Cool on making $1M though, I'm guessing through selling books

In his first year after finishing A-levels (at age 18), Alex West felt lost and unenthusiastic about the traditional university path. A pivotal moment came when he read "Rich Dad Poor Dad," which ignited his desire for financial independence and entrepreneurship.

He began his entrepreneurial journey with eBay arbitrage.

Initially, he sold personal belongings. He then discovered the concept of buying items cheaply and reselling them for a profit. His first successful arbitrage venture involved PS3 controllers, buying them in bulk or from less optimized listings and reselling them individually. This process taught him the fundamentals of e-commerce: sourcing products, creating listings, photography, packaging, shipping, customer service, and dealing with issues like returns and scams. He reinvested his profits, expanding his product range to include items like GoPro accessories. By the end of this first year, he had managed to make approximately £10,000 in profit. Key takeaways from Year 1 for Alex were the importance of taking action, learning by doing, gaining practical business skills (even on a small scale), and the empowering realization that he could forge his own path outside of conventional routes. This foundational year built his confidence and provided him with tangible business experience.

At least that's what I'm getting from the blog.
