When my wife and I got married in 2012, I told her, "Brenda, I took you out of your castle to live under a rock. I will find a way to build ourselves a castle that we can fill with children and good memories."

But I failed to keep my promise.

Until...

\thread\
My wife's family is well off economically.

Her dad is the Executive Manager of a very important company owned by the richest man in the Dominican Republic.

Her mom is a Dentist...

...and you know what they say about dentists.
When Brenda and I were dating, she used to pick me up in her big Totoya SVU.

Meanwhile, I used public transportation to visit her.

On occasion, he would walk home and arrive drenched in sweat.

(At least I know she married me for my fantastic Latino looks and not my money)
Since we started dating in 2008, she always insisted that I open an online business.

But I never follow through out of fear.

However, I experienced what it feels like to find someone who trusts you more than you trust yourself.

It's a life hack, as far as I'm concerned.
It took years for me to get over my foolish worries:

• What will they think?

• Will they hate my work?

• They'll make fun of me...

• What if I fail?
We had our first children in 2017.

And I still hadn't started my dreamed online business.

I was still fearful.

Failure and being laughed at by an * imaginary * crowd is sure to stop you in your tracks if you don't know how to deal with them.
However, in 2018, I decided to use Twitter to grow a business.

On Oct. 30, 2018, I posted my first offer on Twitter out of PURE desperation.

My mortgage was due, I had no money, and a baby to feed.
To my luck, people began buying.

That's when I realized that luck is something you create by sticking your neck out... risking embarrassment.

I had read about the idea of creating your luck...

But never quite understood it until I saw it pan out in front of my eyes.
It's crazy how a minute after you start taking action, you realize how dumb you were for not taking it sooner.
By putting my fear in a box and throwing them to the sea, I finally delivered on the promise I made to my wife back in 2012.

Today we build ourselves a castle, we have two awesome children and many good memories!

How ONE compliment changed my self-perception forever.

And why you should always praise who deserves it.

Thread
For years, I struggled to speak English in front of others.

This fear was also reflected in my writing.

I was ashamed of my lack of English fluency both in writing and speaking.

That's why I wrote my content in Spanish and used Google Translate to get the English right.
At first, Tweeting my ideas in English made me nervous.

I became too self-aware of my lack of skill.

So writing in English made this feeling double worse.

How a broke family man built a multi-six-figure business writing tweets from a Spanish-speaking third country using Google Translate to get the English right.

A thread on how ONE tweet changed my life.
"One last try,” I said to myself in October 2018.

It was the last time I would try to make money online.

By the end of that month, I had made $4K+ using Twitter.

Fast-forward to 2019.

I had already turned Twitter into 6-figure biz.

But how?
I'm just a regular dude.

I don't have any special powers.

For years, I tried to make money online.

I gave up many times.

Until I finally cracked the code.

Heres' what I did.

Who is Naura Hayden and why did she miss a unique opportunity to sell 2.3 million copies of her book?

\\ Thread
In 1982, Naura Hayden released a book called Astro-logical Love.

She printed 5000 copies but only sold 2000.

It flopped hard.

Read on to learn why...
The title didn't convey the value of this book.

It wasn't persuasive. It wasn't eye-catching.

I mean, what does Astro-logical Love means?

Is she talking about love affairs with Aliens?

Is it a mystical romance novel for women?

Or is it something else?

Nobody knew.
