Back in 2017 as I stepped off the plane back in Charleston.

I had $142 to my name.

And after paying a bill I was left with around $80 in my pocket.

For a second I felt like a total loser, but quickly corrected my brain.

As feeling sorry wouldn’t save me.
So instead I picked up my phone and got to work.

What work?

Well I needed to find something to sell other than my time.

And 35 minutes of searching I had found a coach and a few other items.
My next problem?

I needed a truck as my car couldn’t fit all of the items, let alone a couch.

After arranging to borrow a truck I drove to pick to pick the items up.

The first 2 items were free. And I got the coach for $80.
2 hours later I was at my friends house where I’d be storing my items.

I quickly listed them and within 4 day’s I’d sold every single item.

And was $500 richer.

With enough money left over after bills to buy me a cigar the next day.
Over the rest of that year I found better ways to do things.

Such as...

- what items to sell
- the best places to sell them
- how to overcome not having a truck
- and much much more

Here’s everything I learned to turn $80 into 3k+ per month: https://gumroad.com/l/make-your-first-3-k/

Back in 2016 I was a fat fuck. Broke living paycheck to paycheck. GF who thought I was crazy

“Dylan you should just get a job and get real. You’re 21.”

2 months later I left her.
And quit my job.
It was April 2016

My plan was to drive for UBER however very quickly I saw this wasn’t gonna work.

Day and night I sat behind my desk. How can I make money?

At the time I didn’t know shit.

All I was sure of is I couldn’t live like I was anymore.

I started reading everything I could find. Blog after blog.

Book after book. And of course my money kept going down.

I thought and I thought without any hustle included.

Until it hit me...
No blog or “special” info was gonna pay my bills.

So I started sending emails. Making calls. Mostly full of shit. But I didn’t care. I believed in myself.

3 weeks after quitting my job still nothing was clicking.

I had about 2-3 weeks of money left so something HAD TO CHANGE
And then one day as I was driving home from the store I got a call.

It was one of the companies I’d called earlier.

They offered my “company” a contract. I completely bsed them but I knew I’d do a damn good job. I signed 3 properties for $480 a week.

With my $$$ solved....
Now I had to figure out what I wanted from life.

- I didn’t like who I was
- I lacked purpose
- and was full of doubt

So in my free time I wrote. I worked out a lot. Would go 2 days without eating. And I cultivated my skills.

Around June I was unhappy again. I could do better
By this point I’d lost some weight. Didn’t need for money anymore.

And spent my time really digging into what I wanted out of life.

I was still lost.

But finding my way.

Then EVERYTHING CHANGED in November.
