George Tran is a hard worker.
He believes that hard work can help you accomplish anything.
After graduating from college, he worked for Symantec Corporation. It is the makers of Norton Utilities where he became the Symantec's supervisor of technical support for all of Asia Pacific. This was when he was still 22 where he quickly rise from management also.
With Symantec’s new technical support operation in Oregon, George emigrated to the US in December of 1993. There, he was responsible for the implementation and roll out of Symantec’s worldwide support customer tracking system. He was working and studying MBA that time also. But eventually he quit Symantec to focus on his studies.
Applying what he learned on his graduate studies, George started his path of entrepreneurship with a company called GTA Technologies. It offered web hosting solution. It was also the first to offer free ecommerce and shopping cart solutions to the online community. He quickly accumulated over 10,000 merchants using this free ecommerce solution.
And seeing the opportunity to innovate, George created a new information system to help online marketers. With a goal to ease the challenge of building the world’s first shopping cart system that integrates an affiliate tracking system as well as a sequential autoresponder system together, 1Shoppingcart.com was born.
But at the time of creating 1Shoppingcart.com, George was embezzled by his employees that made him over $20,000 poorer because of credit card debts.
But he never gives up. He continued to built the whole system in 3 months, programming the whole system on his own. A testament that he is truly a hard worker. This task would take a team of programmers to finish in period of more than 6 months.
Reaping the fruits of his labor, 1Shoppingcart.com quickly became an industry standard. It was embraced by tens of thousands of online marketers.
But in 2002, George Tran sold his interest in 1Shoppingcart.com to his partner, Rob Bell and retired at the age of 32.
He then spent travelling around the world, a dream of living financially free.
