During the first session of today’s Extreme Entrepreneur Tour stop here at Belmont, Doug Fath shared how he came to choose an entrepreneurial career path in his life. Doug began his entrepreneurial career in 2001 at the age of 19. While in school he started an online sports apparel business. He sold that business in 2004 as he graduated college, and moved his entrepreneurial career into real estate by founding Faithful Investments, LLC. His business specializes in urban revitalization. Their mission:
Faithful Investments is committed to making a difference by building meaningful relationships and creating win-win situations with all of its business partners and customers.
To carry out this mission, Faithful Investments creates pleasurable living experiences for its tenants, innovative solutions for homeowners and money making opportunities for its investors.
He began his talk by citing a study which reported that 70% of young people are dissatisfied with their career choices early in their lives. Many of these young people end up in such unhappy circumstances by choosing careers based on what other people expect them to do. He offered words of encouragement and inspiration for young people to find happiness and satisfaction in their careers, by forging their own path by pursuing their own dreams and passions in their lives through entrepreneurship.
