This speech is going to be very personal for me because the person that I want to talk about is my brother, who is 2 years older than me. Actually, I’ve known him for 23 years now, which is a lifelong period. He became a businessman when he first launched his online courses at the age of 20, if I’m not mistaken. Actually, the first year for him was very challenging because he faced a lot of disagreement while working with his team because some people didn’t see the project as successful as it is nowadays. They had a lot of doubts, confusion and didn’t believe that they can work together with my brother. However, because of my brother’s nature of convincing people, they ended up making good products. He empowered his team, gave motivational speeches that everything would be okay if they would follow strict guidelines that he came up with, which eventually was true because nowadays he has over 5 million singular in his bank account every month, which is a successful representation of what a businessman can be in the starting period of his career.
Band 7+: Describe a successful businessman you know. You should say: who this person is how you know this person how he/she has become so successful and explain why you consider him/her as a successful business person.

This speech is going to be very personal for me because the person I want to talk about is my brother, who is two years older than me. I've known him for 23 years now, which is a lifelong period. He became a businessman when he first launched his online courses at the age of 20, if I'm not mistaken. The first year for him was very challenging because he faced a lot of disagreement while working with his team, as some people didn't see the project as successful as it is nowadays. They had a lot of doubts, confusion, and didn't believe they could work together with my brother. However, because of my brother's ability to convince people, they ended up making good products. He empowered his team and gave motivational speeches that everything would be okay if they followed the strict guidelines he came up with, which eventually proved to be true. Nowadays, he has over 5 million dollars in his bank account every month, which is a successful representation of what a businessman can achieve in the early stages of his career.
