I was bullied & dropped out of school – then made my first £1m before I was 18

A GLASGOW-born entrepreneur who was bullied and dropped out of school made her first £1million before she turned 18. Liv Conlon was a star pupil, getting an impressive four As and a B in her Highers. But she decided against further education and instead focused on making her own way in the world.

There was nothing her school mentors could do to persuade her she should go to university as she had a plan she was determined to see through. Now, the 26-year-old is the owner of two companies which have turned over seven figures. Liv launched her property staging business ThePropertyStagers when she was just 16.

And in her latest venture, the mum-of-one helps women launch their own staging business. StagerBoss is now Liv's second seven-figure business, with its best month exceeding £400,000. She told Glasgow Live: "Not many people can say they’ve started two successful businesses from scratch, built a £1million brand in their teens, travelled the world delivering keynote speeches, won 13 national and international business and entrepreneur awards, delivered a TEDx talk, had dinner with the Prime Minister, and became a two-times best-selling author with an endorsement from Netflix.
"And even fewer people can say they’ve done all that – and so much more – before they were 26. "But most people see the highlights - me having a luxurious lifestyle, and going to incredible places - and they want to have that life too, but what they don’t see are the 4am starts or the sacrifices I’ve had to choose to make every step of the way. It’s taken a lot of dedication to get here.".
