I don't want to have a 9-5 and might kms if I am not rich by 25. Try read all if possible

jett. · Dec 12, 2025

Last two paragraphs is my main points or so but the rest adds a lot of context basically my life story summarised (try read most of it as it makes more sense that way and i legit poured everything into this)

A little bit of my sport background and why I don't have a passion for any 9-5

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that. Because of that I damn near dropped sports completely also, for some reason (my fault too ofc) My parents just let me forget about sports aswell kinda completely, they were pushing it a little but i was too into video games. I guess it helped that I broke my leg in 2018 from an injury however I recovered in literally less then a year and after that in like 2021/2 I slowly got back into football but I was way too behind everyone else as I missed the core years but its ok because I discovered I had Osgood Schlatter which is just a bone deformation in your knee which limits your physical activity which I still have till this day so I guess football was just not meant for me. Because of my injury i could barely play a full 90 atleast with pain and legit just practiced skills and stuff as i found them fun which makes sense from my inspirations like neymar. But as of now I have completely stopped playing football basically mainly small recreational with friends and basketball.

Since my GCSE's I have been cooked academically as I have never had an academic passion like engineering or some bs. I am currently studying sport and exercise science just made most sense as I have a sport background (I mainly went uni to live by myself have my own room and space) which is kind of dumb but parents wanted me to go uni anyways.

First taste of money
When I was 16 I had my first taste of entrepreneurship which was selling fake air pods which went decent bu5t stopped after i got into a fight with some guy i was selling them to and meeting up irl i won tho as i had a growth spurt early and sport background and he was a grown man but a manlet. A week after i turned 17 I got my first part time job which was retail and I did along side school. It helped me buy nice clothes and useless designer bs which kinda helped me statusmaxx ig but not for long as now everyone has designer. At the start of 2024 I was introduced to forex and a forex group where i got signals from which i now know is bs dw but back then it sounded good and me with a part time job and a lil money fell for it. Was not all bad but obviously did not work out in the end. Will get back to trading later. And also because of my low morality I had started to do 'fraud' which I wont go into too much if you dk just search up social engineering and yh. This had started a little in late year 13 or basically 2024 as some of my friends I went school with did similar things especially in uni and it was just very exposed to me and easy to do and felt like the normal thing to do with the influences around me. did this like properly from June 2024 till like the rest of 2024 till like December ish even into uni so not that long tbf. the money I made from it was ok and fed my money hungry appetite or at least at that age. Something happened which made me realise what i was doing was not good. so I stopped it even anything slightly related to it spent the rest of my money that I made from it on bs which was ok as its not good money and got closer to God. What happened that made me stop was nothing that serious tbf just enough to wake me up. God is always watching inni.

The downfall of the downfall
Then in my first year of uni I wasn't as clear sighted as i am now with bad influences which are easier to ignore today my so called 'friends' who are extremely locked out till tday and i was just going through the days just partying, drugs and slaying literally not knowing where i wake up in the morning sometimes because i was too hungover a random girls room, as i have decent appeal especially for my phenotype as I am mixed and tall and etc. This did not help as it made it easier for me to pull and it legit only thing i focused on. And my drinking was quite bad because due to my slight nd i could literally only talk top girls drunk. Its better now tho but not as good as I want but not my priority as personality is cope anyways. Literally my whole class even today are just nerds who legit act like they are in a simulation and did not have much similar interests really wish there was someone similar to me to lock in with gym/money wise but there's not and it doesn't help i go to a uni in a different city. So I skipped most my classes which i still do but at least now i kind of take my assignments seriously. That whole thing that from that 'fraud era' opened my eyes a lil and it took me like 3 months to open my eyes completely.

I realised I am alive and need to sort my shi out
Around 2025 march/april i think something clicked in my brain and realised as corny as it sounds i need to escape the matrix. I even started going gym inconsistently as i never had the urge to go because my genetics give me a decent build anyways but something switch. Till about 2 months ago tho i started consistently going 4 days and tracking diet and stuff and dont c myself stopping. but one day on yt i saw brez scales and was inspired by what he had, his story and how he got there so ofc i tried the same business model which is freelance brand scaling. No i did not succeed. I legit done everything by the book had an ig with like 1k followers i used to reach out too after turning it from my old fort acc to a business one specific to brand scaling, and was not able to get a serious or willing to pay client after like 3 months of consistently reaching out networking in the community and yes i offered free trial periods and what not. i guess it helps to have friends in that community already or that have a good online brand and yes i tried reaching out to legit every type of company through ig Facebook shi even etsy. One day I just thought this shi is not going to work out let me stop wasting my time and try build a skill over time. So since i somewhat like numbers a lil and liked the fact that its just you vs you basically and didn't need to deal with annoying clients as i am a little nd i started learning to trade without the signals bs ofc. As everyone else I opened up my laptop and played episode one of tjrs bootcamp.

The second lock in on something better
through the summer i basically had a full time job sometimes working 6 days a week just to save for second year as i know i could not guarantee a job where i want uni as it is very completive as it is basically a uni city with lots of students and i wanted to work on myself or a business or hustle without worrying about money. but by the end of summer 2025 i finished the bootcamp done some further research/learning looking into ict concepts that were not covered like an smt and what not. I was paper trading lowkey the whole time doing this and in like august till october i was profitable so ofc i bought an apex funded as it was cheap and tbh i did not expect to pass. i failed after getting to like 5% got over confident as the goal was like 6% or sum and just blew the account in like less then a week but it taught me alot. I havent bought a funded since then but went back on paper and i am profitable in november as I was up about 8%. I risked less and targeted less but i am much more consistent. In December I have not traded at all only peaked at charts sometimes just quickly visualising how i would've dealt with pa. but i have not traded this month due to exams. Avoiding trading because of exams made me realise that because life moves so fast i am not sure if i will even have time to become a profitable trader because ofc after my third year i am expected to get a job straight away.

The dilemma and potential solutions
But I don't want trading to be my only escape from a 9-5 which is not a good thing to count on especially due to the statistics but something that makes more sense to do while trading just in case it doesn't work makes sense for me to do. and I mean starting a business providing service or product as I have a little business xp when running a small hustle or business or at least setting it up and these days ai makes it very easy its just making that business work which is the difficult part. And I don't rly know anything else to get rich from online except for content. I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out. Also another money motivation for me is need some fucking surplus of money to fund my peptides and eat steak everyday and shi as i will prolly start using them early or mid next year even tho my build is alright ig but you can always be better body wise and face wise ofc.

Best and worse case scenario for me
Tbh best case for me is to get rich through internet money preferably trading but ik its not a get rich quick scheme and needs consistency over years before you can even considered calling yourself rich, but internet money is my preferable way of becoming successful like an online business content or legit anything but thats morally correct as i have been tryna get closer to God recently too. But yh build at least 5 maybe 10k/m before i finish uni or at some point in 2026 so i can fucking dropout and lock in with my goals move into a calm apartment and grind move out the uk to America network with business owners content creators and shi move into a penthouse drive a nice car and yh, so i can fucking drop out of uni it genuinely fries my brain and feels like im being programmed to just be a sheep and join the rat race.
Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

But yh build at least 5 maybe 10k/m before i finish uni or at some point in 2026 so i can fucking dropout and lock in with my goals move into a calm apartment and grind move out the uk to America network with business owners content creators and shi move into a penthouse drive a nice car and yh, so i can fucking drop out of uni it genuinely fries my brain and feels like im being programmed to just be a sheep and join the rat race.
Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

Yo, I read what you said a bit too quickly, and honestly, I went through a way worse situation than you, with the exact same mindset. Also, you’re pretty lucky you came across me. You better take me seriously, because you won’t find someone else like me. Listen.

I always had something inside me. I knew the 9–5 was fkg bullshit, and that I’d end up famous or something like that, but it was vague. Then I thought about becoming a pilot, failed the exams, and had to go to a normal high school.

At the beginning of the school year, my cousin didn’t have school, so he was looking for a job. A guy from his school was looking for someone to help with his business. We decided to work for him in September. We learned a lot. It was a screen-printing / T-shirt business. We worked so hard that he even proposed we start our own business using his machines, but he’d keep 50% of the profit.

We grinded like crazy and made around 15k in one month (from right after Black Friday to January 1st — yes, we missed Black Friday XD). Then we decided to split and change paths. Things weren’t going our way, but we didn’t give up. We got hit with chargebacks, lost money, literally lost everything.

Then we tried another brand, this time with embroidery. We bought a machine with credit cards, worked hard, and grinded designs. We sold some, but it was extremely slow (lesson learned). We sold the machine, tried TikTok videos, tried reselling… until April.

Then, by the will of God, an idea came to me. We found something to sell that had never been done. The next day, we started prototyping, but it was slow and difficult because we were completely broke.

Summer came. We both found small jobs, not even 8 hours a week. We saved a bit of money while trying to pay our credit cards because of orders we were placing for our product. It was extremely difficult: waking up at 5am, going to the library to edit, trying videos for hours, then going to work and sleeping.

Then our parents kicked us out after an argument, so we had to find a tiny office (150 ft²). By the way, I was 18. Eventually, in August, we found full-time jobs and could pay rent. But guess what? One week after signing, they dropped our hours to around 4 hours per week each. We were cooked.

We were extremely stressed: no money, no house, no food, nothing. I was literally ready to scam people just to get money — but I didn’t. I knew we had to keep looking for a solution.

Again, by God’s will, I found a job as a cleaner in a drug factory, and my cousin found a job in a restaurant 15km away from where we were sleeping. He biked there every day at 6am.

We started making some money. We worked non-stop to make better and better videos, built our website, and launched. No sales at first. Then one video popped off, we got sales, used it as an ad, and got more sales. Every dollar went back into paying credit cards. You have no idea how smart we played with credit.

At some point, we couldn’t even work on the business because of exhaustion from our jobs. Then the same mentor we’d known from a year earlier learned about our business and decided to invest 5k for 10%. We quit our jobs instantly and went all in.

HOURS. HOURS. HOURS. Non-stop work. Every day. Videos, speed, faster, more, more, more. We were moving.

But we made a 7k order with our supplier before even receiving the 5k. We were about to hit rock bottom… until ONE ad. One. One ad popped off. Millions of views.

That’s when we got it.

We learned how to make good videos and good ads. From there, we got sales, reinvested, bought stock, sold more. WE ARE GRINDERS. I’m not bragging — you need to understand this.

ONE FULL YEAR of literal suffering just to finally make money. We learned. We took action. We never touched alcohol. Never went to clubs or parties. I’m 18, my cousin is 19. No one will ever stop us. We will outwork everyone — even our mentor.

I’m not here to flex, I’m here to tell you the truth. This is what it takes. Some have it easy. Some have to suffer and learn the hard way. This journey took me so far in life, you can’t even imagine.

I dropped school. I’m 18 and I don’t even think about it. Business is mental. Once you learn, once you gain knowledge, you will succeed.

But understand the difference between us and you.

You are supposed to be MAD. EXTREMELY MAD. You’re supposed to go insane seeing people succeed more than you. Look at me. I was exactly where you are — watching people with money while grinding nonstop.

Now I’ll give you advice, because I’m that guy.

SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED.
Do you understand? SPEED. If you want something, you do it NOW. Don’t wait. Waiting is for bitches.
Focus on MONEY IN. Every thought, every action must lead to money in. No side-quest bullshit. No distractions.
The model that worked for me is ecommerce. Sell online. Shopify store. GemPages for your site. Link two worlds: if you like MMA and T-shirts, boom, business. Anything sellable, try it. Make sure production is fast. Learn from YouTube — but don’t overlearn. Start doing.
Try. You’re not a bitch. Try, fail, try again. It will work.
Obsess over your idea. Use your brain. God gave it to you — use it. Think fast. SPEED.
Caffeine. Coffee. Lock in. The world is being divided into rich and poor. There’s no time to waste.
Social media is key. Bad videos = failure. Videos must be FAST, many cuts, high energy. TikTok decides. No views = bad video. First 3 seconds matter. Use trending sounds.
Manifest it.
Believe in God. One true God. Take it or leave it — this is my truth.
Don’t even think about school. I know you’re in uni, but you’re digging a deep hole. Stay there and you’re cooked. I’m not joking. Finishing just because you started is a trap.
SPEED again. Stop procrastinating. Your life is in your hands RIGHT NOW. You will fail — but if you’re fast, you’ll learn fast and win.
Spam videos. Film more. Try more. Learn more. SPEED.
Hope. You must KNOW you’ll make it. I know I will. I will become extremely famous. Maybe you’ll hear about me. But you must believe. Cut distractions. No parties. No alcohol. Be 1000% certain.

We are not the same. Behind the screen, there are two guys working harder than you, planning more, doing more. I’ll make sure of it. But you still have a chance.

This mindset is rare. It’s on you to take it. Be relentless. Society will try to distract you — trust me.

By the way:
2.9k today.
20k this week.
83k this month.
104k in the last 40 days. pics is proof, trust me if you want

I was flat broke in September.

Be mad. Look at your life. Change it. I did — and you can too.

This is my story. The full truth. Believe it or don’t — I know I’ll make it.

Good luck

TY FOR KNOWLEDGE

Last two paragraphs is my main points or so but the rest adds a lot of context basically my life story summarised (try read most of it as it makes more sense that way and i legit poured everything into this)

A little bit of my sport background and why I don't have a passion for any 9-5

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that. Because of that I damn near dropped sports completely also, for some reason (my fault too ofc) My parents just let me forget about sports aswell kinda completely, they were pushing it a little but i was too into video games. I guess it helped that I broke my leg in 2018 from an injury however I recovered in literally less then a year and after that in like 2021/2 I slowly got back into football but I was way too behind everyone else as I missed the core years but its ok because I discovered I had Osgood Schlatter which is just a bone deformation in your knee which limits your physical activity which I still have till this day so I guess football was just not meant for me. Because of my injury i could barely play a full 90 atleast with pain and legit just practiced skills and stuff as i found them fun which makes sense from my inspirations like neymar. But as of now I have completely stopped playing football basically mainly small recreational with friends and basketball.

Since my GCSE's I have been cooked academically as I have never had an academic passion like engineering or some bs. I am currently studying sport and exercise science just made most sense as I have a sport background (I mainly went uni to live by myself have my own room and space) which is kind of dumb but parents wanted me to go uni anyways.

First taste of money
When I was 16 I had my first taste of entrepreneurship which was selling fake air pods which went decent bu5t stopped after i got into a fight with some guy i was selling them to and meeting up irl i won tho as i had a growth spurt early and sport background and he was a grown man but a manlet. A week after i turned 17 I got my first part time job which was retail and I did along side school. It helped me buy nice clothes and useless designer bs which kinda helped me statusmaxx ig but not for long as now everyone has designer. At the start of 2024 I was introduced to forex and a forex group where i got signals from which i now know is bs dw but back then it sounded good and me with a part time job and a lil money fell for it. Was not all bad but obviously did not work out in the end. Will get back to trading later. And also because of my low morality I had started to do 'fraud' which I wont go into too much if you dk just search up social engineering and yh. This had started a little in late year 13 or basically 2024 as some of my friends I went school with did similar things especially in uni and it was just very exposed to me and easy to do and felt like the normal thing to do with the influences around me. did this like properly from June 2024 till like the rest of 2024 till like December ish even into uni so not that long tbf. the money I made from it was ok and fed my money hungry appetite or at least at that age. Something happened which made me realise what i was doing was not good. so I stopped it even anything slightly related to it spent the rest of my money that I made from it on bs which was ok as its not good money and got closer to God. What happened that made me stop was nothing that serious tbf just enough to wake me up. God is always watching inni.

The downfall of the downfall
Then in my first year of uni I wasn't as clear sighted as i am now with bad influences which are easier to ignore today my so called 'friends' who are extremely locked out till tday and i was just going through the days just partying, drugs and slaying literally not knowing where i wake up in the morning sometimes because i was too hungover a random girls room, as i have decent appeal especially for my phenotype as I am mixed and tall and etc. This did not help as it made it easier for me to pull and it legit only thing i focused on. And my drinking was quite bad because due to my slight nd i could literally only talk top girls drunk. Its better now tho but not as good as I want but not my priority as personality is cope anyways. Literally my whole class even today are just nerds who legit act like they are in a simulation and did not have much similar interests really wish there was someone similar to me to lock in with gym/money wise but there's not and it doesn't help i go to a uni in a different city. So I skipped most my classes which i still do but at least now i kind of take my assignments seriously. That whole thing that from that 'fraud era' opened my eyes a lil and it took me like 3 months to open my eyes completely.

I realised I am alive and need to sort my shi out
Around 2025 march/april i think something clicked in my brain and realised as corny as it sounds i need to escape the matrix. I even started going gym inconsistently as i never had the urge to go because my genetics give me a decent build anyways but something switch. Till about 2 months ago tho i started consistently going 4 days and tracking diet and stuff and dont c myself stopping. but one day on yt i saw brez scales and was inspired by what he had, his story and how he got there so ofc i tried the same business model which is freelance brand scaling. No i did not succeed. I legit done everything by the book had an ig with like 1k followers i used to reach out too after turning it from my old fort acc to a business one specific to brand scaling, and was not able to get a serious or willing to pay client after like 3 months of consistently reaching out networking in the community and yes i offered free trial periods and what not. i guess it helps to have friends in that community already or that have a good online brand and yes i tried reaching out to legit every type of company through ig Facebook shi even etsy. One day I just thought this shi is not going to work out let me stop wasting my time and try build a skill over time. So since i somewhat like numbers a lil and liked the fact that its just you vs you basically and didn't need to deal with annoying clients as i am a little nd i started learning to trade without the signals bs ofc. As everyone else I opened up my laptop and played episode one of tjrs bootcamp.

The second lock in on something better
through the summer i basically had a full time job sometimes working 6 days a week just to save for second year as i know i could not guarantee a job where i want uni as it is very completive as it is basically a uni city with lots of students and i wanted to work on myself or a business or hustle without worrying about money. but by the end of summer 2025 i finished the bootcamp done some further research/learning looking into ict concepts that were not covered like an smt and what not. I was paper trading lowkey the whole time doing this and in like august till october i was profitable so ofc i bought an apex funded as it was cheap and tbh i did not expect to pass. i failed after getting to like 5% got over confident as the goal was like 6% or sum and just blew the account in like less then a week but it taught me alot. I havent bought a funded since then but went back on paper and i am profitable in november as I was up about 8%. I risked less and targeted less but i am much more consistent. In December I have not traded at all only peaked at charts sometimes just quickly visualising how i would've dealt with pa. but i have not traded this month due to exams. Avoiding trading because of exams made me realise that because life moves so fast i am not sure if i will even have time to become a profitable trader because ofc after my third year i am expected to get a job straight away.

The dilemma and potential solutions
But I don't want trading to be my only escape from a 9-5 which is not a good thing to count on especially due to the statistics but something that makes more sense to do while trading just in case it doesn't work makes sense for me to do. and I mean starting a business providing service or product as I have a little business xp when running a small hustle or business or at least setting it up and these days ai makes it very easy its just making that business work which is the difficult part. And I don't rly know anything else to get rich from online except for content. I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out. Also another money motivation for me is need some fucking surplus of money to fund my peptides and eat steak everyday and shi as i will prolly start using them early or mid next year even tho my build is alright ig but you can always be better body wise and face wise ofc.

Best and worse case scenario for me
Tbh best case for me is to get rich through internet money preferably trading but ik its not a get rich quick scheme and needs consistency over years before you can even considered calling yourself rich, but internet money is my preferable way of becoming successful like an online business content or legit anything but thats morally correct as i have been tryna get closer to God recently too.

Last two paragraphs is my main points or so but the rest adds a lot of context basically my life story summarised (try read most of it as it makes more sense that way and i legit poured everything into this)

A little bit of my sport background and why I don't have a passion for any 9-5

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that. Because of that I damn near dropped sports completely also, for some reason (my fault too ofc) My parents just let me forget about sports aswell kinda completely, they were pushing it a little but i was too into video games. I guess it helped that I broke my leg in 2018 from an injury however I recovered in literally less then a year and after that in like 2021/2 I slowly got back into football but I was way too behind everyone else as I missed the core years but its ok because I discovered I had Osgood Schlatter which is just a bone deformation in your knee which limits your physical activity which I still have till this day so I guess football was just not meant for me. Because of my injury i could barely play a full 90 atleast with pain and legit just practiced skills and stuff as i found them fun which makes sense from my inspirations like neymar. But as of now I have completely stopped playing football basically mainly small recreational with friends and basketball.

Since my GCSE's I have been cooked academically as I have never had an academic passion like engineering or some bs. I am currently studying sport and exercise science just made most sense as I have a sport background (I mainly went uni to live by myself have my own room and space) which is kind of dumb but parents wanted me to go uni anyways.

First taste of money
When I was 16 I had my first taste of entrepreneurship which was selling fake air pods which went decent bu5t stopped after i got into a fight with some guy i was selling them to and meeting up irl i won tho as i had a growth spurt early and sport background and he was a grown man but a manlet. A week after i turned 17 I got my first part time job which was retail and I did along side school. It helped me buy nice clothes and useless designer bs which kinda helped me statusmaxx ig but not for long as now everyone has designer. At the start of 2024 I was introduced to forex and a forex group where i got signals from which i now know is bs dw but back then it sounded good and me with a part time job and a lil money fell for it. Was not all bad but obviously did not work out in the end. Will get back to trading later. And also because of my low morality I had started to do 'fraud' which I wont go into too much if you dk just search up social engineering and yh. This had started a little in late year 13 or basically 2024 as some of my friends I went school with did similar things especially in uni and it was just very exposed to me and easy to do and felt like the normal thing to do with the influences around me. did this like properly from June 2024 till like the rest of 2024 till like December ish even into uni so not that long tbf. the money I made from it was ok and fed my money hungry appetite or at least at that age. Something happened which made me realise what i was doing was not good. so I stopped it even anything slightly related to it spent the rest of my money that I made from it on bs which was ok as its not good money and got closer to God. What happened that made me stop was nothing that serious tbf just enough to wake me up. God is always watching inni.

The downfall of the downfall
Then in my first year of uni I wasn't as clear sighted as i am now with bad influences which are easier to ignore today my so called 'friends' who are extremely locked out till tday and i was just going through the days just partying, drugs and slaying literally not knowing where i wake up in the morning sometimes because i was too hungover a random girls room, as i have decent appeal especially for my phenotype as I am mixed and tall and etc. This did not help as it made it easier for me to pull and it legit only thing i focused on. And my drinking was quite bad because due to my slight nd i could literally only talk top girls drunk. Its better now tho but not as good as I want but not my priority as personality is cope anyways. Literally my whole class even today are just nerds who legit act like they are in a simulation and did not have much similar interests really wish there was someone similar to me to lock in with gym/money wise but there's not and it doesn't help i go to a uni in a different city. So I skipped most my classes which i still do but at least now i kind of take my assignments seriously. That whole thing that from that 'fraud era' opened my eyes a lil and it took me like 3 months to open my eyes completely.

I realised I am alive and need to sort my shi out
Around 2025 march/april i think something clicked in my brain and realised as corny as it sounds i need to escape the matrix. I even started going gym inconsistently as i never had the urge to go because my genetics give me a decent build anyways but something switch. Till about 2 months ago tho i started consistently going 4 days and tracking diet and stuff and dont c myself stopping. but one day on yt i saw brez scales and was inspired by what he had, his story and how he got there so ofc i tried the same business model which is freelance brand scaling. No i did not succeed. I legit done everything by the book had an ig with like 1k followers i used to reach out too after turning it from my old fort acc to a business one specific to brand scaling, and was not able to get a serious or willing to pay client after like 3 months of consistently reaching out networking in the community and yes i offered free trial periods and what not. i guess it helps to have friends in that community already or that have a good online brand and yes i tried reaching out to legit every type of company through ig Facebook shi even etsy. One day I just thought this shi is not going to work out let me stop wasting my time and try build a skill over time. So since i somewhat like numbers a lil and liked the fact that its just you vs you basically and didn't need to deal with annoying clients as i am a little nd i started learning to trade without the signals bs ofc. As everyone else I opened up my laptop and played episode one of tjrs bootcamp.

The second lock in on something better
through the summer i basically had a full time job sometimes working 6 days a week just to save for second year as i know i could not guarantee a job where i want uni as it is very completive as it is basically a uni city with lots of students and i wanted to work on myself or a business or hustle without worrying about money. but by the end of summer 2025 i finished the bootcamp done some further research/learning looking into ict concepts that were not covered like an smt and what not. I was paper trading lowkey the whole time doing this and in like august till october i was profitable so ofc i bought an apex funded as it was cheap and tbh i did not expect to pass. i failed after getting to like 5% got over confident as the goal was like 6% or sum and just blew the account in like less then a week but it taught me alot. I havent bought a funded since then but went back on paper and i am profitable in november as I was up about 8%. I risked less and targeted less but i am much more consistent. In December I have not traded at all only peaked at charts sometimes just quickly visualising how i would've dealt with pa. but i have not traded this month due to exams. Avoiding trading because of exams made me realise that because life moves so fast i am not sure if i will even have time to become a profitable trader because ofc after my third year i am expected to get a job straight away.

The dilemma and potential solutions
But I don't want trading to be my only escape from a 9-5 which is not a good thing to count on especially due to the statistics but something that makes more sense to do while trading just in case it doesn't work makes sense for me to do. and I mean starting a business providing service or product as I have a little business xp when running a small hustle or business or at least setting it up and these days ai makes it very easy its just making that business work which is the difficult part. And I don't rly know anything else to get rich from online except for content. I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out. Also another money motivation for me is need some fucking surplus of money to fund my peptides and eat steak everyday and shi as i will prolly start using them early or mid next year even tho my build is alright ig but you can always be better body wise and face wise ofc.

Best and worse case scenario for me
Tbh best case for me is to get rich through internet money preferably trading but ik its not a get rich quick scheme and needs consistency over years before you can even considered calling yourself rich, but internet money is my preferable way of becoming successful like an online business content or legit anything but thats morally correct as i have been tryna get closer to God recently too. But yh build at least 5 maybe 10k/m before i finish uni or at some point in 2026 so i can fucking dropout and lock in with my goals move into a calm apartment and grind move out the uk to America network with business owners content creators and shi move into a penthouse drive a nice car and yh, so i can fucking drop out of uni it genuinely fries my brain and feels like im being programmed to just be a sheep and join the rat race.
Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

listen pal, i get where youre coming from as we come from similar backgrounds, but dont fall for all this andrew tate 'must be rich to enjoy life' bullshit you get spoonfed on tiktok. ofcourse try your best and genuinely do this trading shit as well as you can, but the end goal and what will genuinely make you happy in life is having your own happy family, wife and kids. being rich is nice, but its not what its hyped up to be. even if trading doesnt work, if you play your cards right you can still have a very good 9-5 job that will allow you to have nice things whilst also being able to support your family. theres no point to end it when for not much effort you can still have a beautiful life if youre not a lazy prick like 99% of people are, especially people in the uk. you see that the average guy only cares about going to the pub after work and watching football. you should never give up on life as remember we only get 1 chance, afterlife is not guaranteed (not to slate your religious beliefs), and you will never ever get a 2nd chance at life (not to mention ending it would go against your religious beliefs), so better make the most out of a shitty situation (which you are not even in)

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that.

I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out. Also another money motivation for me is need some fucking surplus of money to fund my peptides and eat steak everyday and shi as i will prolly start using them early or mid next year even tho my build is alright ig but you can always be better body wise and face wise ofc.

Best and worse case scenario for me
Tbh best case for me is to get rich through internet money preferably trading but ik its not a get rich quick scheme and needs consistency over years before you can even considered calling yourself rich, but internet money is my preferable way of becoming successful like an online business content or legit anything but thats morally correct as i have been tryna get closer to God recently too. But yh build at least 5 maybe 10k/m before i finish uni or at some point in 2026 so i can fucking dropout and lock in with my goals move into a calm apartment and grind move out the uk to America network with business owners content creators and shi move into a penthouse drive a nice car and yh, so i can fucking drop out of uni it genuinely fries my brain and feels like im being programmed to just be a sheep and join the rat race.
Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

I can’t read all of that rn but I’m just saying, killing yourself at 25 is kinda retarded there are multiple ways to get money but yes legally getting alot of money is hard

Yo, I read what you said a bit too quickly, and honestly, I went through a way worse situation than you, with the exact same mindset. Also, you’re pretty lucky you came across me. You better take me seriously, because you won’t find someone else like me. Listen.

I always had something inside me. I knew the 9–5 was fkg bullshit, and that I’d end up famous or something like that, but it was vague. Then I thought about becoming a pilot, failed the exams, and had to go to a normal high school.

At the beginning of the school year, my cousin didn’t have school, so he was looking for a job. A guy from his school was looking for someone to help with his business. We decided to work for him in September. We learned a lot. It was a screen-printing / T-shirt business. We worked so hard that he even proposed we start our own business using his machines, but he’d keep 50% of the profit.

We grinded like crazy and made around 15k in one month (from right after Black Friday to January 1st — yes, we missed Black Friday XD). Then we decided to split and change paths. Things weren’t going our way, but we didn’t give up. We got hit with chargebacks, lost money, literally lost everything.

Then we tried another brand, this time with embroidery. We bought a machine with credit cards, worked hard, and grinded designs. We sold some, but it was extremely slow (lesson learned). We sold the machine, tried TikTok videos, tried reselling… until April.

Then, by the will of God, an idea came to me. We found something to sell that had never been done. The next day, we started prototyping, but it was slow and difficult because we were completely broke.

Summer came. We both found small jobs, not even 8 hours a week. We saved a bit of money while trying to pay our credit cards because of orders we were placing for our product. It was extremely difficult: waking up at 5am, going to the library to edit, trying videos for hours, then going to work and sleeping.

Then our parents kicked us out after an argument, so we had to find a tiny office (150 ft²). By the way, I was 18. Eventually, in August, we found full-time jobs and could pay rent. But guess what? One week after signing, they dropped our hours to around 4 hours per week each. We were cooked.

We were extremely stressed: no money, no house, no food, nothing. I was literally ready to scam people just to get money — but I didn’t. I knew we had to keep looking for a solution.

Again, by God’s will, I found a job as a cleaner in a drug factory, and my cousin found a job in a restaurant 15km away from where we were sleeping. He biked there every day at 6am.

We started making some money. We worked non-stop to make better and better videos, built our website, and launched. No sales at first. Then one video popped off, we got sales, used it as an ad, and got more sales. Every dollar went back into paying credit cards. You have no idea how smart we played with credit.

At some point, we couldn’t even work on the business because of exhaustion from our jobs. Then the same mentor we’d known from a year earlier learned about our business and decided to invest 5k for 10%. We quit our jobs instantly and went all in.

HOURS. HOURS. HOURS. Non-stop work. Every day. Videos, speed, faster, more, more, more. We were moving.

But we made a 7k order with our supplier before even receiving the 5k. We were about to hit rock bottom… until ONE ad. One. One ad popped off. Millions of views.

That’s when we got it.

We learned how to make good videos and good ads. From there, we got sales, reinvested, bought stock, sold more. WE ARE GRINDERS. I’m not bragging — you need to understand this.

ONE FULL YEAR of literal suffering just to finally make money. We learned. We took action. We never touched alcohol. Never went to clubs or parties. I’m 18, my cousin is 19. No one will ever stop us. We will outwork everyone — even our mentor.

I’m not here to flex, I’m here to tell you the truth. This is what it takes. Some have it easy. Some have to suffer and learn the hard way. This journey took me so far in life, you can’t even imagine.

I dropped school. I’m 18 and I don’t even think about it. Business is mental. Once you learn, once you gain knowledge, you will succeed.

But understand the difference between us and you.

You are supposed to be MAD. EXTREMELY MAD. You’re supposed to go insane seeing people succeed more than you. Look at me. I was exactly where you are — watching people with money while grinding nonstop.

Now I’ll give you advice, because I’m that guy.

SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED.
Do you understand? SPEED. If you want something, you do it NOW. Don’t wait. Waiting is for bitches.

Focus on MONEY IN. Every thought, every action must lead to money in. No side-quest bullshit. No distractions.

The model that worked for me is ecommerce. Sell online. Shopify store. GemPages for your site. Link two worlds: if you like MMA and T-shirts, boom, business. Anything sellable, try it. Make sure production is fast. Learn from YouTube — but don’t overlearn. Start doing.

Try. You’re not a bitch. Try, fail, try again. It will work.

Obsess over your idea. Use your brain. God gave it to you — use it. Think fast. SPEED.

Caffeine. Coffee. Lock in. The world is being divided into rich and poor. There’s no time to waste.

Social media is key. Bad videos = failure. Videos must be FAST, many cuts, high energy. TikTok decides. No views = bad video. First 3 seconds matter. Use trending sounds.

Manifest it.

Believe in God. One true God. Take it or leave it — this is my truth.

Don’t even think about school. I know you’re in uni, but you’re digging a deep hole. Stay there and you’re cooked. I’m not joking. Finishing just because you started is a trap.

SPEED again. Stop procrastinating. Your life is in your hands RIGHT NOW. You will fail — but if you’re fast, you’ll learn fast and win.

Spam videos. Film more. Try more. Learn more. SPEED.

Hope. You must KNOW you’ll make it. I know I will. I will become extremely famous. Maybe you’ll hear about me. But you must believe. Cut distractions. No parties. No alcohol. Be 1000% certain.

We are not the same. Behind the screen, there are two guys working harder than you, planning more, doing more. I’ll make sure of it. But you still have a chance.

This mindset is rare. It’s on you to take it. Be relentless. Society will try to distract you — trust me.

By the way:
2.9k today.
20k this week.
83k this month.
104k in the last 40 days. pics is proof, trust me if you want

I was flat broke in September.

Be mad. Look at your life. Change it. I did — and you can too.

This is my story. The full truth. Believe it or don’t — I know I’ll make it.

Good luck

Thank u bro this is rly inspiring. yeah i have been looking to get into ecom too and this advice is very helpful. again thank you for sharing this

this guy is real as fuck. How do you learn the specifics of each a given business, ik you said youtube but is that all there is to it. i know for a fact i have the mindset and the competitiveness in me to succeed but i dont know where to put my effort i made some money using a few hustles in the past but it was never big money or enough to quit my job, i guess i just got to try and try again until i find a way? TY FOR KNOWLEDGE

not an expert and ik not reply to me but i think u should figure out what skills u learned from whaever hustles those were and use it to start a specfic business. cant tell u which one cah idk what hustles u did but it could be u learned to sell to ppl face to face or learned video editing and learned abit about yt algo. but watever it is try and capitilise off of it and just start asap its best to make mistakes so u can learn instead of doing hours of research trying to perfect everything before u start and best to just learn hands on ofc do a little research for the basics, hope dat helps.

TY FOR KNOWLEDGE

Ok first from now on you find an idea. Don’t leave your room until you find an idea. Don’t FauCKING LEAVE YOUR ROOM UNTIL YOU FIND AN IDEA. you have to find this one idea. Try to find a product you can make physically (clothes or any product) or online but you add your own twist to it. My first business was doing footbal t shirt with screen printing. It was so difficult but I learned a lot. Use your creativity use your brain. You have to be obsessed. You are broke!!! I couldn’t sleep when I didn’t know what to do. Find something to sell. Then questions will start to come how do I do this? How do it works? Bla-bla-bla YOUTUBE and ChatGPT learn quickly how to do your product then you buy your stuff and see how you can do your product if it works good if not fix the problem. Then you do videos post on TikTok post so much you will learn how to make good videos. I know people that made it with branded dropshipping but it is not my domain I make my own product and I am scaling my production I is way harder but it’s what has worked for me. Search a product find find find find something you have to find something and you try. Also, you have to have a little bit of money ok? But don’t be a bitch and work for months while doing nothing in business NO you start now now now. Find this idea this product you got it bro I will start social media very soon I just need to finish 1000 orders (I know I’m cooked) an automatisé this business. I will put everyone on the sauce soon. But find this fucking idea you have to panic bro!!! Find it!! Find this cool product everyone is lazy! The competition is you!!! But be fast be quick find it now now now

jett. said:
Last two paragraphs is my main points or so but the rest adds a lot of context basically my life story summarised (try read most of it as it makes more sense that way and i legit poured everything into this)

A little bit of my sport background and why I don't have a passion for any 9-5

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that. Because of that I damn near dropped sports completely also, for some reason (my fault too ofc) My parents just let me forget about sports aswell kinda completely, they were pushing it a little but i was too into video games. I guess it helped that I broke my leg in 2018 from an injury however I recovered in literally less then a year and after that in like 2021/2 I slowly got back into football but I was way too behind everyone else as I missed the core years but its ok because I discovered I had Osgood Schlatter which is just a bone deformation in your knee which limits your physical activity which I still have till this day so I guess football was just not meant for me. Because of my injury i could barely play a full 90 atleast with pain and legit just practiced skills and stuff as i found them fun which makes sense from my inspirations like neymar. But as of now I have completely stopped playing football basically mainly small recreational with friends and basketball.

Since my GCSE's I have been cooked academically as I have never had an academic passion like engineering or some bs. I am currently studying sport and exercise science just made most sense as I have a sport background (I mainly went uni to live by myself have my own room and space) which is kind of dumb but parents wanted me to go uni anyways.

First taste of money
When I was 16 I had my first taste of entrepreneurship which was selling fake air pods which went decent bu5t stopped after i got into a fight with some guy i was selling them to and meeting up irl i won tho as i had a growth spurt early and sport background and he was a grown man but a manlet. A week after i turned 17 I got my first part time job which was retail and I did along side school. It helped me buy nice clothes and useless designer bs which kinda helped me statusmaxx ig but not for long as now everyone has designer. At the start of 2024 I was introduced to forex and a forex group where i got signals from which i now know is bs dw but back then it sounded good and me with a part time job and a lil money fell for it. Was not all bad but obviously did not work out in the end. Will get back to trading later. And also because of my low morality I had started to do 'fraud' which I wont go into too much if you dk just search up social engineering and yh. This had started a little in late year 13 or basically 2024 as some of my friends I went school with did similar things especially in uni and it was just very exposed to me and easy to do and felt like the normal thing to do with the influences around me. did this like properly from June 2024 till like the rest of 2024 till like December ish even into uni so not that long tbf. the money I made from it was ok and fed my money hungry appetite or at least at that age. Something happened which made me realise what i was doing was not good. so I stopped it even anything slightly related to it spent the rest of my money that I made from it on bs which was ok as its not good money and got closer to God. What happened that made me stop was nothing that serious tbf just enough to wake me up. God is always watching inni.

The downfall of the downfall
Then in my first year of uni I wasn't as clear sighted as i am now with bad influences which are easier to ignore today my so called 'friends' who are extremely locked out till tday and i was just going through the days just partying, drugs and slaying literally not knowing where i wake up in the morning sometimes because i was too hungover a random girls room, as i have decent appeal especially for my phenotype as I am mixed and tall and etc. This did not help as it made it easier for me to pull and it legit only thing i focused on. And my drinking was quite bad because due to my slight nd i could literally only talk top girls drunk. Its better now tho but not as good as I want but not my priority as personality is cope anyways. Literally my whole class even today are just nerds who legit act like they are in a simulation and did not have much similar interests really wish there was someone similar to me to lock in with gym/money wise but there's not and it doesn't help i go to a uni in a different city. So I skipped most my classes which i still do but at least now i kind of take my assignments seriously. That whole thing that from that 'fraud era' opened my eyes a lil and it took me like 3 months to open my eyes completely.

I realised I am alive and need to sort my shi out
Around 2025 march/april i think something clicked in my brain and realised as corny as it sounds i need to escape the matrix. I even started going gym inconsistently as i never had the urge to go because my genetics give me a decent build anyways but something switch. Till about 2 months ago tho i started consistently going 4 days and tracking diet and stuff and dont c myself stopping. but one day on yt i saw brez scales and was inspired by what he had, his story and how he got there so ofc i tried the same business model which is freelance brand scaling. No i did not succeed. I legit done everything by the book had an ig with like 1k followers i used to reach out too after turning it from my old fort acc to a business one specific to brand scaling, and was not able to get a serious or willing to pay client after like 3 months of consistently reaching out networking in the community and yes i offered free trial periods and what not. i guess it helps to have friends in that community already or that have a good online brand and yes i tried reaching out to legit every type of company through ig Facebook shi even etsy. One day I just thought this shi is not going to work out let me stop wasting my time and try build a skill over time. So since i somewhat like numbers a lil and liked the fact that its just you vs you basically and didn't need to deal with annoying clients as i am a little nd i started learning to trade without the signals bs ofc. As everyone else I opened up my laptop and played episode one of tjrs bootcamp.

The second lock in on something better
through the summer i basically had a full time job sometimes working 6 days a week just to save for second year as i know i could not guarantee a job where i want uni as it is very completive as it is basically a uni city with lots of students and i wanted to work on myself or a business or hustle without worrying about money. but by the end of summer 2025 i finished the bootcamp done some further research/learning looking into ict concepts that were not covered like an smt and what not. I was paper trading lowkey the whole time doing this and in like august till october i was profitable so ofc i bought an apex funded as it was cheap and tbh i did not expect to pass. i failed after getting to like 5% got over confident as the goal was like 6% or sum and just blew the account in like less then a week but it taught me alot. I havent bought a funded since then but went back on paper and i am profitable in november as I was up about 8%. I risked less and targeted less but i am much more consistent. In December I have not traded at all only peaked at charts sometimes just quickly visualising how i would've dealt with pa. but i have not traded this month due to exams. Avoiding trading because of exams made me realise that because life moves so fast i am not sure if i will even have time to become a profitable trader because ofc after my third year i am expected to get a job straight away.

The dilemma and potential solutions
But I don't want trading to be my only escape from a 9-5 which is not a good thing to count on especially due to the statistics but something that makes more sense to do while trading just in case it doesn't work makes sense for me to do. and I mean starting a business providing service or product as I have a little business xp when running a small hustle or business or at least setting it up and these days ai makes it very easy its just making that business work which is the difficult part. And I don't rly know anything else to get rich from online except for content. I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

At least you tried making something decent by dividing your rant into paragraphs but it's still unreadable. Your story is very basic, i promise. If only you had a somewhat rare and thought provoking story it may've been worth it but this is slop.

The best thing you should do is see a therapist, entrepreneurship will not help you, if you're incapable of working 8 hours to earn a decent wage you won't be able to work 12 for the first few years of your business. Side hustles and Scamming won't help either. Just fix your life.

You are supposed to be MAD. EXTREMELY MAD. You’re supposed to go insane seeing people succeed more than you. Look at me. I was exactly where you are — watching people with money while grinding nonstop.

Now I’ll give you advice, because I’m that guy.

SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED.
Do you understand? SPEED. If you want something, you do it NOW. Don’t wait. Waiting is for bitches.

Focus on MONEY IN. Every thought, every action must lead to money in. No side-quest bullshit. No distractions.

The model that worked for me is ecommerce. Sell online. Shopify store. GemPages for your site. Link two worlds: if you like MMA and T-shirts, boom, business. Anything sellable, try it. Make sure production is fast. Learn from YouTube — but don’t overlearn. Start doing.

Try. You’re not a bitch. Try, fail, try again. It will work.

Obsess over your idea. Use your brain. God gave it to you — use it. Think fast. SPEED.

Caffeine. Coffee. Lock in. The world is being divided into rich and poor. There’s no time to waste.

Social media is key. Bad videos = failure. Videos must be FAST, many cuts, high energy. TikTok decides. No views = bad video. First 3 seconds matter. Use trending sounds.

Manifest it.

Believe in God. One true God. Take it or leave it — this is my truth.

Don’t even think about school. I know you’re in uni, but you’re digging a deep hole. Stay there and you’re cooked. I’m not joking. Finishing just because you started is a trap.

SPEED again. Stop procrastinating. Your life is in your hands RIGHT NOW. You will fail — but if you’re fast, you’ll learn fast and win.

Spam videos. Film more. Try more. Learn more. SPEED.

Hope. You must KNOW you’ll make it. I know I will. I will become extremely famous. Maybe you’ll hear about me. But you must believe. Cut distractions. No parties. No alcohol. Be 1000% certain.

We are not the same. Behind the screen, there are two guys working harder than you, planning more, doing more. I’ll make sure of it. But you still have a chance.

This mindset is rare. It’s on you to take it. Be relentless. Society will try to distract you — trust me.

By the way:
2.9k today.
20k this week.
83k this month.
104k in the last 40 days. pics is proof, trust me if you want

I was flat broke in September.

Be mad. Look at your life. Change it. I did — and you can too.

This is my story. The full truth. Believe it or don’t — I know I’ll make it.

Good luck

I would honestly love to belive you now but this just sounds too

and has gpt marks over it

You might have used gpt for valid reason (in your case your main language is french) but still

real shit bro

I'm kinda in a similar spot as this guy but i feel like I'm just trying to avoid the hard truth of likely having to work 9-5 and becoming rich when old(if that even happens)

The best thing to do i develop a skill (get very good at it) which takes time and then monetize it somehow which has a component of luck

That's not even a good plan. Far from the besf one. The best one is to get an education, the best possible and get a high paying job. That's going to give you actual specialization and a real marketable skill if you have the vision you can network and start a company with some people you share ideas with.

If you're not willing to accept this truth and put in the work associated with it, just give up already. This is how they all did it, even Gabe Newell, Valve's owner did this he worked for years at microsoft before founding valve in the 90's and it was rough the business bled money for years before becoming profitable, same thing for google, for openai, Sandfall and most of the companies you know. Very few made it out by themselves and even fewer did it without prior education and money.

Sorry I forgot to mention

Yes I agree with you and I am in university studying engineering but just the fact that it's very unlikely one could enjoy wealth while young just makes me very uncomfortable and also the fact that wealth at an old age is not even guaranteed even if you put in the work

Last two paragraphs is my main points or so but the rest adds a lot of context basically my life story summarised (try read most of it as it makes more sense that way and i legit poured everything into this)

A little bit of my sport background and why I don't have a passion for any 9-5

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that. Because of that I damn near dropped sports completely also, for some reason (my fault too ofc) My parents just let me forget about sports aswell kinda completely, they were pushing it a little but i was too into video games. I guess it helped that I broke my leg in 2018 from an injury however I recovered in literally less then a year and after that in like 2021/2 I slowly got back into football but I was way too behind everyone else as I missed the core years but its ok because I discovered I had Osgood Schlatter which is just a bone deformation in your knee which limits your physical activity which I still have till this day so I guess football was just not meant for me. Because of my injury i could barely play a full 90 atleast with pain and legit just practiced skills and stuff as i found them fun which makes sense from my inspirations like neymar. But as of now I have completely stopped playing football basically mainly small recreational with friends and basketball.

Since my GCSE's I have been cooked academically as I have never had an academic passion like engineering or some bs. I am currently studying sport and exercise science just made most sense as I have a sport background (I mainly went uni to live by myself have my own room and space) which is kind of dumb but parents wanted me to go uni anyways.

First taste of money
When I was 16 I had my first taste of entrepreneurship which was selling fake air pods which went decent bu5t stopped after i got into a fight with some guy i was selling them to and meeting up irl i won tho as i had a growth spurt early and sport background and he was a grown man but a manlet. A week after i turned 17 I got my first part time job which was retail and I did along side school. It helped me buy nice clothes and useless designer bs which kinda helped me statusmaxx ig but not for long as now everyone has designer. At the start of 2024 I was introduced to forex and a forex group where i got signals from which i now know is bs dw but back then it sounded good and me with a part time job and a lil money fell for it. Was not all bad but obviously did not work out in the end. Will get back to trading later. And also because of my low morality I had started to do 'fraud' which I wont go into too much if you dk just search up social engineering and yh. This had started a little in late year 13 or basically 2024 as some of my friends I went school with did similar things especially in uni and it was just very exposed to me and easy to do and felt like the normal thing to do with the influences around me. did this like properly from June 2024 till like the rest of 2024 till like December ish even into uni so not that long tbf. the money I made from it was ok and fed my money hungry appetite or at least at that age. Something happened which made me realise what i was doing was not good. so I stopped it even anything slightly related to it spent the rest of my money that I made from it on bs which was ok as its not good money and got closer to God. What happened that made me stop was nothing that serious tbf just enough to wake me up. God is always watching inni.

The downfall of the downfall
Then in my first year of uni I wasn't as clear sighted as i am now with bad influences which are easier to ignore today my so called 'friends' who are extremely locked out till tday and i was just going through the days just partying, drugs and slaying literally not knowing where i wake up in the morning sometimes because i was too hungover a random girls room, as i have decent appeal especially for my phenotype as I am mixed and tall and etc. This did not help as it made it easier for me to pull and it legit only thing i focused on. And my drinking was quite bad because due to my slight nd i could literally only talk top girls drunk. Its better now tho but not as good as I want but not my priority as personality is cope anyways. Literally my whole class even today are just nerds who legit act like they are in a simulation and did not have much similar interests really wish there was someone similar to me to lock in with gym/money wise but there's not and it doesn't help i go to a uni in a different city. So I skipped most my classes which i still do but at least now i kind of take my assignments seriously. That whole thing that from that 'fraud era' opened my eyes a lil and it took me like 3 months to open my eyes completely.

I realised I am alive and need to sort my shi out
Around 2025 march/april i think something clicked in my brain and realised as corny as it sounds i need to escape the matrix. I even started going gym inconsistently as i never had the urge to go because my genetics give me a decent build anyways but something switch. Till about 2 months ago tho i started consistently going 4 days and tracking diet and stuff and dont c myself stopping. but one day on yt i saw brez scales and was inspired by what he had, his story and how he got there so ofc i tried the same business model which is freelance brand scaling. No i did not succeed. I legit done everything by the book had an ig with like 1k followers i used to reach out too after turning it from my old fort acc to a business one specific to brand scaling, and was not able to get a serious or willing to pay client after like 3 months of consistently reaching out networking in the community and yes i offered free trial periods and what not. i guess it helps to have friends in that community already or that have a good online brand and yes i tried reaching out to legit every type of company through ig Facebook shi even etsy. One day I just thought this shi is not going to work out let me stop wasting my time and try build a skill over time. So since i somewhat like numbers a lil and liked the fact that its just you vs you basically and didn't need to deal with annoying clients as i am a little nd i started learning to trade without the signals bs ofc. As everyone else I opened up my laptop and played episode one of tjrs bootcamp.

The second lock in on something better
through the summer i basically had a full time job sometimes working 6 days a week just to save for second year as i know i could not guarantee a job where i want uni as it is very completive as it is basically a uni city with lots of students and i wanted to work on myself or a business or hustle without worrying about money. but by the end of summer 2025 i finished the bootcamp done some further research/learning looking into ict concepts that were not covered like an smt and what not. I was paper trading lowkey the whole time doing this and in like august till october i was profitable so ofc i bought an apex funded as it was cheap and tbh i did not expect to pass. i failed after getting to like 5% got over confident as the goal was like 6% or sum and just blew the account in like less then a week but it taught me alot. I havent bought a funded since then but went back on paper and i am profitable in november as I was up about 8%. I risked less and targeted less but i am much more consistent. In December I have not traded at all only peaked at charts sometimes just quickly visualising how i would've dealt with pa. but i have not traded this month due to exams. Avoiding trading because of exams made me realise that because life moves so fast i am not sure if i will even have time to become a profitable trader because ofc after my third year i am expected to get a job straight away.

The dilemma and potential solutions
But I don't want trading to be my only escape from a 9-5 which is not a good thing to count on especially due to the statistics but something that makes more sense to do while trading just in case it doesn't work makes sense for me to do. and I mean starting a business providing service or product as I have a little business xp when running a small hustle or business or at least setting it up and these days ai makes it very easy its just making that business work which is the difficult part. And I don't rly know anything else to get rich from online except for content. I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out. Also another money motivation for me is need some fucking surplus of money to fund my peptides and eat steak everyday and shi as i will prolly start using them early or mid next year even tho my build is alright ig but you can always be better body wise and face wise ofc.

Best and worse case scenario for me
Tbh best case for me is to get rich through internet money preferably trading but ik its not a get rich quick scheme and needs consistency over years before you can even considered calling yourself rich, but internet money is my preferable way of becoming successful like an online business content or legit anything but thats morally correct as i have been tryna get closer to God recently too. But yh build at least 5 maybe 10k/m before i finish uni or at some point in 2026 so i can fucking dropout and lock in with my goals move into a calm apartment and grind move out the uk to America network with business owners content creators and shi move into a penthouse drive a nice car and yh, so i can fucking drop out of uni it genuinely fries my brain and feels like im being programmed to just be a sheep and join the rat race.
Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

Don't focus on the future like that you're just stressing yourself for nothing. Soon you'll realize being rich young is definitely a bad idea you'll most likely blow through it very fast and you won't have anything to transfer to your kin.

Just curious as to why you think being rich at a young age is bad. I don't think I'm the type of person to be wasteful or let things get to my head (ik it's easier said than done). I think money doesn't change a person it just exaggerated who they really are which would actually benefit me personally.

Well, it's mostly inexperience and that in a bunch of things. But life experience as a whole is needed to manage large amounts of money. I've been recently receiving life changing lessons about money work and people and it has changed my perspective on how i view myself and my future. I'm not a wasteful person either, but i now know that if i had $10M right now i wouldn't finish this decade with equal or superior sum.

Yes exactly I wrote everything in one paragraph and told ChatGPT to make it readable. The original text was horrible. I speak French yes. I wrote all of my story from this whole year because I started business a year ago. We are at 92k the last 30 days which is consistent from the last post. Yesterday we were at 2.6k. I am saying the truth, I have nothing to gain from this, I actually like to help people and I am sure someone will gain something from it. I think I am also giving real advice, no cope. So yeah I will scale even more the beginning of 2026 and hit even bigger number. Good luck and start now!!!!

Yo, I read what you said a bit too quickly, and honestly, I went through a way worse situation than you, with the exact same mindset. Also, you’re pretty lucky you came across me. You better take me seriously, because you won’t find someone else like me. Listen.

I always had something inside me. I knew the 9–5 was fkg bullshit, and that I’d end up famous or something like that, but it was vague. Then I thought about becoming a pilot, failed the exams, and had to go to a normal high school.

At the beginning of the school year, my cousin didn’t have school, so he was looking for a job. A guy from his school was looking for someone to help with his business. We decided to work for him in September. We learned a lot. It was a screen-printing / T-shirt business. We worked so hard that he even proposed we start our own business using his machines, but he’d keep 50% of the profit.

We grinded like crazy and made around 15k in one month (from right after Black Friday to January 1st — yes, we missed Black Friday XD). Then we decided to split and change paths. Things weren’t going our way, but we didn’t give up. We got hit with chargebacks, lost money, literally lost everything.

Then we tried another brand, this time with embroidery. We bought a machine with credit cards, worked hard, and grinded designs. We sold some, but it was extremely slow (lesson learned). We sold the machine, tried TikTok videos, tried reselling… until April.

Then, by the will of God, an idea came to me. We found something to sell that had never been done. The next day, we started prototyping, but it was slow and difficult because we were completely broke.

Summer came. We both found small jobs, not even 8 hours a week. We saved a bit of money while trying to pay our credit cards because of orders we were placing for our product. It was extremely difficult: waking up at 5am, going to the library to edit, trying videos for hours, then going to work and sleeping.

Then our parents kicked us out after an argument, so we had to find a tiny office (150 ft²). By the way, I was 18. Eventually, in August, we found full-time jobs and could pay rent. But guess what? One week after signing, they dropped our hours to around 4 hours per week each. We were cooked.

We were extremely stressed: no money, no house, no food, nothing. I was literally ready to scam people just to get money — but I didn’t. I knew we had to keep looking for a solution.

Again, by God’s will, I found a job as a cleaner in a drug factory, and my cousin found a job in a restaurant 15km away from where we were sleeping. He biked there every day at 6am.

We started making some money. We worked non-stop to make better and better videos, built our website, and launched. No sales at first. Then one video popped off, we got sales, used it as an ad, and got more sales. Every dollar went back into paying credit cards. You have no idea how smart we played with credit.

At some point, we couldn’t even work on the business because of exhaustion from our jobs. Then the same mentor we’d known from a year earlier learned about our business and decided to invest 5k for 10%. We quit our jobs instantly and went all in.

HOURS. HOURS. HOURS. Non-stop work. Every day. Videos, speed, faster, more, more, more. We were moving.

But we made a 7k order with our supplier before even receiving the 5k. We were about to hit rock bottom… until ONE ad. One. One ad popped off. Millions of views.

That’s when we got it.

We learned how to make good videos and good ads. From there, we got sales, reinvested, bought stock, sold more. WE ARE GRINDERS. I’m not bragging — you need to understand this.

ONE FULL YEAR of literal suffering just to finally make money. We learned. We took action. We never touched alcohol. Never went to clubs or parties. I’m 18, my cousin is 19. No one will ever stop us. We will outwork everyone — even our mentor.

I’m not here to flex, I’m here to tell you the truth. This is what it takes. Some have it easy. Some have to suffer and learn the hard way. This journey took me so far in life, you can’t even imagine.

I dropped school. I’m 18 and I don’t even think about it. Business is mental. Once you learn, once you gain knowledge, you will succeed.

But understand the difference between us and you.

You are supposed to be MAD. EXTREMELY MAD. You’re supposed to go insane seeing people succeed more than you. Look at me. I was exactly where you are — watching people with money while grinding nonstop.

tbh idrc if its basic to you because its true and honest. I didnt amplify it so it can be dramatic and some crazy ascension post its just a real story. I have worked plenty of 8 hour even up to 10 hour days and I ik i can work 12 hours if its towards a goal and not just a dumb boss or for someone else. And ik side hustles and scamming wont fix anything I legit said the whole thing about scamming and me stopping in the post and even small side hustles. ‘Just fix your life’ very insightful.

Ok first from now on you find an idea. Don’t leave your room until you find an idea. Don’t FauCKING LEAVE YOUR ROOM UNTIL YOU FIND AN IDEA. you have to find this one idea. Try to find a product you can make physically (clothes or any product) or online but you add your own twist to it. My first business was doing footbal t shirt with screen printing. It was so difficult but I learned a lot. Use your creativity use your brain. You have to be obsessed. You are broke!!! I couldn’t sleep when I didn’t know what to do. Find something to sell. Then questions will start to come how do I do this? How do it works? Bla-bla-bla YOUTUBE and ChatGPT learn quickly how to do your product then you buy your stuff and see how you can do your product if it works good if not fix the problem. Then you do videos post on TikTok post so much you will learn how to make good videos. I know people that made it with branded dropshipping but it is not my domain I make my own product and I am scaling my production I is way harder but it’s what has worked for me. Search a product find find find find something you have to find something and you try. Also, you have to have a little bit of money ok? But don’t be a bitch and work for months while doing nothing in business NO you start now now now. Find this idea this product you got it bro I will start social media very soon I just need to finish 1000 orders (I know I’m cooked) an automatisé this business. I will put everyone on the sauce soon. But find this fucking idea you have to panic bro!!! Find it!! Find this cool product everyone is lazy! The competition is you!!! But be fast be quick find it now now now

thank you bro, if i make one promise to myself it will be that ill start now and i wont wait. Im honestly not that creative but if its what i need to do i dont care ill find a way. Might look into branded dropshipping too. Youtube and chatgpt are getting hounded tn.

Because of my injury i could barely play a full 90 atleast with pain and legit just practiced skills and stuff as i found them fun which makes sense from my inspirations like neymar. But as of now I have completely stopped playing football basically mainly small recreational with friends and basketball.

Since my GCSE's I have been cooked academically as I have never had an academic passion like engineering or some bs. I am currently studying sport and exercise science just made most sense as I have a sport background (I mainly went uni to live by myself have my own room and space) which is kind of dumb but parents wanted me to go uni anyways.

First taste of money
When I was 16 I had my first taste of entrepreneurship which was selling fake air pods which went decent bu5t stopped after i got into a fight with some guy i was selling them to and meeting up irl i won tho as i had a growth spurt early and sport background and he was a grown man but a manlet. A week after i turned 17 I got my first part time job which was retail and I did along side school. It helped me buy nice clothes and useless designer bs which kinda helped me statusmaxx ig but not for long as now everyone has designer. At the start of 2024 I was introduced to forex and a forex group where i got signals from which i now know is bs dw but back then it sounded good and me with a part time job and a lil money fell for it. Was not all bad but obviously did not work out in the end. Will get back to trading later. And also because of my low morality I had started to do 'fraud' which I wont go into too much if you dk just search up social engineering and yh. This had started a little in late year 13 or basically 2024 as some of my friends I went school with did similar things especially in uni and it was just very exposed to me and easy to do and felt like the normal thing to do with the influences around me. did this like properly from June 2024 till like the rest of 2024 till like December ish even into uni so not that long tbf. the money I made from it was ok and fed my money hungry appetite or at least at that age. Something happened which made me realise what i was doing was not good. so I stopped it even anything slightly related to it spent the rest of my money that I made from it on bs which was ok as its not good money and got closer to God. What happened that made me stop was nothing that serious tbf just enough to wake me up. God is always watching inni.

The downfall of the downfall
Then in my first year of uni I wasn't as clear sighted as i am now with bad influences which are easier to ignore today my so called 'friends' who are extremely locked out till tday and i was just going through the days just partying, drugs and slaying literally not knowing where i wake up in the morning sometimes because i was too hungover a random girls room, as i have decent appeal especially for my phenotype as I am mixed and tall and etc. This did not help as it made it easier for me to pull and it legit only thing i focused on. And my drinking was quite bad because due to my slight nd i could literally only talk top girls drunk. Its better now tho but not as good as I want but not my priority as personality is cope anyways. Literally my whole class even today are just nerds who legit act like they are in a simulation and did not have much similar interests really wish there was someone similar to me to lock in with gym/money wise but there's not and it doesn't help i go to a uni in a different city. So I skipped most my classes which i still do but at least now i kind of take my assignments seriously. That whole thing that from that 'fraud era' opened my eyes a lil and it took me like 3 months to open my eyes completely.

I realised I am alive and need to sort my shi out
Around 2025 march/april i think something clicked in my brain and realised as corny as it sounds i need to escape the matrix. I even started going gym inconsistently as i never had the urge to go because my genetics give me a decent build anyways but something switch. Till about 2 months ago tho i started consistently going 4 days and tracking diet and stuff and dont c myself stopping. but one day on yt i saw brez scales and was inspired by what he had, his story and how he got there so ofc i tried the same business model which is freelance brand scaling. No i did not succeed. I legit done everything by the book had an ig with like 1k followers i used to reach out too after turning it from my old fort acc to a business one specific to brand scaling, and was not able to get a serious or willing to pay client after like 3 months of consistently reaching out networking in the community and yes i offered free trial periods and what not. i guess it helps to have friends in that community already or that have a good online brand and yes i tried reaching out to legit every type of company through ig Facebook shi even etsy. One day I just thought this shi is not going to work out let me stop wasting my time and try build a skill over time. So since i somewhat like numbers a lil and liked the fact that its just you vs you basically and didn't need to deal with annoying clients as i am a little nd i started learning to trade without the signals bs ofc. As everyone else I opened up my laptop and played episode one of tjrs bootcamp.

The second lock in on something better
through the summer i basically had a full time job sometimes working 6 days a week just to save for second year as i know i could not guarantee a job where i want uni as it is very completive as it is basically a uni city with lots of students and i wanted to work on myself or a business or hustle without worrying about money. but by the end of summer 2025 i finished the bootcamp done some further research/learning looking into ict concepts that were not covered like an smt and what not. I was paper trading lowkey the whole time doing this and in like august till october i was profitable so ofc i bought an apex funded as it was cheap and tbh i did not expect to pass. i failed after getting to like 5% got over confident as the goal was like 6% or sum and just blew the account in like less then a week but it taught me alot. I havent bought a funded since then but went back on paper and i am profitable in november as I was up about 8%. I risked less and targeted less but i am much more consistent. In December I have not traded at all only peaked at charts sometimes just quickly visualising how i would've dealt with pa. but i have not traded this month due to exams. Avoiding trading because of exams made me realise that because life moves so fast i am not sure if i will even have time to become a profitable trader because ofc after my third year i am expected to get a job straight away.

The dilemma and potential solutions
But I don't want trading to be my only escape from a 9-5 which is not a good thing to count on especially due to the statistics but something that makes more sense to do while trading just in case it doesn't work makes sense for me to do. and I mean starting a business providing service or product as I have a little business xp when running a small hustle or business or at least setting it up and these days ai makes it very easy its just making that business work which is the difficult part. And I don't rly know anything else to get rich from online except for content. I have even recently considered legit going on holiday to America or something and start irl streaming and just try find influencers or something and just clip farm the whole time hoping I get lucky ofc there's more thought into it like I have a camera and potential setup in mind that would be good to use and i would try build a small community first but just streaming irl in my area or everyday life gym, trading and uni pretty much or/and chilling in my room reacting to or interacting with a potential discord community or ofc viewers. like I have genuinely considered irl streaming as I am a lil and and quite introverted that's how scared i am of working for 42 years and being rich by 64 when I can barely walk. It is currently 12 am even though I should be going sleep for optimal sleep especially for gym but i have like 5 tabs open on what to focus on or what could save me from a 9-5 and i thought why not write in .org so if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out. Also another money motivation for me is need some fucking surplus of money to fund my peptides and eat steak everyday and shi as i will prolly start using them early or mid next year even tho my build is alright ig but you can always be better body wise and face wise ofc.

Best and worse case scenario for me
Tbh best case for me is to get rich through internet money preferably trading but ik its not a get rich quick scheme and needs consistency over years before you can even considered calling yourself rich, but internet money is my preferable way of becoming successful like an online business content or legit anything but thats morally correct as i have been tryna get closer to God recently too. But yh build at least 5 maybe 10k/m before i finish uni or at some point in 2026 so i can fucking dropout and lock in with my goals move into a calm apartment and grind move out the uk to America network with business owners content creators and shi move into a penthouse drive a nice car and yh, so i can fucking drop out of uni it genuinely fries my brain and feels like im being programmed to just be a sheep and join the rat race.
Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

A little bit of my sport background and why I don't have a passion for any 9-5

I am 19 right now in my second year of university, from and living in the uk. Growing up I have always wanted to be a football player with nothing else in mind looking up to players like neymar, messi etc. Around 2017 when Fortnite came out I became basically chronically online and got really good at the game which made my addiction worse and played it constantly for nearly 4-5 years and legit thought I could go pro but I was coping as I was on ps4 lol and setup was cheeks but that might be cope too but i legit had YouTube montages, placements, wager earnings and all that. Because of that I damn near dropped sports completely also, for some reason (my fault too ofc) My parents just let me forget about sports aswell kinda completely, they were pushing it a little but i was too into video games. I guess it helped that I broke my leg in 2018 from an injury however I recovered in literally less then a year and after that in like 2021/2 I slowly got back into football but I was way too behind everyone else as I missed the core years but its ok because I discovered I had Osgood Schlatter which is just a bone deformation in your knee which limits your physical activity which I still have till this day so I guess football was just not meant for me.

Worse case scenario is that I don't try my absolute hardest to get rich and then its too late get stuck going pay check to pay check and literally either kms by 25 or live the rest of my life without a soul and never enjoy life again knowing every Monday morning I have to wake up at 6am if not earlier to get to work make money for someone else get like 1% of my contributions to the company leave my desk at 6pm because I am working longer hours to get a 2% increase in my cuck pay check so I can afford sugar in my morning coffee go home to a bitch wife to eat some sad dinner and go bed with no sex and repeat till I drop. I genuinely fear my future of a 9-5.

Be honest and yh if anyone is in or was in a similar position to me please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I am also lowkey looking for someone similar to me to grind with and start a business with in what, idk yet but we will figure that out.

im 25, and i "closed my business" or rather ended my self-employmentship in my profession, that i pretty much grew up in and got from my biological mother, due to many factors outside of my control (getting blackrocked due to inconvinient circumstances is worse then the blackpill on every aspect btw)

i will read your whole post but i can assure you my answer will be longer then your whole post jfl

before reading it: some factors being outside of your control doesn't mean that this the "end", if you are looking into legit moneymaxxing its harder then ever due to the purchasing power being decreased by alot, and therefore people simply not having the ressources to share so you can "profit", and being "blackpilled" and visiting "blackpill"forums eversince im pretty much 16-17 you might be able to relate

Yo, I read what you said a bit too quickly, and honestly, I went through a way worse situation than you, with the exact same mindset. Also, you’re pretty lucky you came across me. You better take me seriously, because you won’t find someone else like me. Listen.

I always had something inside me. I knew the 9–5 was fkg bullshit, and that I’d end up famous or something like that, but it was vague. Then I thought about becoming a pilot, failed the exams, and had to go to a normal high school.

At the beginning of the school year, my cousin didn’t have school, so he was looking for a job. A guy from his school was looking for someone to help with his business. We decided to work for him in September. We learned a lot. It was a screen-printing / T-shirt business. We worked so hard that he even proposed we start our own business using his machines, but he’d keep 50% of the profit.

We grinded like crazy and made around 15k in one month (from right after Black Friday to January 1st — yes, we missed Black Friday XD). Then we decided to split and change paths. Things weren’t going our way, but we didn’t give up. We got hit with chargebacks, lost money, literally lost everything.

Then we tried another brand, this time with embroidery. We bought a machine with credit cards, worked hard, and grinded designs. We sold some, but it was extremely slow (lesson learned). We sold the machine, tried TikTok videos, tried reselling… until April.

Then, by the will of God, an idea came to me. We found something to sell that had never been done. The next day, we started prototyping, but it was slow and difficult because we were completely broke.

Summer came. We both found small jobs, not even 8 hours a week. We saved a bit of money while trying to pay our credit cards because of orders we were placing for our product. It was extremely difficult: waking up at 5am, going to the library to edit, trying videos for hours, then going to work and sleeping.

Then our parents kicked us out after an argument, so we had to find a tiny office (150 ft²). By the way, I was 18. Eventually, in August, we found full-time jobs and could pay rent. But guess what? One week after signing, they dropped our hours to around 4 hours per week each. We were cooked.

We were extremely stressed: no money, no house, no food, nothing. I was literally ready to scam people just to get money — but I didn’t. I knew we had to keep looking for a solution.

Again, by God’s will, I found a job as a cleaner in a drug factory, and my cousin found a job in a restaurant 15km away from where we were sleeping. He biked there every day at 6am.

We started making some money. We worked non-stop to make better and better videos, built our website, and launched. No sales at first. Then one video popped off, we got sales, used it as an ad, and got more sales. Every dollar went back into paying credit cards. You have no idea how smart we played with credit.

At some point, we couldn’t even work on the business because of exhaustion from our jobs. Then the same mentor we’d known from a year earlier learned about our business and decided to invest 5k for 10%. We quit our jobs instantly and went all in.

HOURS. HOURS. HOURS. Non-stop work. Every day. Videos, speed, faster, more, more, more. We were moving.

But we made a 7k order with our supplier before even receiving the 5k. We were about to hit rock bottom… until ONE ad. One. One ad popped off. Millions of views.

That’s when we got it.

We learned how to make good videos and good ads. From there, we got sales, reinvested, bought stock, sold more. WE ARE GRINDERS. I’m not bragging — you need to understand this.

ONE FULL YEAR of literal suffering just to finally make money. We learned. We took action. We never touched alcohol. Never went to clubs or parties. I’m 18, my cousin is 19. No one will ever stop us. We will outwork everyone — even our mentor.

I’m not here to flex, I’m here to tell you the truth. This is what it takes. Some have it easy. Some have to suffer and learn the hard way. This journey took me so far in life, you can’t even imagine.

I dropped school. I’m 18 and I don’t even think about it. Business is mental. Once you learn, once you gain knowledge, you will succeed.

But understand the difference between us and you.

You are supposed to be MAD. EXTREMELY MAD. You’re supposed to go insane seeing people succeed more than you. Look at me. I was exactly where you are — watching people with money while grinding nonstop.

Now I’ll give you advice, because I’m that guy.

SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED. SPEED.
Do you understand? SPEED. If you want something, you do it NOW. Don’t wait. Waiting is for bitches.

Focus on MONEY IN. Every thought, every action must lead to money in. No side-quest bullshit. No distractions.

The model that worked for me is ecommerce. Sell online. Shopify store. GemPages for your site. Link two worlds: if you like MMA and T-shirts, boom, business. Anything sellable, try it. Make sure production is fast. Learn from YouTube — but don’t overlearn. Start doing.

Try. You’re not a bitch. Try, fail, try again. It will work.

Obsess over your idea. Use your brain. God gave it to you — use it. Think fast. SPEED.

Caffeine. Coffee. Lock in. The world is being divided into rich and poor. There’s no time to waste.

Social media is key. Bad videos = failure. Videos must be FAST, many cuts, high energy. TikTok decides. No views = bad video. First 3 seconds matter. Use trending sounds.

Manifest it.

Believe in God. One true God. Take it or leave it — this is my truth.

Don’t even think about school. I know you’re in uni, but you’re digging a deep hole. Stay there and you’re cooked. I’m not joking. Finishing just because you started is a trap.

SPEED again. Stop procrastinating. Your life is in your hands RIGHT NOW. You will fail — but if you’re fast, you’ll learn fast and win.

Spam videos. Film more. Try more. Learn more. SPEED.

Hope. You must KNOW you’ll make it. I know I will. I will become extremely famous. Maybe you’ll hear about me. But you must believe. Cut distractions. No parties. No alcohol. Be 1000% certain.

We are not the same. Behind the screen, there are two guys working harder than you, planning more, doing more. I’ll make sure of it. But you still have a chance.

This mindset is rare. It’s on you to take it. Be relentless. Society will try to distract you — trust me.

By the way:
2.9k today.
20k this week.
83k this month.
104k in the last 40 days. pics is proof, trust me if you want

I was flat broke in September.

Be mad. Look at your life. Change it. I did — and you can too.

This is my story. The full truth. Believe it or don’t — I know I’ll make it.

Good luck
