Hello everyone! First, I'd like to say that I'm more than glad to be here. Like, I've been as happy as a kid they gave a very chilled Icecream—since I found myself in this awe-amazing, and frightening forum.
Smiles. I don't know for others, who in some way, are still new here. But personally, I find this forum frightening, and since my day of birth, I'd say
that I've never found a forum like this one. Now, you might be wondering why it's frightening to me? I'll tell you.
It's because of the harsh truth, tough love feedbacks, comments, and answers to questions that has already been asked, and as well as the calibre of people here. People that don't fear to tell you the stone cold truth. People that don't pat you on the back. People that don't tell you the lies you want to hear. People pushing you to do, or become the kind of person you dream of becoming. People that, well...
For instance, today while reading one thread here, I got to
see "MVP" for the first time, and I didn't quite understand what it actually meant. Then, I searched the forum to know if I could find other threads which can better explain it to me in a layman's language, and hey, like something they're doing in the movie, I stumbled upon some threads.
I scrolled up and down, and one of the threads headline I saw got my attention. I clicked the thread, and was amazed, and totally scared after going through it. The kind of harsh, but pushing you to know, and become better answers that was given to the OP left me utterly speechless for some minutes—if it wasn't up to an hour.
Well, I'm learning, growing in knowledge, and becoming better every day. And no lies, I love everything about this forum, and I believe the threads, the books, and the amazing people here are
what I need to make that significant shift.
"Thank you MJ for creating this forum. You're one in a million. And thanks to everyone (you know yourselves) who has been contributing here. I can't say y'all don't know the impacts
you've been making in the life's of people here. Keep on keeping on, please!"
Alright. It's time to introduce myself. I'm Hilary Aloh, and I'm 21 years old. And, sometime ago, I got to know about this never-seen-its-kind-on-earth-unique-forum while I was mindlessly searching for:
"How I can make some few monies online, and quickly come out of the totally broke, and very depressed lane."
Okay, truth is, after I found this forum, my life at this moment is no more the same. My perspective, the way I view things, the questions I ask, and the way I look at the world around
me (in general) has started to change, thanks to some of the amazing threads I've digested here.
I'm still totally broke at this moment but despite that, I no longer ask "how do I make money online?" What I now ask is "how do I add value to my fellow man?" "How can I be of help? How can I do, or create something that can benefit, or solve some pressing needs for myriads of people?" And the rest.
I no longer look for shortcuts, and the very easy, and simplest ways to fill my pockets, and bank account with millions while relaxing in my brothers basement, and filling my mouth with popcorns. I now understand that it's about hard work, going through the painful processes, and doing the things
others fear to do. Bottom line? I'm no more egocentric, and thinking about me all the time. I now think in terms of others, and how I can add value, or help in the best possible ways.
Also, I was one ungrateful dude before now. But after I read one of Andyblack's threads, I have learnt to be more grateful by saying thanks always. It's been an amazing experience going out in your own way to say thanks to those who helped you in any way—no matter how small and in what form. Thanks so much for that thread Sir. It helped a lot. Your thread also pushed me to write, and post this. Again, thanks.
Okay. I have read the first book "The millionaire fastlane " and I believe I'd get into reading "Unscripted " this week. And, please, lemme confess: I didn't buy these 2 books. I stole (downloaded them) in online public domain. I'm totally broke, and don't have up to $3 even as I type this. But had it been I have the money, I'd have bought them to at least appreciate the time, and the great insights passed in the book. Please, find a place in your heart
to forgive me MJ, and I pray you still find me worthy enough to be in your forum.
In the book, I found out that one of the best ways to get the things you want, is by giving the masses what they want. And that starts by being a producer. And by finding ideas that meets the CENTS commandment. Now, I have some "Ideas" I wrote done in my phone's note but I don't just know what to do next.
And I'm totally broke. I have tried talking to my elder brother (he's the one I live with) but he don't seem to understand anything i have been saying. He considers everything I tell him as cock and bull story, and sometimes, it leaves me mad, more depressed and frustrated. Yes, he registered me into a place I'm learning how to sew, and that's just what he wants me to learn, and do for the rest of my life. I'm learning and doing my best but I know
this is not what I want to spend my time doing till the day I'd die.
I want to be more. I want to be an entrepreneur. My mother is really suffering, and going through a lot and I want to help her. It pains me seeing my mom go through all these sh!t, and I can't help in any way. I just want to help my mother. I want to travel the world and I want the fast cars too. And sewing can not just help me achieve these things. And it even breaks almost all the CENTS commandments.
I don't just know where to begin. And I don't have any specialized talent, or even a skill right now. I wanted to learn Facebook ads, or video editing so I can (from there) get some money to leave my brother's place, take care of myself, pay my own bills and save for starting my fastlane business. But as it stands now, I don't just have any money and this leaves me weak some times. I'm turning 22 soon. There's no time. And the worst?
My brother said I can't just leave what I'm learning to go, and hustle and do something (I'm determined to do any work/job) to get some money but he can't just allow me. And I don't even have money to buy data and
soak myself in some YouTube videos. That I'm typing this and being in this forum is thanks to the "Free basics" Google offers here.
Seriously, I don't just know what to do. I need some help. I need some advice. Please, and please. I'm kneeling down to beg; can someone advice me. Has anyone here, for once, being in my shoes?
