I’m 17 years old (turning 18 in 2 weeks.) I live 15 miles north of Boston. In MJ’s books he brings up how all of us who can access clean water have it good. I’m not here to throw a potty potty bc I live in a relatively nice house with an in ground pool. All of this came before my dad died (age 6) AMD my mother became a raging alcoholic. Just a few days ago I was thrown out, I’m back now but things could get worse. I have no money so I’m going to start with getting a job. I Don’t want to be miserable like my mom. She works so hard and poisons herself for a paycheck. The world still feels so new to me. All of this is overwhelming. People telling me what to be and how to live. I’m really confused p. Can someone please share their experience of being a young entrepreneur? I have to live free. My dad died young, never getting to live out aloft his dreams. I want to live for me & him (my Why)
