hey guys! I've just finished reading MFL and Unscripted . and HOLY SHIT, these books are modern day bibles! congratulations, MJ!
so, here's my story. I am 23, living with my parents, and currently enrolled in law school, after dropping out of two other degrees (electrical engineering, and compsci).
now, although my parents earn a good income (top 30%) and can support me, this is no way to live and I am ashamed.
I have literally less than 100 dollars in my bank account, no job, and no degree. at least I am financially conscious and have no debt at all (college is free, the best universities where I live are all public)
so here's my fastlane plan:
- spend the rest of the year learning copywriting/digital marketing/web design, and practicing these skills on freelancing sites like upwork/fiverr/workana, in order to gain some money and experience (I've already completed two gigs)
- next year, with my newly found skills and money, I will start various online businesses (dropshipping, information products, etc). I know I will fail many times, but it doesn't matter as long as I am improving
- meanwhile, I will do just enough to pass classes in college, as my parents will not let me drop out of it until I am earning money (and I actually agree with them. plus, college is free anyway)
can I make a million until my 30s?
