Create a Home Based Web Design Business and Make R$15,000 + Per Month in 9 Months or Less.
Introduction
Hey guys,
So I've come a long way since I first joined this forum.
At first, I restrained myself from posting on the here because I felt that I had no real value to give. After taking massive amounts of action, I gained a series of life experiences that have allowed me to relate to most people on the forum on a much more deep and personal level.
Having been through the struggle, I now know what it's like to be in a lot of people's shoes.
I've pretty much failed in just about everything you can imagine. And honestly? That has been my biggest blessing in disguise. It's how I learned.
During this time I've done a bunch of things.
I have:
- Gotten a job in sales
- Learned copywriting
- Got my own copywriting clients
- Learned Wordpress and Basic HTML
- Got a bunch of simple web design and graphic design clients
- Outsourced work
- Got a job at an advertising agency
- And so much more.
More specifically, my failures have taught me some of my most valuable lessons.
With each failure, my knowledge and expertise increased, and enabled me faster and surer growth.
And now, I am confident that I have the at the bare minimum, the necessary mindset, motivation and skills to start my own business venture.
Why I Am Doing This
One person I worked with on the forum was @Fox
After he created this thread (How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months)
It made me want to go back and develop my coding skills.
It really inspired me that someone from Colombia is making $15,000 a month solving big problems for big businesses in the U.S. & Canada.
Since I'm getting a degree in advertising, learned copywriting, worked in sales, and know about design, I finally felt like something "clicked" for me. Something where I can put all of the skills I have acquired into a single business.
I have to start my own agency.
How I will do this
4 Steps
- Clearly decide what I want and commit (Create a home based web design agency and make R$15,000 per month.)
- Take Massive Action
- Notice what's working or not
- Continue to change my approach until I reach my goal
Modeling
- Find someone who's already getting the results I want (@Fox)
- Find out what that person is doing (How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months)
- Do the same things and reap the same results
My reason "why"
By making R$15,000 per month consistently, I will be a top 1% earner in Brasil. This will free me from the shackles of a job, allow me to comfortably live 50% or more below my means, re-invest that money saved back into my business, and most importantly, I'll have the time to focus 100% on creating a business and scaling it.

Why I Am Choosing To Make A Progress Thread This Time
I know that by making my goals public I will have an extra urge to achieve them.
It's a spark up my a$$.
The extra urge to achieve my goal can now come from another source of motivation: my “fear of embarrassment."
The truth is – we all have fear.
I am afraid that if I don’t achieve my goals after telling you how committed I am to achieving them, I will be super embarrassed.
My daily routines, work ethic, consistency, and motivation will keep me on track.
This thread too.
Final Thoughts
I hope to bring massive value to you guys through my experiences.
So enough chit-chat, let's get to work!
P.S. - 15.000 Brazil reais = 4628.13 U.S. dollars.
Definitely an attainable goal.
That's 1 or 2 sites per month consistently. (2k-5k range)
