How I paid off 20k in debt in under 2 years.
2 years ago I had no idea what I was doing with my life.
I was in a failing relationship, I was running myself into more and more debt monthly, and really had zero financial intelligence and felt lost.
Now fast forward 2 years...🧵

1/ I now have 3 businesses, I own a condo living in the city I have always loved, and I make more in 1 month than I did in a full year.
How did I get here?

2/ Firstly, I owe it to say this - I would not be here where I am without my parents - they have always been a soundboard for everything in my life.
They have talked sense into me when I have needed it.

3/ When I was first launching my business and the other businesses - they had nothing but confidence in me that I was going to succeed.
It's easy to get lost in life...

4/ especially when you get trapped on a runway and continue to go down that path - life goes by fast daily and it can be easy to get off track and continue on the wrong path - that was me 2 years ago.
5/ I was working a 9-5 (I have nothing against 9-5's by the way.) and I was continually was spending MUCH more than I was making - credit card debt was going up and I was doing zero investing.
6/ One day on my drive home from work (I daydream a lot when I drive.)
I had the idea to launch a cleaning business - my parents use to own a Commercial Cleaning business when I was younger (they sold it) so I understood the fundamentals of the industry.

7/ I have literally been in this industry since I was in diapers. lol
I decided to start this cleaning business fully remote - I was living in Philly and I launched it in my hometown in Canada BC.

8/ Little did I know a small house cleaning business would snowball into grossing revenue of 20k per month in under my first year.
I was able to leverage that cash flow to pay off all my credit cards - all my loans - and I had a 20k/month cash-flowing business.

9/ WAS IT EASY? Not at all.
I was working a 9-5 full time and running a business remotely, it was hard - I worked 10-15 hour days 7 days a week for over a year straight.

10/ My work visa ended, I moved back home - then I went all - in on my business - I started implementing systems, I automated, and I scaled even larger.
AND now here we are doing 50k+ months and working less than 10 hours a week.

11/ This is a high level summary and does not go into a ton of detail but...what I will say is I had a small dream that day when I was driving and had a business idea.
I think thats all you really need in life....
