Don't be like me. This is 96wells and this is going to be my progress thread. I'll document my failure and successes, mainly in ecommerce and copywriting.
My goal currently is to get a job at a major copywriting house within 1-3 months. By then I should have already sold my first (unique) product on Amazon to see if the demand is there. Then I will go from there to refine my processes in line with CENTS Commandments.
I'll also document some past successes that have helped me today. This includes:
Now. I don’t want you to be like me. I want you to walk your own path and be you. I am also not an expert (take my journey/advice with a grain of salt). I know personally, I am not a super technical person so I’m never going to be an expert in wordpress coding or crypto or real estate etc. I’m not super passionate about them. But I’ll be doing (learning) things that complement the fields I am in even without passion, including using practical psychology, talking/socializing/negotiating, traveling to different countries, working in challenging environments, delegating and freeing up time, and hanging out in the right masterminds.
I have my own reasons for doing what I am doing now. If you're just starting out you have to try a few things. I hope this thread helps you understand some details about my main fields, e-commerce and copywriting.
For ecommerce, as I stand now, one product is already coming in. I am going to have to see if it would sell. I already see a problem that has to do with lack of control that I will try to solve. In the past I sold a little bit (arbitrage) to get familiar with the system; I think I MIGHT break even on those. This is a long-term project that will ultimately be my cash cow.
For copywriting I am in a financial copywriting group. The instructor is working the publishing house where I want to work. So my main focus is to do whatever he tells me to do for several months. The main goal is to get the job so I can train my skills there for several years. Then I'll use this skill (and cash reserves) to leverage my e-commerce.
My main goal is at least 10 million in 10 years, but I will try to do it in fewer years. Again, I have my own reasons, namely, I want to make sure my friends and family are secure, I want to travel a bit, and I want to take classes in fields that don't pay well... etc.
I will see you guys in the next episode when I have the results. Maybe around a few months later.
P.S. I did edit this main post a few times. The following posts you will see a lot of feedback on my scammy initial post. I apologize beforehand and I wish you the best.

I'll also document some past successes that have helped me today. This includes:
- How to have mental clarity by learning how to distinguish between psychological and physical hunger. Similar note, how to maintain/lose weight so you are healthy. This is so you can operate at peak level in your own business.
- How NOT to do weight training so you don't injure yourself. Similarly, how to structure your time around your work to get a workout. It’s important to have health so you’re not distracted by pains.
- Past tricks that I still use to help me stay on task and not be distracted by temptations that have long-term consequences. Things like hanging out with the wrong crowd or being tempted by people that don’t have your best interest.
- I’ll show you some other side projects I’m working on that may help my two main fields (copywriting and ecommerces)
