2025 is coming to an endโฆ and honestly, this year has been wild. At the start of this year, I was just a 17-year-old kid with no real skills โ just a promise to myself that Iโd learn something valuable and start earning before the year ends. So I started as a crazy kid with crypto trading. Lasted a month.When I finally tried investing, I realized I had only $5โ10 saved from two monthsโฆ lost that too. ๐ Then came the โtrying everythingโ phase โ affiliate marketing, content creation, digital products, animation โ all failed. But I didnโt stop. In May, I found Python. At first, it was like reading alien language โ I wasnโt technical at all. But I stayed consistent, learned from YouTube and ChatGPT, and within 5โ6 months, I could build web scraping and automation projects. Saved $20, bought connects on Upwork, and tried to get my first clientโฆBut no reviews = no jobs. Lost connects and even hope. Still didnโt quit. After high school, I joined college and along with continued learning Agentic AI โ LangChain, LangGraph, and all that good stuff โ while keeping top grades. But deep down, something felt offโฆ I wasnโt moving closer to my goal. Due to financial issues, I left college and went all in on AI + automation.Built RAGs, agents, automations โ then discovered n8n, and it instantly clicked. Now I can build AI automations using Python + n8n, and Iโm still learning every single day. I havenโt landed clients yet, but realised one things that Iโve already won in mindset.Iโm not the same kid who just dreams โ now this kid can make not everything but something valuable for someone. I still get demotivation thoughts to give up but i always go alone and said WHY I STARTED and it fuels me ๐ฅ over all it taught me something: ***JOURNY DO NOT TAKES YOU TO SOMEWHERE INSTEAD IT MAKE S YOU SOMEONE*** Let me know if any body is similar here. or I can help someone so he help me in achieving my goal.
