| [Washington Examiner] With a booming economy and growing optimism among American consumers, the U.S. has certainly become the best place in the world for aspiring entrepreneurs to start and grow a business. One such example is the story of Sergio Abi-Naked and Dirk Abinakad, owners of Simply Carbon Fiber, who have taken full advantage of the Land of Opportunity after moving to the U.S, from Lebanon. With persistent hard work and tenacious determination, the duo successfully developed an exclusive brand that sells carbon fiber accessories to consumers across the globe. Their collection of accessories, ranging from shock-proof "armor" iPhone cases to highly-durable sunglasses and watches, is crafted from the same 100 percent real carbon fiber found on the world’s most luxurious supercars. Moreover, everything is designed and shipped (proudly) from the U.S. Sergio moved to America when he was just 3 years old, while Dirk made his journey when he was 9 years old. The two young businessmen believe America was the ideal place to successfully start a business and grow it freely with little regulation or restrictive laws. "Our families came to America for a better future and to live in a more stable country. Other countries have very strict rules and laws on working or collaborating with other businesses," Dirk told Red Alert Politics. "It was also very hard to obtain business ratings or reviews, and thankfully business information is much more accessible in America." After Sergio made an initial investment with the last $300 of his bank account, he and Dirk started the company in 2014 using eBay and Dirk’s large Instagram presence, which has more than 500,000 followers. The two had the idea of starting something together and "making it big." "From then on, Dirk and I invested every single penny into the company and recycled earnings that we made. We invested everything back into the company and now we have 60 products that’s growing to 120 by the end of this year," Sergio said in a phone interview with Red Alert Politics. |
