How I made my first 100k - Thread

In this thread I’m going to take you on a journey from having $300 dollars in my bank account up until the day i reached $100,000.

It started when i was in 10th grade, I really wanted a car, cool clothes and just money to spend so that i could have friends and enjoy life.

So i looked for ways to make money.

My school sold muffins for 1.50 and literally everyone would buy them.

I went to Costo with my mom and what do you know i find the same exact muffins for sale in a huge pack.

It would cost me like 50 cents per muffin and i imagined selling them for 1 dollar.

I swear to god i did this in high school. I made about 10 bucks before a teacher told me i couldn’t do it anymore.

Current net worth: $300

The next idea i had was to flip things, i got this idea from my girlfriends mom who would buy furniture and repaint it and then sell it.

I went on offer-up and found old, ugly go karts that still worked and did the exact same thing.

Turns out you can make 100 bucks profit just for making it pretty. The most i made on a kart was 175 profit, took me a day to clean it up and sell it.

Current net worth: $800

Im currently 16 and decide i should get a job since i’m able to now.

I apply at Tillys, got denied, so i go to taco bell and KFC (joint building) and got hired.

Currently making 8.25 an hour.

I save up and buy a SAAB 9-3 for 2k (my mom helped with a few hundred bucks).

2 weeks later i run over some shit and my oil pan explodes… That sucks i don’t have a car to get to work with.

1 month and 300 bucks later i get my car back and i immediately sell it for 2,400.

Thats when I learned i could flip cars, but the issue was i had little money to start.

Current net worth: $2,000

When i was 17 i started working at a car wash.

I was vacuuming cars for 9 bucks an hour, working longer but also getting 20-40 bucks in tips per day.

I do this for a few months and then start working at an auto glass company selling windshields.

I was averaging 350 bucks per week here, making 600 in good weeks.

Current net worth: $5,500

Bought a sexy g35 for 4,800 just in time for senior year.

I was so fucking happy man, everyone thought i had the dopest car, it was rad.

I had earned the shit out of it too.

Ended up flipping that car for about 800 profit and then i started working as a care giver.

I was making 15 an hour and i bought a newer Volkswagen Jetta i bought for like 6,300.

Ended up selling the Jetta for 500 profit and bought an Audi a5 from an auction.

It had more issues than i thought and i wanted to get rid of it so i took a 400 loss on this one :/

Immediately bought an 04 purple ford fusion for 4k.

Current net worth: $6,800

Got enrolled in college to become a nurse

I remember at this point learning that i could rent out properties and make passive income, i knew thats what i wanted.

I discovered Graham Stephan.

Immediately got so inspired by him and dropped out of college to put myself through real estate school.

I was responsible for paying for my own tuition so my mom didn’t have much of a say.

Was in real estate school and learned that we only make money when we sell and i’m 18 so it might be a while before i make a sale.

“How to make money online” is what i searched on youtube that day.

Discovered Disilva, Rory and Thaddeus.

Learned about drop shipping.

First store was a bust but then i made a lion bracelet store, i was attempting to create a niche store and sell the products on niche theme pages.

Made my first sale online.

CHA-CHING

The lion store was unprofitable that changed my life forever.

Current net worth: $6,500

After the lion store, I made a watch and accessory store, I tried a few pages that were small and it was not working well, barley profitable.

I was almost ready to give up and thank god i didn’t.

I said fuck it, and tried advertising on a big page and if that didn’t work then i’d move on.

That day i made 110 bucks from care giving and 450 from drop-shipping.

Holy fuck.

I vividly remember jumping in excitement when i got home.

I was so damn happy that something really worked.

For the next three months i worked as a caregiver during the day, and when i had down time i would be on my laptop working on drop-shipping.

Net worth: 18,000

Currently 18, I took the accessories store to about 35k in revenue but after that i learned FB ads.

Thats when the moon lamp was popular.

I started that store and then 1 other and was able to get almost $800 per day for a couple months.

During the buying season i was able to make up to $2,500 some days.

At this point i stopped pursuing real estate all together, now its online business until i can straight up by houses and rent them out.

Net worth: 40,000

Drop-shipping was blowing up and i had found success fast, i knew people would want to hear my story and how i did it.

Honestly, i wanted to help them. I knew how happy it made me and i wanted other people to have that feeling.

I grew my reputation and started posting videos.

People started watching, a lot. I grew fast and before i knew it i was making 2-3k every month on the ad revenue.

People were asking for a course and i knew thaddeus, dan, and Rory made a killing off theirs so why not.

Help people learn and make money.

I made a series of videos telling people how i got started, and how i made it work.

I sold it for 300 bucks.

Got a few sales here and there, nothing crazy.

From here on out, all i focused on was growing the youtube.

Finally quit my job.

Net worth: $55,000

I posted a video that went viral

“how i made 991 dollars in 14 hours online”

yes everyone copied my title….

Course started selling well, i had set up affiliates (Pexda, Gum-road), still drop-shipping.

I had taken flight…

This is when i started making pretty serious money…

Bought a GTR.

Net worth: $70,000

I was grinding youtube like 3-5 times per week, working hard on stores everything was going so well.

Then had an idea.

I decided to discount my course 33% for 1 day on instagram and youtube.

I made 16k in 4 hours…

By the end of the day, including everything i did, i made 22k.

I was 19.

At this point i had over 110k in my account.

Obviously i can’t not explain how this made me feel, but it was INSANE.

I had no stress anymore.

I knew i was able to fend for myself and felt like i was setting up my entire life.

I had put so much work in for a little amount of money, and it just snowballed so much.

I hadn’t even started my biggest brand at this point (10k per day).

My 100k day PROFIT was still ahead of me.

But those are stories for another time....
