She saw me do all those things, and then I would work a night shift at a fast food restaurant, just like most high schoolers do, but I was always closing because that was my only availability. So I'm talking I'd be out of my job at around midnight, have a 30-minute drive home, get home 12.30, 1 o'clock, rinse, repeat, get up, leave the house at roughly 5 to go lift again.

And that was my entire high school career. You got to think, most high schoolers are smoking weed, taking weekends off, just chilling. I'm like on a grind trying to go get somewhere. And then my first year where it's finally paying off, something out of my control happens. So her main thing was making sure one, are you physically okay? But two, what's your plan next?

Because she comes from a very traditional aspect of like viewing the American dream where it's just like, cool, you go to high school, you get good grades, you go to college, you get good grades, you get your degree, then you maybe get another degree. Maybe you get your master's degree and then you start your career and you start your career six figures plus in debt. But that's just how it works.

That's what she did. She was a teacher. Right. And the kicker was when I told her in the same conversation, hey, I broke my back and I'm dropping out of college.

That was not only one shot of, oh, my God, that's two shots of she went from feeling bad to me or bad for me to now be mad at me.

All in one conversation.

Yeah, so I had a little bit of an internet side hustle going on, right? So after my shoulder surgery, I had time, right? So I started doing this little organic outreach, sending leads to sales teams, and I was cash flowing a little bit doing that, but I had proof of concept. And when I say a little bit of cash flow, I'm talking for two months of work.

And when I say a little bit of cash flow, I'm talking for two months of work.

My first two months in sales, I only made $200. Yeah. But for me, I was ecstatic. Most people, if they work two months and only make $200, they're pissed off. Of course. But for me, I'm just like, holy shit, it works. I have an opportunity to do something that's not physical. I don't physically have to show up anywhere. I don't have to physically put myself in harm's way.

I can actually use my brain and my words and articulate myself to receive income. Well, cool. Let me just go all in on that. Because I know I didn't go down to college to listen to a professor who's making $40,000 to $60,000 a year teach me how to become successful in life when they're driving a Camry. It just doesn't make much sense. So I went ahead and I dove all the way in that.

And I went balls to the wall my first month. After dropping out of college, I made $3,500. For me, at 18, with a broken back, in bed, not being able to get up and live life, 3,500 bucks, I was like, holy shit, I cracked the code, I'm rich.
