About ten years ago, Ashley Low took on a $40,000 loan to be educated in professional photography. But after graduation, she found herself working part-time as a receptionist because it was hard to find photography work.
Today, she's an award winning photographer with her own studio, and she's one of the best in the field.
But trust us, it was not an easy journey to get there.
She had to deal with family issues, an abusive boyfriend, and it took hundreds of photoshoots, where she earned a pittance, before she could use that money to launch herself to bigger projects.

How A Tragedy Helped Her Find Her Purpose In Life: Dealing With The Death Of A Child
About ten years ago, Lesli Berggren was making her home in Singapore. She had two beautiful twins, a fulfilling business where she created jewellery, and she felt like the world was her oyster.
But when her doctor told her ten years later that her 12-year-old boy had a type of rare cancer, she gave up her life as she knew it to take care of him.
What followed was a lot of emotional pain and suffering, but Lesli discovered that despite all the devastating things that happened, she was able to find her purpose and become the person she needed to be.
This is Lesli's #10YearChallenge.

From $0 to $2M in Profits: How a Struggling Entrepreneur Family Raised The Life They Dreamed Of
Imagine you and your partner are trying to start a new business. This is the crucial period, and you've both quit your former business to make this work. However, you also have a new child to take care of, and there's no money coming in. One day, you get an offer for a full time job. This means you don't have to worry about buying baby milk powder, meals, paying the bills, and so on. But it also means you don't get to work on your startup during this crucial period. So what do you do?
Dason & Fanny were in this situation and decided to reject the job offer to focus on their startup. Ten years later, they are making it with their logistics tech startup Detrack, which makes delivery tracking easy for everyone. This Singaporean-grown startup had a lot of hurdles to overcome. But today, they have worked with over 700 companies in more than 50 countries and have raked in 2 million dollars of profit in the last year.
