Personal branding: Does this story appeal to you?
Currently trying to make a personal brand and crafting a good story. I want to ask you if this story appeals to you in a business sense. By the way, this is all completely true, haven't made any of this up.

I have been an entrepreneur for as long as anyone close to me can remember. While most eight year olds were washing their parents cars for pocket money, I was washing the cars of the entire neighborhood block. When I turned 13, I began selling on eBay, and within a few months, I sold over $20,000 of refurbished iPods.
Growing up, I always had a passion for soccer and loved playing at lunchtime with my classmates and training a few days a week with my local amateur team after school, but that was a far as my ambition went then. So in high school I combined my love of soccer ---- with e-commerce and created what would later become "Australia's #1 Online Soccer Store", taking out full page ads in magazines and having employees as far as India and the Philippines.
In 2009, my Dad got an offer for work exchange abroad and so me and my parents moved to Budapest, Hungary. It was there where I quickly learnt how crazy Europeans were about their soccer. One day that fall, in a moment of wicked inspiration, I decided I was going to become a professional soccer player. There are 265 million people in the world who actively play soccer but I somehow believed I was going to be apart of that <0.0001% make it professionally.
Two years later, through numerous failed tryouts and 1000's of hours of intense practice through sunshine and snow; my "impossible" dreams were realised when I received a contract offer to play professionally. Since then I've had the privileged opportunity to have had training stints with the Australian national team and in elite foreign teams all over Europe.
These days I'm still focused on building big businesses as I am on playing infront of thousands of people. I use my relentless drive and energy to help startups like Parkwhiz and Adblockplus become successful through explanation video and building their digital brands with StartupVideo.net

Does this appeal to you, would it make you connect more with me and be interested in the work I currently do?
Any feedback would be much appreciated and I hope to return the favor for your own problems.
Cheers, Laurence.
