Jordan Grives has always been a self-starter.
The entrepreneur started making money for himself when he was just 15 by selling cans of soft drink to his schoolmates.
While the soft drink business didn’t last long, Grives’ lasting legacy has been his telecommunications company Fonebox Group.
The business counts Officeworks, Volkswagen and Holden among its clients, and it turns over around $15 million annually.
Grives told SmartCompany he always tells young entrepreneurs to find a niche and be persistent.
“Anyone that is an entrepreneur should be pretty sales-driven,” Grives says.
“That’s what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones.”
