Hey, guys.
I want to make money.
I want to figure out how finance, investing, trading, and the blockchain technology works, and then teach people like me how about it. Because...
I've spent the last decade “dabbling” in a dozen businesses from pc repair kid to a door salesman closing high ticket products (avg $45k). I spent as much time reading and watching comics and cartoons, and masturbating. The one thing that hurts the most is I stop halfway. I can’t help losing focus, hope, and motivation. I spent so many hours which amounted to nothing. I admit I was desperate to win. I kept repeating the same cycle over and over again. I just wanted to die.
I don’t remember how many times I tried to kill myself.
– But I couldn’t…
I had a family and a kid I wanted to be a role model for. I had younger siblings I wanted to paved the path for. I just couldn’t pull the plug on my life because that wouldn’t be unfair. I knew ending things the easy way would go against who I was. I hated that feeling, but what I hated more was the smell of food stamps. If you’ve ever been on food stamps, you know it’s F*cking addicting.
Food stamp is a trap; it’s drug that keeps on giving.
If you don’t know what food stamps are, all you have to know is you don’t want to be on it. It’s a government assistance that makes you feel like shit. To qualify, it feels like you have to tell your case worker how many times you’ve had sex, the positions, and how long you lasted per session. You don’t get your privacy. To make it worst, most people not on the system will talk shit about food stamp recipients and complain about how their taxes are wasted on these “lower life forms” who don’t do shit but leech.
So my whole life, I hid the fact that I was poor and didn’t have the confident to shine. I kept up with trends, and my poor mom paid for it. She worked under the table and did odd jobs to spoil us. I didn’t know how much she went through until I was in my teens. But from the earliest I can remember, I couldn’t think of anything else except I wanted to die.
I was abused from a young age and was ordered to fetch water, cook food, and run errands by one of my older sibling. I was seven or eight when I contemplated taking my life with a belt. I was punched and kicked from head to leg if I was too slow or just because. I went to my single mother for help, but she didn’t do anything except said a few words.
My life went:
1. School
2. Back home
3. Abused
You see, I hated how I was living; the inability to speak out; the feeling of working for someone; and the fact that I wanted to succeed without depending on anyone...but the reality is, things don’t work that way. I realized I needed to change in high school, but I was pretty f*cked up mentally and emotionally. I used to be a bright and outgoing kid until I was shut down – hard. Everyone wondered why I stopped speaking and only nodded or said a few words: yes, no, maybe.
But something clicked one day. I forget the exact moment like many childhood memories, but I wanted to change for real. So the next decade following high school graduation, I spent many hours re-programming my childhood, mindset, attitude, health, and habits.
I read and watched:
BUT – here’s the kicker:
I failed every one of those businesses.
Even after a decade, I’m still at the same place with a college degree, career, or income. I tried to go back to college several times. I’m now $15,000 in debt, but still on food stamps. How does that work?
ANSWER:
Change is hard.
So here’s what I did...I came to accept that I cannot win alone. I need as much help as I can. No one made it to where they were without standing on the shoulders of giants (Robbins, T). I’m no exception. I have a shit ton of flaws, but I have strengths too. It was months ago when I decided I have to change again. But before I did, I need to end my dependence on food stamps.
Food stamp is toxic. The case workers. The community. The outsiders. It’s like gossip, you just can’t have enough of that shit. You can’t think about success and food stamps at the same time. You can’t have a healthy outlook without food stamps impacting your state of mind. Food stamps is not a blessing; food stamps and the stereotype surrounding it will trap you and kill you slowly. That’s why removing any form of addiction is my priority.
Conclusion:
I’ve read the most popular intro. threads from all the way back in 2012’s. There’s smart a$$ individuals with multiple degrees, established careers, and the young and hungries, but they’re still struggling to break into the fast lane from the sidewalk and slow lane.
What does that tell us?
Smarts has nothing to do with it. This means a college dropout and math illiterate like me shouldn’t have to worry about anything. This fast lane is all about time, energy, effort, and motion. I believe it.
I spend almost 30 years of my life re-programming my past. I won’t compare myself to you inspiring millionaires in your 20’s, 30’s 40’s, etc. I accept that my life hasn’t been the best, but I won’t be outwork by you. If I did, that means I let my self-limiting belief stop me short again, and there is no excuse for it.
I don’t just want to be another poser who became inactive and dropped out shortly after posting their introduction. To avoid that, I have decided to get into affiliate marketing in the finance / investment niche doing:
I’ll be sharing my journey on the PROGRESS / EXECUTION thread. I know every type of support from you Fast Laners will help!
See you on the other side.
