7 years ago I lost the savings my parents saved for me trying to start a dropshipping business 6 years ago I started picking individual & penny stocks and losing my first job's paycheck on them 5 years ago I was obsessed with partying. I also lost a lot of money at the time on forex & Ponzi schemes Not to mention the MLM I was a part of 4 years ago I took it back to basics and started learning about money and real personal finance! 3 years ago I was still studying personal finance aggressively but had no purpose, so I tried boxing 2 years ago I was still boxing as a distraction to keep me busy because the thought of just being an employee scared me. I was still studying personal finance... and decided to post my first video on July 14th 2024 1 year ago After posting consistently for a year straight, my life completely changed. My side hustle was starting to pick up after years of failed ones! Today I have now quit my 9-5, my side hustle became my full time job and I've never been happier. If you're persistent enough, you may just find a way, but you can't stop! Oh, and become financially literate... it makes the journey a whole lot easier!

There was so much confusion and failing in my late teens, early 20s and honestly there were points where I thought my persistence was getting me NO WHERE. But I have no idea what it was, whether it was pure delusion or just the belief that I could be more in my life, but that persistence of 7 years did finally pay off. So if you’re young or older and you’re trying but nothing seems to be happening, that is part of it. You have to go through the years of uncertainty to enjoy the years of certainty. You got this ❤️ #lifelessons #journey #socialmedia
