Hey Everyone,
I am Nightwolf and I am only 16 years old. Last year I asked out my crush and she rejected me, it was the most pain I had ever felt, it was like a knife through my heart. Consequently I dove into self-help. Read some bestsellers like Atomic Habits, Mindset etc. My instagram feed was soon replaced with motivational videos and quotes. That is when I discovered it..... entrepreneurship. I used to believe that businessmen were evil and bad. I laugh and scoff thinking of it now. I decided that I will become a rich entrepreneur.... why? you ask? Because I want to show them its possible.... and I want to help people. My dad wants me to go to college and get a job. I wont spend 50 years of my life chasing weekends...yeah like that's happening. I will make everyday a Saturday. I will help others get there too. This might sound ridiculous coming from a kid but I have decided and it will come to pass.
Where I live, we are constantly met with beggars and street vendors trying to sell us a balloon or a half-broken toy. Seeing them breaks my heart, so when I own a company, I will offer them jobs and a place to stay for a few weeks till they get paid and can look after themselves. I will pay for their education, I will actually make a difference in this world.

Well this is me guys. This is who I am and where I wish to be. Happy to be a part of this forum and I truly hope I can build meaningful relationships here and maybe even find a mentor.

Love it.

I want to see what you can really do. I hope you'll share your progress along the way.

Those rejections will make you strong and lethally effective.

You don't need a mentor.

You have all the plans of what you’ll do when you’re rich

How will you get there?
Good question. I have thought about it before but not as much as I should've. But it goes something like this-
I don't have a bank account yet, you get that when you turn 18, so as soon as I turn 18 I will get myself a bank account and start freelancing to get some capital.

A new college has been opened up in my country (my dad is open minded about it but still prefers traditional college) and this college teaches by doing. It does not give you assignments or papers to write but instead the project is to make your own start-up or earn paychecks by freelancing or drop-shipping. This college really does teach entrepreneur skills and I plan to enroll in it. Until then I plan to teach myself skills.

I already can build modern websites from scratch and currently I am diving deeper into the design part of it. I then plan to learn video editing, marketing and sales, whilst absorbing all the knowledge I can from books and other sources on YouTube.

If you can suggest anything else that I should do during this time or maybe suggest what I should do once I have accumulated enough capital I will be really grateful.

why do you have to freelance online?

are there any in person services you can do that people will pay big bucks for?

Not in my country, no. People here are extremely hesitant about paying money to "kids".

Great to have you
And hear your determination.

Big ups man.
Thanks for realising this at your age.

Over ten years ago I was 16. I keep wishing I had read TMF then, I would have started earlier and hit some jackpot earlier.

You probably will have a great impact on your community and the world.

Let's stick around the forum. Lots of gold in here.

Use regret to your advantage. That is how the 1% become who they are.

I'd rather not share this. I have changed my mind about this college. I now want to go to a reputed management college.
