the saying goes, “As long as you can do what you love, love what you are doing.” Chang's story shows that it takes patience and perseverance to reach the place of one's heart.
