First income earned when I was in college. I took up a part time job in a pharma company to prepare their documents in word and excel. I did a desktop application for inventory and billing for a pharmacist after finishing college when I had no job. That can be called first income as entrepreneur. I also did one website for another person during same time.

I earned money first time when i was intern at UBS Investment bank in new york. Best part was, my desk was right next to stock/option trader who do million dollars transaction everyday. I learned option trading which eventually became my second interest after software. Now, being early age product startup owner, that is my only source of income.

My first income was Rs 1500, I was teaching at one of the math/science tuition classes in summer of 2003 after my 12th board exam.

My first income as entrepreneur was couple of months back when I left my job to start my own company, it was 5k.

I always had this thought of doing something of my own, and I left the job, I felt it right. I was glad that I had my first income as entrepreneur, but I am also confident that there is much more then just an income.

First income as a software engineer: 22k
First income as an entrepreneur: 6.3k ($100 cheque through Google Adsense Ads)
Truly speaking, the feeling of receiving 6.3k as an entrepreneur was far far better than receiving 22k from day job.

My first income was in class 9th which was for physics assignments for my classmates who didn't had the time or money to hit a Cyber Cafe. I charged Rs 50 per assignment. I had a desktop with me at that time with an internet connection. Each assignment was unique in a way and it had Roll Number & Name of the student in the footer & watermark. I made nearly 40 assignments. I didn't have a printer so I got the printouts from one of my friends who's father had a travel agency and in return made assignments for him for free

A Small Vegitable Retailer "Thelewala" used to sell his vegitable in my nearby village named Birji Mali. i have seen him selling vegetables since my childhood. in 2008 i suggested how to sell with effective method; in my consultation he started selling in a BUGGA /JUGAD , (a desi vehicle made by villagers for their agri needs. i made available this on rent from a villager) and started to approach 10 to 15 KM far villages where any vegetable seller could not reach. with a Loudspeaker (TURAYI) to announce joking dialogues for entertaining villagers while selling vegetables. now after more than 6 years of consultation, Birji Mali now have 2 Wholesale shops and 3 own openTata four wheelers and 6 jugads with loudspeakers and making payments to 22 staff.

As a child growing up in the US we were lovingly encouraged to go out and make money from a very early age so it is impossible for me to remember my first income. I'm sure it was before I was five years old and it was probably in a major entrepreneurial venture like selling lemonade or offering my services to my mother. :)

Between then and my first real ongoing business I would say I was involved in dozens of ventures from making things (from art to food) to providing services (helping on different jobs or at the flea market). Then at the age of 11 I got a job delivering one of the major Los Angeles newspapers. This was big because it was a real income running into hundreds of dollars a month and it was a big challenge as the papers had to be collated, folded and wrapped in a rubber band early in the morning before riding my bicycle around several block. It was actually a lot of fun, but also real work. I think it taught me a lot which has stayed with me until today.

First Income was winning Cricket Match and won 5 Rs. as my share from the Total. 2nd Income took a decade which is in Market Research Job in year 2000-01. Two outcomes from that Job. One is a cheque of approx. 1200 Rs. and Second I learnt about my strengths and weaknesses. 3rd Income was for Job in BPO and understood the value of Good Education/Knowledge/Degree. I think I am fortunate to get right appreciation for the work I produce almost all the time. I believe one should have right attitude, should be very good in content(technical knowhow) and at-least above average in presentation skills to be successful as per my observation.

Currently I have around 50 employees working for my company after working really hard (first 2 years I was working from 9AM till 4AM with 4 hours of sleep). My passion was ignited and still the burning desire to do better is what keeps me going for better.

Way way back I earned my first money before I satrted www.elatika.com

When I was at 4th grade on summer vacation in a remote village of Jharkhand me and my friend decided to go for hunting.

We took our catapult and entire month of April spent hunting. Last week of the vacation we caught a Heron bird and sold it for 2.40₹

I earned my first money 1.20₹

Well I hated and regret the fact that my first money I earned the worst and saddest way because by the time my love for nature and animals increased more and more in later part.

Being an Entrepreneur is not an easy job. You need to be consistent in your process and things will change for the best if you give your best. I am sharing my sales for the past 6 years and you can see how things change.

YEAR. TOTAL SALE
2013-14- Rs.1,06,231
2014-15- Rs.3,35,975
2015-16- Rs.4,33,268
2016-17- Rs.12,27,184
2017-18- Rs.7,29,665
2018-19- Rs.17,25,540

You can see when I started the whole year's revenue was 1,06,231 in 2013 I had no clue what I was doing but as years past I started to get more clarity and things started to change. nothing happens overnight. it took me 7 years to grow the business to where it is today and this year we have projected revenue of around Rs. 35,00,000. So be patient and keep on hustling, things will definitely change overnight after 6 years of hard work and hustle.
