Years ago, I was being pressured by my parents to get a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke). I was finishing 8th grade and I knew I needed to make money somehow but deep down I also knew I never wanted to work for anyone.
I started flipping shoes and other 'hype beast' clothing as a side hustle. I did this for a few years, and after learning more about the industry, I was able to make some good money. But this wasn't enough to please my parents, and as the years went on, the pressure to get a job kept growing and growing.
I knew I had to prove them wrong... and myself right! So I pooled all the money I managed to save and I started running Facebook & Google ads for businesses in my local area.
We had clients paying anywhere from $1000-$3000 per month - which was great at the time - but I always felt like I was building everyones business except my own. And that's when I started e-commerce.
Fast forward to today, I've generated over $355,000 in e-commerce and more importantly... I've helped over 2000 students either start or scale their own online business.
