I was 16/17 years old when I first saw a video from "Team Jetset" the OG's will know. These guys showed the fancy lifestyle of dropshipping. I became obsessed with making money online. I was decent in school, and was accepted into the University of Western Michigan. I was a wild teenager and smoked a lot of weed, drank, and sinned a lot. I wanted to make money online, smoke weed, and drive foreign cars. I would watch facebook ad videos everyday nonstop. I wanted to find a winning product before I had to go to college, because university was only a backup plan. I was very poor. food stamps, free school high school lunch, no new clothes, but I was able to go to a private catholic all-boys school because my dad went there. I lived in basically the projects. I saw everyone else and how they lived, nice houses, beautiful cars, I felt embarrassed. I knew I wanted to be successful. I bought my first truck for $600 at 18 because we didn't have enough money to get my drivers license when I was 16 like everyone else. I lied to people and said some b.s story on why I didn't have a car or license. I spent thousands on facebook ads from working at a party rental company in highschool, even sold my car for adspend to find a winner. I found a product (vitamin e oil lol), scaled it to $30k in 1 month but ad account ended up getting banned, payment processors banned me. (This made me really good at running digital ads, which came in handy for my agency) So I thought, dang it. I have to go to school. I was going to become a nurse and use all of my money investing into an online business. I ended up going to jail at 18 for public intoxication and it changed my life. I was on probation for 9 months. I went to college for 2 weeks and I had the tuition on FAFSA or government aid because my mom died at 16, and my dad lived paycheck to paycheck. FAFSA told me I had to wait 6 weeks to get my money for books. So I thought screw it I'll drop out and start a lawncare business and use that money to invest online.
