17 and I'll Retire The Day I'm Twice That

[Kujo.show]

Seems my first copy isn't too bad after all
Hey my name is John,
I'm just another 17-year old who wants to merge onto the fast lane. I don't have connections, an overflowing war chest, or even a driver's license but I'll hitchhike my way until I get there.

Not Exactly Starting from the Botton​

I haven't done much in my 17 years but now I have a YouTube network and ~$500 to my name. On top of this, I've been scouring self-improvement books, business books, business forums, and every piece of knowledge I can get my hands on.
Overall, I don't have much but if Walton can turn $25,000 into Wallmart, I sure as hell can turn $500 into a few thousand.​

In Term Goals
First things first, I have to get my license. ​

Besides reading books and adopting a money-making mentality, I've started learning some valuable skills( coding, AdWords, brand building, writing) through Udemy and will continue to learn. I plan to get my moneys worth out of each of these skills by building multiple "passive" income businesses. I'm setting a strong foundation so that I could build a beautiful tower in my 20's.

A lot to learn​

Reading is only going to serve me so much, I have to do. In the coming days, weeks, and months I hope to launch a dropshipping company, revitalize my YouTube network, and build a web-site creation business. It's going to be more than a challenge to keep all these plates spinning, but It'll give me capital and more importantly raw experience. ​

Small Kid, Big Dreams​

I've got a dream, and it has to become reality. I'll stake my ego, life, and future on it.

Other Stuff​

I'm set to attend a top 30 and if I'm lucky top 20 US university next year and I'm planning to major in business and finance. Would you recommend doing that?

I'll also be interning at a few places and I'd be thrilled if I could get some advice.

Lastly, I think it will be very important for me to learn sales and marketing. I heard that affiliate marketing or even a pyramid scheme would be a great way to learn. Should I try those things out or are there other opportunities?

With $400 let's see what I can do.

What advice do you have?
How do I learn to write copy?
Tips for running a business?
Any valuable skills I should Learn?

Thank you so much!
This forum will probably become the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.​
