Week 1: Let The Journey Begin

If you are reading this blog, first congratulations for even finding it. But second you probably expected this to be about someone who was poor and now is a multi-millionaire and is going to give you the keys to success (on some DJ Khaled ish). I'm sorry to say this is not that type of blog!

I'm not rich, heck my net worth is in the negative because of my student loans. But I am someone who is determined to make it out of the life I live, to live among some of the wealthiest people in the world and show everyone that they can make it too.

Now when we see people talk about how to be wealthy, we listen to successful men and women who came from humble beginning, grinding to reach the success that they have now. But rarely have we heard a story of someone documenting their experiences of trying to build wealth AS IT'S HAPPENING! This is where I come in with this blog. Every week I will be updating my journey, what I did, what the current plan is, and even what the future moves are. All this for two possible outcomes. I can fall flat on my face by failing (which I plan is going to happen numerous times), or I can be a success and prove that ANYONE can build wealth regardless of their background.

Before I get into my first week on this journey, let me give you some background on me. I am a full time college student living in New York City. What that means is I'm in the number one reason people go into debt living in literally the most expensive city in the United States in terms of cost of living. With this and counting Section Eight apartments, Food Stamps, it makes for a ton of excuses for failing. But these are motivations for me.

My total net worth as of today

So how do I plan on doing this? Numerous risks. Currently I have a job, an online shopify store that you can see here, and started this marketing business called Digital Altitude. Before you jump me saying it's a scam, I've done all of my research on the business, its business model, and how people have been able to make money. This is why I said numerous risks. I know the risks but I'm willing to take it. Who knows, if it works then you will know its safe for you.

Currently I am in the middle of their six start up steps. I've had two conversations with the coaches that you are given to help you through the process. The beginning steps are pretty simple: watch a video with the days topic, read the overview that's included, then complete a review sheet to make sure you understood with you just learned. You do two of these each day then call your coach. They lock the steps so you pretty much have to contact your coach. 

Will I succeed? Will I fail? We shall see.
