ABOUT SAM
SAM BASHIRY
Sam Bashiry is an Australian businessman, entrepreneur and property developer, best known as the founder and director of the award-winning company Broadband Solutions, one of Australia’s most reliable and fast growing internet service providers.
Sam’s success story is one that reflects the prosperity and opportunity available in Australia. By sharing his journey and ideas, Sam hopes to inspire anyone looking for more out of life that anything is possible, proving that with vision and determination, anyone can achieve extraordinary success.
A man who chose success beyond adversity even in the direst of circumstances. Sam was born in Tehran, Iran and his childhood was faced by the horrifying impacts of war.
Moving to Australia at the age of 10, Sam found solace in the diversity of Australian culture and the unity it provides. Driven by his determination to never face hardship again, Sam completed high school and went on to study Computer Science at University, later landing a job at a well know IT company.
He initially began work as a help desk operator and used his time to learn as much as he could. Listening to the needs of his clients and observing his tech savvy colleagues leverage their positions and skill-set to advance their careers, he became inspired to further his own.
Quickly learning the nuances of the IT industry, Sam developed exceptional sales skills, and his life experience had proven to produce an enviable ability to create an opportunity out of any circumstance, which soon saw Sam evolve a simple idea into his own business.
In 2005, all Sam had to start was $1000 and the ambition to succeed. His unwavering belief that anything is possible, and relentless hard work saw him successfully turn his $1000 into a multi-million-dollar empire in just 10 years.
His first company, Broadband Solutions, built one of Australia's largest and most reliable IP networks specifically designed for business. Now, their network carries the internet and telephony traffic for some of Australia's largest companies and government departments as well as education sectors and over 85% of hotels in Australia.
Both he and his business continue to grow, proving that Sam is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Viewing his prosperity as a blessing, Sam now utilises his business success and experience to help others achieve their dreams. Working as both a mentor and motivational speaker, Sam draws on his life experience, successful career, and a wealth of knowledge in business to encourage others to realise their own potential, delivering powerful and inspiring messages to ‘create your own quality of life’.
Sam’s dedication to ‘give-back’ expands beyond his mentorship. His hard work, drive and ambition brought him to where he is today but he believes in the importance of utilising that success to support those in need. His Philanthropic pursuits see him regularly donate his time, money and technology to various causes throughout Australia, to try and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Sam’s ambitions for business and for life are truly inspiring. He continues to pursue his dreams and is a true testament that anything is possible. His continued success proves that the sky is not the limit but merely the point of view.
For those who doubt what they are capable of, Sam’s journey is truly a story to take onboard. A story close to his heart, that he hopes will inspire those facing what seem to be boundless limitations, that life can be prosperous if you choose it to be. To prove to anyone with the courage to believe in themselves, that we are in charge of writing our own journey.
“There are moments in life, events beyond our control, that seemingly seek to define our future. Yet it is not our circumstances, but our attitude toward them that defines who we become.”
