Sam Morgan Reading Comprehension
📖 Reading Passage: Sam Morgan - Kiwi Entrepreneur
Sam Morgan is one of New Zealand's most successful young entrepreneurs. Born in 1981, Sam grew up in Wellington and showed an early interest in computers and technology. At just 23 years old, he founded TradeMe, New Zealand's largest online auction and classifieds website.
The idea for TradeMe came to Sam when he wanted to sell his old car but found the process difficult and expensive. He thought there must be a better way for New Zealanders to buy and sell items online. In 1999, Sam started building the TradeMe website from his bedroom, working long hours to create something special.
TradeMe quickly became popular with Kiwis. People could list items for sale, from cars and houses to books and clothes. The website charged small fees for listings and took a percentage of sales. By 2006, TradeMe had over one million registered users and was sold to Fairfax Media for $700 million dollars!
After selling TradeMe, Sam didn't stop being an entrepreneur. He started investing in other New Zealand technology companies and founded Jasper, a company that helps other businesses grow. Sam believes in supporting young Kiwi entrepreneurs and often speaks at schools and universities about following your dreams.
Today, Sam Morgan is considered a role model for young New Zealanders who want to start their own businesses. His success shows that with hard work, creativity, and determination, anyone can turn a simple idea into something amazing.
