hi all.
I’ll try to keep this short,
My story:
Basically I’m from a third world country, I graduated as a lawyer because I everyone said lawyers made lots of money (which is far from the true here in my country).
Lucky I hated the experience since the first year I got into law and, during all of my graduation, I tried side gigs to make money: throwing rock n Roll parties, blogging/ YouTubing about movies and games (wasn’t aware of the Need commandment), dropshipping … needless to say that everything failed.
Right after I graduated, I discovered “day trading” and lost $5000,00 (I know it’s not a lot but if we convert to my currency that is a lot of money).
Anyway, I was making less than 300$ as a lawyer and was constantly losing money on day trading, that’s when I read the millionaire fastlane and all of the other books that MJ wrote.
I was aware that I didn’t have the skills required to build something that would free me but I knew what I had to do.
I stoped day trading, started studying how to build websites and how to run ads. I was still clueless on what I should do but I kept studying.
One day I discovered I could apply for remote jobs on the US. I tried in 4 different companies and got an internship in my fourth try.
That was a huge thing for me, the stipend they paid was the double amount of money that I was getting by being a lawyer.
After 6 months working there, I became a full contractor and nowadays, when I convert my monthly salary to my currency, it is 8 times more than what I was making in a month as a lawyer.
It has changed my life !
