FROM PAPERBOY TO POWERHOUSE: THE INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY OF VENU KALYAN
Outlook Business
|October 2024
Celebrated with the Most Admired Real Estate Sales Coach of the Year 2024’ Award for Transformative Impact and Innovative Coaching
-
Every great success story starts with a vision, often born from humble beginnings. For Venu Kalyan, the path to becoming a renowned real estate sales coach was neither straightforward nor easy, but it was marked by determination, resilience, and a deep-seated passion for helping others achieve their potential.
Venu Kalyan always dreamed of becoming a top-tier businessman, but life had its own challenges. “I began my career as a paperboy during my plus-two days,” he recalls. “From there, I worked in a restaurant as a waiter, served in a medical shop, and took on several other jobs just to make ends meet.” These early experiences instilled in him a strong work ethic and a profound understanding of perseverance.
