Yeah. So basically what I was doing, the term is I was an affiliate. Okay. So I wasn't employed with the business, but I would find businesses who have online offers, whether they're personal training, coaching, consulting, whatever the case may be. And I would be the guinea pig.

So what I would do is I would spend what little money I had to join these paid Facebook groups people who are looking for side hustles people who are looking to get in shape gym owners who want to scale their gym offers and I would go ahead and DM them hop on a phone call with them and Refer them to businesses that I was associated with got it just passing leads to their sales team because I couldn't get a sales job because who's gonna hire an 18 year old with a broken back with no experience.

So that was my way to get my foot in the door. And for what most people don't understand is for me to make $3,500 a month doing that, I had three Facebook accounts. I would send over 150 DMs a day per account until my account got flagged. I would do that seven days a week. Out of that, I would get maybe a 10% response rate, and I was still able to convert enough leads to put food on my table.

So when you're looking to start your journey as an entrepreneur, it's not going to be glamorous right away for the majority of people. Because at the time, this is still when the internet gold rush just started. There weren't people necessarily crushing it how they are today. It was everyone's trying to figure it out as they go.

The pandemic changed everyone's life, changed every business owner's life. And people were trying to fit in the gaps and find the riches and the niches. And I was able to kind of weasel my way in there.

Yeah. So the humble beginning for me was me being 18 years old. And I was like, OK, I need to make money somehow. Well, I've always heard scared money doesn't make money. I'm like, cool, got it. I had roughly five grand in my bank account, which was from playing football. So I did. I'm loaded right now. Cool. I'm good. And luckily enough, I was able to leverage credit back in the pandemic days.

If you could speak English and you had a Social Security number, you're getting something funded for you. It's just that simple. So here's 10 grand, son. So I went over $65,000 in credit card and loan debt. Holy shit. So I purchased every program I could buy. Looking back at it, you know, it was a learning experience for me because I didn't have success with the actual programs.

What I had success with was right before I was about to renew on another Amazon FBA offer, I was about to drop another $10,000 on credit, which is money I didn't have because at this point I was probably down to $1,000 in my actual bank account. I asked the guy who was about to close me, the closer on that side, I'm like, so cool, how much money do you make if I do this?

And you know when you kind of catch somebody when they're trying to be a little slick and they're just like, um, and do a little look around? I was like, aha, I found something. So how much do you make? And he's like, well, you know, it fluctuates. Make anywhere between like 10% to 15%. And for me, I was just like, well, how do I do that? I can talk to people. I can do this.

I've always been kind of good with my words. Let me do that. And that's what propelled me to being like, cool, I can just distribute leads to these businesses. And then a door opened up where I actually started being a closer. Well, I actually started as an appointment setter and I worked my way up to a closer selling online fit pros, right?
