Hey guys,
it's been a while I have written something on that forum... but I have a little story that start around that forum.
1 year ago or so I joined this forum after buying MJ's book that I found on youtube. I was 20, I had dropped college because I didn't feel like a college or university degree would help my entrepreneurship journey, actually it would kill it
since I would leave school with something where I can start to work with right away in a company. And then I would start
making more money than my ex job and I would start spending some and get in debt slowly and finaly owe time for debt and I would have been stuck in that position for a long long time.
So 20 years of age I was and still living in my mom's house I only had a car and a cellphone to pay but I never told anybody that I was living check per check .. which mean if any bad luck would happen I would be in pretty deep shit...
My small credit card limits (1500) was full I could only pay the minimum each month my cellphone was $75 a month
my car (which was a F*cking stupid move, I bought it when I was in construction but after 3 months I realize I wanted to be an entrepreneur also and I dropped the job) the car with gaz insurance and payment was about 1050 a month and I was working in a bank for 25-30 hours a week because the salary was higher than a normal job. so basically I was making only 1300 with this job each month. (if you calculate after my payment I have like nothing left to enjoy myself..) I had lost my girlfriend and I was sad every damn day about it and as a man I was crying everyday about it .. so I couldn't afford to go out also and my emotion was down each day...
I started staying home and working on myself because at that point I couldn't sell my car because I would lose 4-5k and I didn't had that money and I couldn't restart school because I had to big payment ..
So for a few months I was on that forum learning a bit about everything and once I had some money to xchange I was buying ebook about business.
And then I started listening to Eric Thomas and Anthony Robbins. I was watching youtube video for hours and hours each day because I had nothing else to do BUT slowly (after watching video and thinking about your situation from 4 P.M to 2-3 AM) My brain and attitude was starting to change slowly and instead of crying and bullshiting about my situation I looked at what I had and what I could start with.
I started the 30 days challenge which was free which was not a success BUT I really learned about it.
At that time I was doing, I mean trying to do SEO and rank keyword by myself. I was buying Fiverr gigs but with he money I was making I couldn't afford to buy a lot so I found a second job in a night club and I was working there 3 days also ... so basically at that point I had lost a lot of my friend since I couldn't go out (I was working too much) and the other part of my time I was focusing on me and getting out of that circle.
But guess what ... GOOGLE update kicked my 3 website which were making about 100-300 with clickbank product per month.
I was now F*cking more sad .. lol .. I didn't know what I could do because now the thing I was doing I had no control over it.
So basically I got lucky at some point to meet a person in here which is basically 99% of my success today because he has helped me mentally a lot and he has guided me.
He introduced me to PAID traffic which at first was looking F*cking dangerous and hard .. so each week I had like 100 left from my 2 jobs to spend on paid traffic ..
Oh dear god... I struggled for a few months before even making a penny!!!!! I had to learn all techy stuff and how to create banner because I couldn't afford to pay someone ...
BUT one day ... I spent that $100 of traffic in 1 hour and I had 190 BACK ... I was freaking out and that where it all started ... I was getting paid monthly so each week I would try to cut on everything I didn't need that I was spending on.
so after a month I had earned like 600 profit and then reinvested, reinvested now more money let's scale etc ..
Today, ohhh today I wish I was more grateful than I'm ... for the last 4 months I have been earning high $$,$$$ profit a month and I'm on my way to my first $$$,$$$ profit a month.
But the thing is ... I'm not here to show you how much I'm making today, I'm here for you guys out there that are struggling ... I mean if you look at my english it's better now but when I first started ... my english wasn't that good, I was poor, I had lost my girlfriend and I had no more time for my friend but I was 200% into it my focus and my mind was thinking about it every single second of each damn day. Even when I was doing bad at it I was telling myself I'll find another way until I get it. In my mind that was that simple I'll die poor trying or I'll die rich ... forget about all this pain and all the judgement all over you that is ILLUSION only ...
Success isn't even about being better or having more skill than the other people ... you'll start figuring out that people that make a lot of money are often very stupid people... but they have one thing that others doesn't have and it's the right mindset ...These guys are leader - winner ... not losers ... if you can program your mind for something with all your energy and focus you'll accomplish whatever you want ... and stop being in a hurry to earn money .. be patient and learn everything you can and just go through the process .. there is nothing else .. a process that you have to go through and the tougher will go through it because their mind want it more than the other people period.
I just would like to take the time here to thanks Dale AKA: I don't really remember his name on here Zendurophin (something like that)
Before I leave ... I would like to have these guys that are still struggling out there to make me a promise to start now in 2013 and promise me they will commit their entire energy into it even if it take 9 months to make a damn penny out there because once you find out to make a penny of profit out there 10 million is a lot a lot closer than you can think ... it's just a matter of leverage and scale.
Now the question is are you willing enough to go through that pain and become a winner or you are still going to find excuses and give up?
PS: program your mind everyday with great people ( at least for 1-2 hours a day morning and before sleep and try to feel and believe it in you) you'll slowly see changes and feel more powerful about thing you can achieve.
