The poor newborn was left by his heartless mother in a cold dumpster, not thinking of the possible outcome of such a cruel action. Nobody in their right state of mind would dump a baby in a place like that, don\u2019t you agree?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5147\" src=\"https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7-14-300x270.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7-14-300x270.webp 300w, https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/7-14.webp 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:YOUTUBE &#8211; FIGGERS WIRELESS<\/p>\n<p>The now CEO definitely had a rough start in life, thinking about it, his life could\u2019ve ended right there and then.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, the heavens above sent him a very supportive and loving couple, Nathan and Betty Figgers. They adopted the then neglected baby who grew up possessing such advanced knowledge in technology.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody thought that he\u2019d become so successful in life after his tragic beginnings.<\/p>\n<p>When Freddie was only nine years old, he received his first computer. It was a faulty one, but he managed to make it function after a few tries of fixing, tweaking, and troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<p>He turned out to be a genius (if not gifted) and landed his first ever employment at the age of 12. Then when he turned 15, he was already an owner of a cloud computing company. He got the idea of putting up the company when a tornado hit an Alabama-based car dealership that lost all its computer files including their clients\u2019 information.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent data loss in the future, Figgers tried formulating a way where individuals to huge companies can back up their information on a remote server. When thinking about a remote server, one would immediately think of a fancy facility. In his case, that so-called remote server was only located in his backyard.<\/p>\n<p>He also invented a special shoe equipped with a GPS tracker and a two-way communicator. According to him, he got really interested in making such an invention because of his father who then started to show symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. He said that his father would often forget a lot of basic things such as wearing his pants.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted to make sure that his dad was safe all the time that\u2019s why he started working in the healthcare field.<br \/>\nThe two-way communicator allowed him to talk to his dad even if they were not together. That way, he didn\u2019t need to worry about his dad doing something dangerous. The GPS on the other hand allowed him to track his father\u2019s real-time location so he\u2019d never go missing.<\/p>\n<p>He eventually quit school because he got a job offer and missed class for approximately 2 to 3 weeks. During his absence from class, he managed to build a computer program in just a span of four weeks. He got paid $80,000 for doing it and that\u2019s when he started investing in his own telecom company \u2013 Figgers Communication.<\/p>\n<p>At 24, Figgers had already designed and built 80 custom software programs! What a guy! He accomplished all that despite being a \u201cdumpster baby\u201d, none from his past hindered him from reaching his dreams and from making his own fortune.<\/p>\n<p>100% focus and commitment!<br \/>\nFiggers didn\u2019t stop and continued climbing his way to the top. The company that he built is now valued at over $62 million!<\/p>\n<p>On top of his success, Figgers also gives back to his community by offering worthy college students scholarships, sponsoring youth programs, paying seniors\u2019 bills, and helping to bail out homes in foreclosure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe turning caring into action, and if you see a problem find a solution to deliver an impact to change someone\u2019s life,\u201d Figgers said. \u201cI\u2019m going to impact this world and change today for a better tomorrow because money is nothing but a tool, but with that tool, we can impact and change everyday people\u2019s lives with opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Figgers\u2019 story is truly an inspiration to everyone who came from nothing like him. From being a \u201cdumpster baby\u201d to a successful CEO of a multimillion telecom company.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet the 29Yr Old Entrepreneur Who Owns The largest African American Owned Telecommunications Firm\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kxof_PFd-JQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Please SHARE this with your friends and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a neglected baby to a founder of a multimillion telecom company.
