December 2009 changed my life

7 replies
So, here it goes.

I am a 21 college dropout who plans to get a millionaire by the age 23. My mom told me that this is impossible and I have to go back to school, but I already showed her that if you want to do anything, you have to be smart.


At 19 years old I went to computer science college thinking of a regular $25k/year job, but soon I realized I don't want a life in a cage, get married and work for food. I went to college a few times, I saw the bull**** around and almost dropout. Instead I got into a job which paid me 200$/month, money I start using for traveling. After 6 months my boss gave me a salary of 320$/month and told me someday I'll earn more. Bull****. I quit my job and I realized I have to do something else with my life. I was sick of stupid people telling me what to do, of my parents telling my I'll never be a millionaire or earn money online. But I proved everyone is wrong and I'm going to do it.

After I quit my job I quit college too and headed home so I can start freelance, as I cannot paid my bills/rent. Instead I start working on my ideas and thinking I'll get a millionaire and I have never to go to college. I was wrong and my parents put me in another college again and I was screwed.

I was spending half of my food money in order to buy domains and hostings and other tools to make some fast money online, so I can dropout from college again and have a happy life. That did not work out from me because I was always starving and my ideas we're screwing me up. I never quit and I start believing more and more in my ideas.


I december 2009 I changed my life. Back in octomber I moved with a friend and I had to help that friend out with money. I was in the second year in college, I was living with that girl and I was waiting for my mom to put 300$ in my account every month and pay for my bills/rent. Soon I realized if I want to be a man and travel more I have to make my own money and I can't just ask my parents for money.


I december 2009 I got some money and entered a paid community full of people who we're doing money online. I was doing 200$/month with adsense because I had not time to work and I was screwed. I started writing articles for people in order to make some buck online and soon I realized I can make more money if I hire people write for me and sell those ariticles.


Because I live in a cheap country I was able to get some help with my friends in order to write articles faster and cheap. I paid my friends with some monthly money and I hired a team in order to make profit. I made over 3000$ alone profit from my friends writing articles for people I met online. Then I realize how beautiful georarbitrage is and that I can make money online by doing lots of stuff, by being smart and not working my ass.

This month I'm planning on making over 10,000$ to go to Amsterdam and have fun. I already did over 1500$ with 3 days of work and I'm planning to hit my target.

    Yep, when the stomach complains too much the head can't think very well.

    Now that is some very intense motivation!

    I realize you sell a how-to course about this but I would like to learn some more of the basics about how you put this together.

    I'm planning to hit my target.
    You know what, I believe you will.

    Cool story, thanks for sharing it.

      Congradulations! You've already learned the power of leveraging your efforts! You are beginning to work smarter instead of harder. One bit of advice. Read the best business book of 2009 "Work The System" by Sam Carpenter. You can download the first 3 chapters for free at:Work the System ? WTS Methodology

      The books subtitle is: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less!

      A few years ago Sam was working hard...80 - 100 hours per week and the stress was killing him. Today he works 2 hours per week and earns millions in the same business that he was failing at... because he implemented certain systems that work. You can do the same in any business you choose to pursue! It is very possible to reach millionaire status in 18 months time by working your system!

    Hey Farasens1,

    As stated above, Congratulations my man! I love stories like this as I started out just like this with a little twist. I remember one job really well that really pushed me over the edge, and that was when I was a welder making 15.25 an hour working 12 hours a day 3rd shift.

    I remember how hard I bust my butt just to make a paycheck that would be gone by the end of the week due to school, bills and food and I hated that. I also hated hearing people complain all the time about the job and life and just everything, which really got me down. I remember picking up a book called the 4 hour work week and reading it when I could to motivate myself.

    I already knew and was a member of the warrior forum at that time, but wasn't really involved due to many things on my plate and work being the main one. One day I was on my 30 min lunch break and I look around at everything and it was like a book was just hit upside my head.

    I said what am I doing here working this hard for someone else not happy and not really able to enjoy the beauty of life that God gave me. I told myself that I would rather work this hard for myself then someone else.

    To make a long story short and also not to steal your thread, I did research online about working from home came upon a book called the rich jerk and learned a lot but mostly affiliate marketing and then I came back here to the warrior forum to learn everything I could about affiliate marketing and from there everything just fill into place.

    I quit my job at the age of 21 told my family I am retiring from the work place and now I am 23 and have been working for myself ever since.

    That's just the short version lol

    But the point is, Keep going man run as fast as you can. You can do it no matter what people say are how many times you fail. Keep moving forward and you will be the one enjoying life on the beach with your feet kicked back looking at everyone else works their butts off liven paycheck to paycheck , not liking life, still talking about their job and not really going anywhere.

    As Timothy Ferriss said in his book "escape 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich"

    Good look partner
