I went from being a felon at 17 to being a millionaire at 21.
Here are 3 lessons I learned from my journey:
At 17 I was arrested for a felony.
At 18 I was broke and depressed.
At 19 I had purpose but was still broke.
At 20 I started making changes in my life.
At 21 I made my first $100,000 profit online.
When I was 17:
• I was behind bars
• My mom couldn’t afford the bail
• I was a senior with a 2.3 GPA in high school
This might sound like a cliche, but...
Online business changed my life.
How?
I saw people:
• Retiring their parents
• Buying a fully-paid-off house
• Living a life of freedom and fulfillment
This lit a burning desire in me to take action.
I completely changed my life in just 4 short years.
These 3 lessons I learned will help you do the same:
1) Shift your mindset
I had a fixed mindset.
I trained myself to have a growth mindset.
I realized mindset is the foundation of everything.
A fixed mindset STOPS you.
A growth mindset PROPELS you.
But how do you cultivate a growth mindset?
Start with the one book to rule them all:
“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.
This book explains the mindset of millionaires.
Tip:
Take copious notes.
Take massive action.
You'll be ahead of 98% of people.
As you're improving yourself, you realize...
2) Your network is your net worth
You're the average of everyone you spend time with.
This is true for:
• Family
• Friends
• Online buddies
I'm not saying you have to cut anyone out of your life.
But...
You should surround yourself with people who:
• Are where you want to be
• Will inspire you to keep leveling up
• Push you to go beyond your excuses
Improving your network is the fastest way to improve yourself.
Here's how you find high-quality people:
Go to paid events.
Yes, it's an investment.
Yes, it can cost money you don't really have.
But yes, it's a decision that will completely change your life.
You'll meet people who can help you in:
• Sales
• Business
• Marketing
Here's a tip:
Going to general events is okay if you're a beginner.
But go to more niche-specific events as you level up.
These days I don't go to general "marketing" or "business" events.
I just went to an event called Webinarcon in Austin, TX specifically for webinar marketers.
After I started spending time with successful people...
I broke my first 6 figures dropshipping.
Then I hit $350k selling on Amazon.
I used this framework to do so:
3) The 3R Framework
Research. Revise. Refine.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
You can hit 7 figures by studying how 1 successful business does:
• Customer acquisition
• Operations
• Fulfilment
• Retention
Study what works for 30 businesses.
And then?
You'll have a solid blueprint for large profits.
You'll have a system you can rely on.
You'll have a business of your own.
This is exactly how I started my own $350k/mo business.
Use this strategy to start your own today.
