Hello there, my name is David (21) and i did read The Millionaire Fastlane . I started my jurney to success 1,5 years ago as an artist. Im from Czech Republic, so i apologize for my english, as its my second language. No school for art or any other special college. Just another dude from streets trying to go big from nothing.
I noticed, that i have talent for oil painting and i did ask myself a question "how could i sell that to make millions?". First year of my career i was just learning how to make best possible product possible, so i outcompete other artists to stand out as a "young talent". I also noticed, that almost everyone hates modern art, that is being sold for milions. I saw opportunity to fix that problem in modern art industry (learned that from TMF ). I did learn technique, that everyone loves. I have positive feedback from people i know even i dont know. I do sell for good money, but demand isnt high enough to pay the bills. I did some propagation on social media and i was scouted by a company doing online auctions.
The contract is only like 3 months old, so im still working and trying to sell for better money.
Some would say, that this is already a big achievement for 21yo to be independent and have a bussines partner with big company here in Czechia. I still struggle tho, because i just started selling 6 months ago, so i dont have big portfolio of clients.
I know, that just selling my art is not going to make me enough to live a dream life, because its still linked to my time and there is only so many paintings i can make in a month.
Through networking, being good to people, having good art i managed to land a meeting with a real life multimilionaire (maybe billionaire in dolars). For demonstration he is CEO of his own massive real estate company that manages 500M euro building and many more. He loves art, so i had massive luck getting to this person.
In short he wants to help me to push my career to higher mountains.
I was offered to link his name and of his company with mine. Then also make exhibition in private offices, where important people meet. Pretty much offer for 10k dolars if i sell every piece of art at that exhibition.
People would say, that this is massive milestone in artists career. And yes i agree, with all these positives its hard to deny that.
I do have a plan to make my self rich.
First step is to get famous. With all that positive feedback from people i believe im on a good path to that.
Second step is to make scalable bussines around that fame, because i can make only few paintings in a month and that is glued to my time.
Fame brings attention from people and attention can be sold. If i get enough eyes on me and i make my brand of pencils,pens, paints, brushes etc... to sell to kids at elementary school or to office workers,then that can make a BANK.With that attention i can sell these cheap products on big scale. If i manage to sell 100 000 of small goods of my brand with 1 dolar of profit, then it would make me 100k a month.
Considering fact, that these supplies need to be bought every time,because they run out of paint or pens get lost et.. , unlike painting that lasts for hunderts of years. With fame from first step i would be able to bring traffic to my products.
With all this information, help of my family and positive feedback from others, contract with company to sell my art and contact to real life multimilionaire wanting to help me to get rich, i still do have fear of failing. This is my best plan and only plan suiting for my situation to build massive empire.
My fear is that some parts of this plan wont work. For example getting famous. That sounds like plan based on luck, even tho i have systems in place to make it happend like having best possible quality of product and already positive feedback from market. Best quality of materials used or having very rich person behind my back wanting me to help. Yes i know i might sound like idiot with all these advantages and still have fear, but i have to remind you that im 21 years old and have 0 experience of building something of this scale. If this wont work, then i have no idea how to start fresh with diffrent way of building empire.
I will do anything in my power to make it work, so my family doesnt have to work ever again and so my parents can be proud of me.
What do you think of my situation, am i on right track to wealth or im a being delusional about something ?
Am i being afraid for absolutely no reason with all these advantages ?
Is it likely to get wealthy in 5 years with all of this information to live rich young life?
Thank you so much for your time reading my life story and future plans.
Please, any constructive feedback to fastlane is appreciated.
Also thank you M. J. DeMarco for you eye oppening book. i did read over 30 books about building wealth and i would say, that The Millionaire Fastlane was best of them.
Have a nice rich day.
David
