Goal : Make 1 Billion dollars and give it away
Why : To reduce suffering and give more people an opportunity to do similar. Living in Bangladesh I am surrounded by people who were beaten by life's unfairness. These people lost the chance of 'making it' at birth, as due to circumstances they had no education and are stuck doing low-level jobs. I want to change that for future generations.
Failure : I have been playing games for the last 10 years aka all my teens have been wasted in video games. So I wanted to make a game for which I found a strong need in the market. So I got into massive execution and learned the whole game development process in just three months( except programming, I learned it in school). I learned 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation and how to use Unreal Engine 4. But after 3 months of executing every waking hour, I realize the sad fact that making a game by myself would not be really viable as the type of game really needed a small dev team to have a chance of getting built. This gave me mild depression and for the next 3 months I did nothing and here I am writing this. Tired of doing nothing and sinking deeper into hating myself for not taking action.
Next Up : I am eyeing a big problem in the game development industry, but the solution is going to be capital intensive so I need money. But I am only 20 and need to go to University in Canada in September for my Plan B, to get into AI and ML solve problems with them if my next game dev venture falls apart. I have about 6 months of more free time and want to utilize it to build a foundation to learn Unreal Engine 5 and understand how it works deeply. Learn machine learning and build a SAAS app to gain experience. Don't want to chase quick money and build a strong foundation as billion-dollar problems are not that easy to reach without a lot of knowledge.
I have gone through a lot of execution threads and intros here and no one seems to aim for a Billion dollars or at least no one seems to admit their crazy goals. So why am I admitting my crazy goal here? To find out if people like me are actually as rare as it seems, and also to take feedback from enterprise entrepreneurs and MJ himself if possible and of course to record my journey.
I will update this thread monthly.
