Hello,
After a lot of months, I write a post for the second time here in this forum. I do not want to delay you if you read this so I will go straight to the point.I started the wealth journey on December of 2020
1) I had an idea about an app. I am from Greece and I live in Greece. This app will resolve a major problem that i had and many of my friends. I have discussed with many people and all said to me that was a good idea. I did a CENTS and everything was good.
2) I started to have a different lifestyle. And i am doing this until now:
3) After 1,5 months i find some old friends and decide to cooperate with me to start the app. I created a poll that answered 200 people about various questions that i had mixed about an app or other topics. The results were very good and 60% wanted an app about the field i wanted to create.
4) We started to work. I did the frontend job. I am developer, so i started create the app with ionic/angular (so what the same code produce and android and ios code) and the other 2 colleagues the backend and an admin console. The things was great and for months we did every 2 weeks meetings for progress and problems.
5) The guys left the app and me in September because they did not have it as a priority and they bored the whole thing. So i continued to work it myself and i was in attach with programmers from Fiverr to continue the job.
6) THE FAILURE: After so many months and after i have participated in another community about crypto i have discussed the idea with a youtuber that i talk in that community. And then was the revelation. Before starting the app i have searched for many weeks if something similar existed. I found some sites but they were very old but not a good app. I found 3 apps but they were abandoned and the last update was before 3 years. So i did something different and with value. BUT BUT BUT The guy i mentioned before he told me that an app was already existed about that i have described to him.
I was in socked. I believed that i have found all the solutions but i was deadly wrong. He sent me the app. And then i started to have depression....
The app was perfect. Everything that i had in my mind even the smallest detail was in there. I could not find anything to differentiate. And not only that but the app has implemented many features that i was intended to implement after many months and IF the app was a little successful.
The thing that i dislike more was that i liked the app. And that was a big hit. It had almost the same colors as the app I tried to implement. The app existed since August 2020. The team was 9 people with some of them experienced developers ( i work only 3 years in the field). They had a fund from USA ( I found these pieces of information from Linkedln) and the company exist since August 2018. They had already 275 businesses to work with them in various places in Greece. And a 33k page on Instagram and Facebook. (These numbers are big for Greece)
So the thing that i liked the app so much it hurt me a lot. I tried to find something to do better but the solutions for the field were limited to what they have created. I stopped the implementation and i was in big depression for many days.
I was again in the beginning. I had nothing, and the goal i was worked for 12 months was nothing. I thought "Ok, so you can begin again". So i had the idea for another app. The app is now globally and not only in Greece. I found something good . I can use a lot of the code that i have already created from the previous app. Also, i found from freelancer.com a guy and i am waiting to have my wage in the bank and to borrow some money from friends to pay him to do a feature from me faster and better.
Also, I am at the beginningto start a Shopify store to start dropshipping to have a cash flow. My wage is too little and i live and i help my family now in the same house. So I am very restricted with the money.
I am trying to understand how angel investors and venture capital work and how i can find something like this in Greece to pitch my idea and have some money to start it faster. It's really difficult because no information is available and the world here works differently from USA.
I also i try to understand crypto. I am in a community where we help each other and i have invested some money there too.
Why I am writing this? I don't know yet. This is a confession about the last year for me. It was partially a failure. I don't know if I have learned something actually valuable except that:
a) Never cooperate with anyone if i do not test him enough. These guys were friends they abandoned the project because they were bored and they had better things to do.
b) I learned to code better after so many months.
c) Better research and create something that is not so limited to differentiate from others.
So I lost again. Basically, i have never earned anything in my life so far except for a Bachelor's Degree but for me, that was waste of time.
But i know that i have never stopped trying for the better for 28 years that i live. I was always down and i always try to stand up.
So here I am to start again. I will have this post as a guide for me and for the others if they are interested in my progress. I hope the next time the news to be better for me.
My goal when i started in December 2020 was until 27 May 2026 to be a multimillionaire. So the one year is wasted and gone. I have almost 5 years to do it better and i should do it faster. My short-term goal is until November 2022 to quit my 9-5 job and to have 3000 Euros per month at least ( 3000 Euros for Greece is middle-class money).
Sorry for my bad English. I started to learn again after 10 years with a teacher and i do every Saturday an 1-hour lesson
Have a nice day and i hope the summer to be in an Greek island happy and free

2) I started to have a different lifestyle. And i am doing this until now:
- I wake up at 5:50 am.
- I read my goals
- I do 10 minutes of meditation
- I to exercise for about 1,5 hour
- I start my 9-5 job but i steal them 2,5 hours. So basically is 5,5 hours job and not 8 hours.
- I read for 1 hour and 5 minutes a wealth book.
- I continue my regular job and i disrupt it if i find something for that i was working or if I have spare time to do more for my app.
- After I finish my job at 5:00 pm I start work the app until 10-10:30 pm
- Monday to Friday. At Saturday I wake up at 8:00 am and i do 1 hour exercise and then until 8:00 pm i study books, articles, videos, and coding. After that I meet my girlfriend.
- At Sunday i wake up and i have a more relax morning. I go for a walk and at the noon i study again. At 8:00 pm MAYBE i will see some friends.
- That's my week in the last 12 months.
