Hey y'all 😀!
First of all, sorry for the clickbait title, I am currently practicing copy so this was sort of a test to see how well I can attract attention using some methods I've noticed online.
In case you were expecting a billionaire success story, nope, just a poor waiter here, wanting to introduce himself.
My name is Marko-Antonio, I'm a 22 years old Croatian currently living in Stuttgart, Germany. I moved here 5 months ago, after being extremely deppressed for the last couple of years due to being poor, and flunking college, amongst other things. (there was an alcoholic phase, a weed addiction phase and sex addiction phase. Fun times.)
So, I've been poor for a long time, but have always felt that it was my destiny to rise above that and be rich one day. So I nodded sagely, saying "Ah who cares, I'll be rich SOMEDAY." whilst doing ABSOLUTELY F*ckING NOTHING to actually make that sentence a reality. Needless to say, I was F*cking miserable, starving, and depending on the kindness of my friends to literally eat.
I got a few jobs here and there, mostly direct sales, none really worked as I got nervous around peope I didn't know, so I didn't stay long and never really earned much money. Then I started waiting tables, figured out I was good at it and it was pretty decent cash (tourists really do save your a$$ in my country) so I said F*ck it, here's something I can do while I study polytechnics.
I hated my college, it made me F*cking miserable. The way it was structured, and the way the professors treated the knowledge disgusted me, and one night I got a brilliant idea. I was going to go to Germany, where money is plentiful and beer flows through the rivers.
I left my friends, my girlfriend and my parents behind and got ready to take the biggest step in my life! This was going to be F*cking AMAZING!
It sucks.
I'm still waiting tables, only this time earning a bit more money, but expenses are higher so it evens out.
F*ck. Now what? Do this for 5 years, earn enough cash to open my own thing in Croatia? F*ck that, I hate it here, no way am I selling 5 years of my life for a chance to crash and burn...
So there I am, cleaning the goddamn menu's when this brilliant idea for a product hits me. I get excited, holy shit this could make me rich!
As soon as I'm done with work, I head home and write it down, I tell my best friend, ask her opinions. She is also pretty stoked about it.
F*ck yeah! It was/is a great idea, a niche market, a need presented, monetization secured. The thing is, it would be a social platform and I don't know ANYTHING about web design, about programming, about the economy, nothing.
Welp, there goes that.
"Would you like to supersize your order?" is my future apparently.
But something inside me doesn't budge this time. Something in me screams "Enough!" and tears me back into ambition.
I remember reading about this book called 'The Millionaire Fastlane ' by this MJ DeMarco guy on reddit. Ok, yeah, sounds great, get rich quick. Let's check it out.
I was always skeptical when I saw reviews saying stuff like 'This book has changed my life!'. I thought it was giving too much power to someone else.
But ho-lee shit. It opened my eyes, I pivoted my way of thinking towards a new perspective and it really. F*cking. Changed. My. Life.
Now, to be fair, that was like a month ago, so I can't say I'm any closer to my goal than yesterday money-wise. But, here are some of the things I've started since then;
1. A friend started a small start-up in my hometown, I immediately contacted him and asked him if he needed a head of marketing until he has enough money to pay for an actual proffessional.
2. Started a small network of young Croatian entrepreneurs to support and exchange knowledge and ideas with one another
3. Started learning copywriting
4. Started learning Javascript
5. Annoyed the F*ck out of my friends with my newly found passion and optimism.
6. Joined this forum.
Now I have a plan in place, and if asked will share it with you. But this post was just introductions, and has gone on longer than intended because I'm goddamn stoked to be a part of this forum.
