Financial Freedom 101

Since the start of this blog back in 2018, I have been infatuated with trying to monetize online through various ideas, like dropshipping phone chargers or starting a paid stock group chat. I was in an endless battle of trying to make money online from anywhere on Earth, experimenting with tons of different things until something finally stuck—all thanks to networking with other individuals on the internet.

Building an online business has been one of the biggest grinds of my life. I have never experienced anything more challenging yet fulfilling at the same time. Moving out of my hometown four months ago has helped my business explode. With zero distractions, just grinding over the last four months, I’ve added a million dollars in revenue by hyper-focusing on one thing and setting goals each month.

Networking on the internet has been the key to my success. We now work with some of the biggest franchises in America, including roofing companies doing $300 million a year. I’m also working on a deal with one of the fastest-growing painting franchises in the country. From a cold message, I was able to get the CEO on the phone and start working with 10 of his franchisees within two weeks. If we do a good job, we’ll become the preferred marketing partner, which could change my life overnight. It’s going to be an absolute grind, but luckily, I have the right partner and have built the perfect team to handle such a big contract. If it wasn’t for a simple message on LinkedIn and Twitter, I wouldn’t be in this position. All it takes is confidence and persistence to land opportunities like this. No matter what anyone thinks or tells you, always trust your gut. If you haven’t failed yet in life, you haven’t taken enough risks.

The biggest takeaway from all of this is: don’t listen to anybody who tries to judge you or tell you how to live your life. When I started this business two years ago, anyone would have told me I was crazy for thinking I’d reach $3 million in top-line revenue in year two. But all it takes is one year of focus and hard work to change your entire life.

My partner and I are not the smartest guys on Earth, and we’re not reinventing the way marketing works—anyone can start this business. We started with $200 and gave it everything we had. One and a half years later, we made more in this month alone than we did in all of 2023.

The secret sauce behind this growth is showing up every single day, hungry and ready to tackle any problem or battle that comes our way. We’re not afraid to post content or to reach out to people at a higher level than us, which has allowed me to make connections with high-level individuals all over the country.

From the start, we said we were going to build an online empire, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. In any Tier 1 or Tier 2 city across America, there’s a high chance we have a client doing business there.

As we head into the fourth quarter of 2024, most people tend to cruise through the last four months, distracted by football, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. But I’m not letting my foot off the pedal for anything. My goal has always been to build a solid foundation in my 20s and 30s so I can cruise through the rest of my life.

The friends and connections I’ve made over the years have given me an unlimited amount of resources and knowledge that is priceless. The key to all of this is not listening to anybody but trusting your gut and giving 1000% effort every single day. That’s how you change your life.

Hard work pays off.
