Hey everyone.
I'm a sixteen (soon seventeen) year old guy. One and a half years ago I read the Millionaire Fastlane , and has since then tried to get rich.
I started 30 different ideas, and quit before even launching. Then I started a thermos company for athletes, sold 15 bottles - but I have now quit that, as it is unlikely to align with my goals.
My perception of wealth has been "Having enough money to live however you want, for the rest of your life".
"Enough money" used to be millions for me. Now? It's about $4k-$5k a month, from 4-5 hours a work.
If I had $10M, I would likely want to live the same way as if I had $10k.
What I want is to travel, meet new people, take care of my body, and spend time in nature.
I want to travel to Italy, South Korea, Canada and more. $4k-$5k is more than enough for me.
I feel like everyone think's being wealthy is having a lot of money, but I believe wealth is having enough money to have freedom, meaningful connections and health. As MJ says.
Sure, i want to make a big business and have a big exit and experience classical "wealth", but not yet.
I don't want to waste my youth in the pursuit of millions, when it won't change anything about my lifestyle.
So: My goal is to make $4k+/ month, and once I graduate high school, I'm leaving. I will spend 1hr/day on my business, sometimes less, often more (I like working) and the rest of the day:
I will workout, run, explore, swim, hike, bike, talk, socialize, love.
That is heaven to me. Freedom, meaningful connections and the ability to fully take care of my health.
What's my plan:
I will start a company focused on helping people start their business. I mean setting up websites, backend (as a Shopify Partner), socials, automations, content plans, email marketing and other technical stuff so they can focus on what they do best.
I will do most work myself (for now), and only outsource outreaches to begin with. Retainers feel great, consistent, regular income. Therefore I will also offer A/B testing websites, email marketing (with A/B testing), organic marketing (quite good at this tbh, also with A/B haha) and more. Then I'll also help educate and train them on how to do this, and give them monthly reports with the A/B testing results.
I feel like I can provide value this way, and making $5kish this way is very realistic. And it's also quite easy to automate.
I have two years until I graduate, and by then, i really hope I'm making $5k/month. I will do my best.
What is your opinion on this? Thank you for reading, and have a great day.
