Hello Guys,
I am Marcel, 24 years old, from Germany.
Firstly, many many thanks to everyone who takes the time to read my post, I know how valuable your time is but I will think hard about every advice and food for thought you give to me! So please see it as an oppotunity to do good.
Currently I am a Trainee for an soul draining office job that pays me about 600$ a month while working 40h/week. I dropped out of university 2 times studying informatics because of my dads wish for me to become an IT specialist that earns "good money" while being hardly interested in the stuff they taught me there.
My life is horrible and according to my relatives it is almost over for me to become wealthy. They say all I can do is to stay in the company I hate, work hard and try to climb up the corporate ladder.
But that doesn't matter. I don't believe the thoughts of the mass. I know I need to create value for others and have no problem to sacrifice all things that need to be sacrificed if that leads to my happieness.
I already read TMF and I am at 20% of Unscripted .
Also I read some other books lately, like
How to win friends
Cashvertising
Atomic Habits
4 Hour work week
Rich dad poor dad
7 Habits of highly effective people
etc.
and although they all contain valueable advice I think
My problem is that I DO THE WRONG THINGS, I try to get forward but the direction I set is wrong.
I tried to become a youtuber that gives advice for some months - fail
I tried video editing and wanted to get better so I can freelance to get out of my job until I realized that there is maybe not so much money to make in the near future even I practise a lot... how will that make me a millionaire - fail
I tried to become a streamer because I was a very good gamer in my youth (top 100 regionwide sometimes and I never made something out of it) until I noticed that this is probably the most stupid thing I've thought in the last months. Mega fail
I know a business must fit the CENTS formula and the things I tried were probably too selfish but I don't know anything better at the moment.
Is there any advise you could give me? Am I doing something fundamently wrong? What should I consider? Should I just keep going?
Thank you and have a good day!
