Transcript

I lost $20,000 today and I think I just destroyed everything I've built in the past 6 months. 8 months ago my family and I paid off over $60,000 in my student loans. But my sister? She was still buried under $200,000 of student debt. And while she carried that weight, I was about to quit my 6 figure job to build an online business. My parents thought I was insane. My sister even told me, if you're struggling I'll loan you some money. I nodded, but in my head I promised myself: I will NEVER ask. So I worked nonstop and 4 months later I somehow made over $40,000. But instead of feeling rich, I felt fear. Then tax season came and the IRS took over $9,000 from me. My months of effort were erased in minutes. That's when it hit me. If money can leave that fast, then I wanna choose where it goes. So I called my sister today and wired her 20 grand, the largest transfer of my life. Because even if my business dies tomorrow, at least I'll know I've used it to change someone else's future. Now I have a new mission. I'm going to erase my sister's student debt. Follow along and watch me do it.
