From a 2.8 GPA in high school to a 6 figure business owner making 400K a year
Transcript
I had a 2.8 GPA in high school. I had multiple teachers tell me I wasn't going to be anything in life. I didn't get into the college of my dreams, I got denied twice. And I make $30,000 a month. And I'm going to explain how I do it because it doesn't actually matter how well you do in school to become a successful entrepreneur. I struggled at school so bad. You can ask anyone that knows me from my hometown, me and school did not go together. I went to school because I was an athlete. Point blank period. That's the only reason I showed up. I now today own my own business at the age of 29. At the age of 28, I launched my own business. I'm now doing multiple six figures and I make $30,000 a month where well into doubling that here shortly. And I plan on being a millionaire by the time I am 30. And this is just a test to tell you if you're not good at school, who gives a shit? If I'm being honest, who gives a shit? You don't need to know gas, liquids and solids. Okay? Y equals MX plus B. You need to know how to count money. You need to know how to count money on your phone and you need to learn how to make your money make you money in your sleep. You need to learn the stock market. You need to learn how to write a check. You need to learn the difference between an asset and a liability. You need to learn real life skills that school will not teach you at all. I love Bill Nye the science guy, but I don't need you in my life. People were so, you're not gonna be anything in life because I didn't have good grades. Grades has nothing to do with real life. And I think what broke me away from the pact was my work ethic. I have worked non-stop. I've worked since I was 16 years old. I've worked multiple jobs in high school. I worked multiple jobs in college. The one thing that high school doesn't teach you and they're not going to teach you is work ethic. And you either have it or you don't. One thing about me, I'm a grinder. I'm a grind until the wheels fall off and I'll figure out a way to make it work. And if I don't know how to do it, I'll teach myself how to do it. That's how I did it with my online business. I knew the ability to make money online was so insane, but I didn't know how to do it. So instead of sitting online and waiting for someone to come save me, I downloaded a course and watched YouTube videos and watched people on social media and I taught myself how to create a successful online business. I launched my business in January of 2026. My business has already profited over 100,000 and profit just from sales alone. And I'm projected to double that in the next two months. I told my dad I was gonna be a millionaire by the time I was 21. When I was 21 years old, I told my dad I'm gonna be a millionaire by the time I am 30. And I don't play around when it comes to that. And I don't want you to think that you're shit because someone told you that you weren't good enough because you didn't have good grades. It means absolutely nothing. Have you guys ever heard the term A students work for C students? C students open their own businesses. The A students work for the C students. I'm telling you. That's just how it goes. So take it from someone who makes $30,000 a month at a 2.8 GPA in high school, you can do anything you set your mind to as long as you have two things, okay? Work ethic and discipline. And consistency. You have to show up 24/7. So three things. Work ethic, discipline, and consistency. You have to show up 24/7. Those are the only three things you need to make something of your life.
