Henry Aflecht has written his own biography. Timo Kiiski
Henry Afflecht tells in his biography how he became a millionaire. He started his working career as a child by distributing advertisements, among other things.
However, the man who got lost on the criminal path had not been quite as successful as he had hoped after going to prison in the 1990s. At that time, he decided to make a change of direction in his life.
– It was September 1997 and the cake was frosted. The decision to live an honest life had been made, and I had not the slightest thought of breaking it.
After the prison sentence, he decided to accept all the jobs that were offered to him in order to get the property surveyed again.
– Things on the housing side started to interest me, and I started actively looking for properties to renovate. I kept the tools in my hand well and was efficient. When I never had any working hours anywhere, or mostly restrictions, all project-related work was quite productive. Normally, the gang went to work in the morning and finished at around five. I used all the hours to work. I was never lying on the sofa in a dream. Never, he says in the book.
In addition, Aflecht had a long career as a doorman at various restaurants and worked on numerous TV shows. He invested the money carefully and thoughtfully.
– I heard a few times that I shouldn’t be given door shifts because I didn’t need money. It was a strange sight. So you should have stopped the dunes if you had accumulated capital. Fortunately, none of the door openers paid attention to such speeches, Aflecht states in the work.
Criticism Aflecht says that he has also received criticism in connection with his investment housing business. However, he kept his head.
– Many wondered about the strategy of my investment apartments and their location. I try to buy as many as possible from Pukinmäki in Helsinki. The area, where many policemen live, remains calm. Next to the train station, very Vetävä Kehä I, fast access to everywhere and great bus connections on top of the store, Aflecht lists the reasons.
Aflecht believes that one big reason behind his success is an unconventional mentality.
– My head can’t leave things to the future. If there is something to do, it must be done right away. I grew up like that. It has also always been the red thread of my income. If I have received a request for a quote for a job, I have always responded immediately. Not tomorrow or after the weekend, but right away.
