I used to flip burgers at McDonald’s — here’s how I ‘accidentally’ became a millionaire
NY Post
SEO entrepreneur Joe Davies is sharing nuggets of wisdom about how to become a millionaire — now that he’s lovin’ his career path.
After years of working dead-end jobs, including at McDonald’s, Davies longed to make a name for himself — an aspiration he shared with his childhood friend, Joe Taylor.
“I didn’t go to university like I had originally planned as I got fed up with learning and I only wanted to make money,” Davies, 36, explained to Jam Press.
“[After leaving school], I worked mostly on building sites, delivering from factories to shops and flipping burgers in McDonald’s,” he continued. “I hated it, as I felt like I wasn’t doing anything important.”
Noticing that e-commerce was booming at the time, the UK native took a $125-per-week job as an IT apprentice, swiftly learning the ropes — including how to use search engine optimization to make money.
“At the company I was working for, I was asked to build a website and learned SEO on the job. This was the first time I had heard that word,” Davies shared. “I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it had elements of engineering, coupled with creativity and marketing, which really fed into my creative personality.”
