<div class="bbWrapper">Hi everybody.<br />
<br />
I know, the longer you build the foundation, the better the outcome. And I understand there is no list. And I understand that you shouldn't focus on money, but on solving problems. And I understand that business is a process, not an event. And I understand that the only person that can help me is myself, and probably nobody actually gonna answer to this. And if so, fine.<br />
<br />
Even asking for help was never my thing. People don't care about others people's problems and everybody knows it. I always thought "If you want to something good, do it yourself." Because nobody else cares enough about you as much as YOU do. And even right know I've already said "I" for so many times and will say it much more and it makes me feel really bad and selfish.<br />
<br />
I was not sure if I even should write this post, but here it is. Opening my soul here. I feel like it's my only hope.<br />
<br />
Here's the deal:<br />
<br />
I am 19 years old<br />
<br />
In the long run I want a brand. I never looked at side hustles as something good. Taking people's money for the crap that you made in few hours just to make a quick buck was never for me. I want good will compounding. Reputation. Make people's lives better. Overdeliver on expectations. Bring crazy value.<br />
<br />
And all these people are saying: "Don't worry, you are just 19, you can start business at any age." Yes, you can. BUT! I don't want to do nothing and wait for a miracle to happen. I want to act NOW.<br />
<br />
BUT,<br />
<br />
Right now I need to make 200$ in 14 days. Like ASAP. Of course I could borrow it from people I know, but that's still leaves me the same useless person. I have to know how to <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">make</span> this.<br />
<br />
And you probably laughed after reading this: "He is chasing money, he can't make a buck, what a loser!" And you'll be right. Right now I am a loser, but I am willing to work to change it. I've seen people saying here that 1000$ a day is EASY, I think it was Johnny Boy who said it. And I kinda understand that, but it doesn't click. The thing with “a pistol to your head, make a sale this week" doesn't work either. 1000$ a month is good money where I live. 200$ is 1/3 of avg. monthly paycheck. It's money that you could live almost a month with.<br />
<br />
But it's not just about 200$. It's about EVERYTHING.<br />
<br />
I just sit and always have an empty brain, like a fog inside.<br />
I don't play video games, I don't go out for "clubs" etc. I don't watch Netflix. I don't use tik-tok, IG, facebook etc.. Only use YouTube for watching people like MJ, Alex, Sabri Suby etc.<br />
I don't waste my time, but there is still none of it left. I always crave for more time and when I get that, I'm just lost and don't know what to do.<br />
<br />
Alex Hormozi once said: "That the basics of entrepreneurship: use what you've got. Fuel yourself with anger and sadness if that's what you have"<br />
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">FUEL TO DO WHAT?!?!?!</span><br />
If you don't know HOW to star the car, HOW to steer and HOW to get your car going, than what's the point of having a full tank????<br />
<br />
I never shared this to anyone and here's me saying it.<br />
If you read to this part - thank you. Down here are REAL feelings. And I feel embarrassed saying some of them, but that's the truth.<br />
I'm sorry in advance for this way of thinking, but that is how I feel right now. No directions, lost, mad at myself like crazy.<br />
<br />
I am:<br />
<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to make in 14 days what somebody makes in 4 hours.<br />
Mad at myself for consuming a lot, but not knowing where and how to apply it.<br />
Mad at myself for not understanding what to do.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to afford to take part in a lot of activities and experiences<br />
Mad at myself for not being mad when I see a Lexus, Mercedes or BMW.<br />
Mad at myself for wasting time when I finally have some and not knowing how did I waste it.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to afford to move out.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to afford simple things, like a cup of coffee, face cleanser etc.<br />
Mad at myself for not having a SINGLE person with the same goals around me that I could talk to.<br />
Mad at myself for willing to grind but not having anything to grind on.<br />
Mad at myself for knowing the price of everything that I buy.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to tip that taxi driver that worked on a Christmas night while everybody had fun.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to help my family.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to give a good tip to the waitress.<br />
Mad at myself because it doesn't hurt bad enough.<br />
Mad at myself for not being able to afford new clothes and having to wear old sneakers full of holes everywhere.<br />
Mad at myself for oftentimes not being able to afford food. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">Like that feeling when you didn't eat for a whole day, and you walk past some food place feeling super hungry and you see all these people enjoying their food and you know you can't even afford some. Yeah, that thing.</span><br />
Mad at myself for being <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>BROKE.</b></span><br />
Just mad at myself for being so <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!</span></b><br />
<hr /><br />
And that is how I feel.<br />
Even saying it here felt like the weight off my shoulders,<br />
Tank you MJ for creating such a beautiful place.<br />
Thank you for reading this.</div>
