"I came to the U.S. as a 17-year-old immigrant kid in 1995 with a vision of the American Dream in my heart and Coolio on my Walkman. I had just $40 in my pocket at the time. That’s it. I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I wasn’t going home and this had to work. I know what’s possible. You can come from nothing and become something. I’ve lived it." Danijel Velicki has paved his way in the U.S. cementing himself in the financial industry during the last 18+ plus.

He also talks about his passion for teaching, his desire to empower and provide active service to his clients, using his experience and education in assisting them with their finance and other needs.   Key Questions Asked: How did Danijel’s background and experience help him to get to where he is today? How did he manage to stay focused and build his life despite the challenges he faced? What advice would Danijel say to somebody who is in a difficult situation in their business right now? What were the daily routines that Danijel did at the beginning which kept him going? What role did mentors play in Danijel’s success as a business owner? What are the most important skills business owners need to have when it comes to managing or dealing with finances? What is the perfect mindset for start-up business owners who are just beginning to operate?   Highlights of Lessons Learned: Early Days The work ethic that Danijel developed during the early days propelled him to where he is today. Danijel’s drive and passion come from his love for people and his desire to help them. One of the marks of entrepreneurs is being able to recognize opportunities within their own needs.   Measure of Success Success requires consistent work, consistent sacrifice, passion and drive, and ambition. Quitting is a lifelong thing and working through is temporary. Money is not a driver and money is not a goal. Although in the beginning, money is important because it allows us to pay our bills and pay our staff and grow, if money is the driver for your business then you’re doing it for the wrong reason. Life will beat you down, business will beat you down and it will spit you out and you have to go over them collect yourself and wake up tomorrow and be stronger, better faster, more resilient and go at it again and again and again.   Building your Business One of the most important parts of any anybody’s life when it comes to building a business is seeking out mentors. If the business is strong, valuable, viable, look for investors, look for people that can propel you and help you grow. A stronger team is going to propel you faster than trying to fill every gap yourself. Therefore, as a business owner, you have to be open to delegating tasks to other people.
