Thomas F. Seymour, a 48-year-old from West Hartford, Connecticut, has lived a life marked by challenges. Diagnosed with polio as a child, he has spent his life without the full use of his legs and grappling with the additional difficulties that come with the disease. Yet, despite these obstacles, Thomas has managed to carve out a successful online business, proving that determination and resilience can lead to triumph.
When I first met Thomas, he was in his yard, spreading a pile of mulch, 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall, while seated on the ground with a shovel. His garden, filled with wildflowers and vegetables, was a testament to his hard work and dedication. It was clear that Thomas did not let his disability define him or limit his capabilities.
Everyday tasks that most of us take for granted can be time-consuming and challenging for someone with Thomas' disability. Yet, I have never seen Thomas complain or allow himself to be deterred by these challenges. His perspective on success is unique and inspiring, offering valuable lessons for us all.
Thomas once told me that he wanted money to come to him "from everywhere". He preferred to earn a dollar from thousands of people rather than a thousand dollars from one person. With this idea in mind, he launched his first online business, "The Gold Link" [^1^].
He managed to secure a competitive position in the online gold market by offering high-quality solid 14kt Italian gold at an Internet low of $10 per gram. However, the challenge was getting traffic to his online store.
For three years, Thomas persevered with The Gold Link, despite the credit card processing fees and web hosting fees eating into his modest monthly profits. He invested a significant amount of money in many ineffective Internet marketers.
His breakthrough came when he discovered a book offering "Guaranteed Front Page Placement in all the Major Search Engines for under $100" [^2^]. Thomas mastered the search engines and started attracting targeted traffic to his Gold Link website. This success led to our meeting.
When I met Thomas in his third year of owning The Gold Link, he shared his struggles with me. He had spent thousands of dollars on promises of high traffic and front-page search engine placement that never materialized. His main problem was a lack of traffic, which resulted in a lack of sales and financial loss.
However, Thomas never considered giving up. He continued to grow and add other businesses to his multiple income streams. His next project is an Internet Mall.
When I asked Thomas about his success, he said, "Success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile goal or dream." His dream is to walk again and he is open to being a case study patient for any doctor willing to try a leg transplant or robotics/bionics. Until then, he plans to make enough money with his Gold Link site to fund his dream.
In a world where Thomas F. Seymour was challenged by physical limitations, he found a way to triumph. He focused on opportunities rather than obstacles. The Internet removed his physical limitations, allowing him to compete with multimillion-dollar startup dotcoms and win. The Internet has truly leveled the playing field for all of us.
