My names Aidan, and here's my story
Hey everyone. 2.5 years ago I was in college, and working a full time 9-5. I was stuck but didn't have the will, skills, or knowledge to break free. And then I got an incurable disease. (Crohns) I lost 40lbs, my job, and dropped out of college to spend my days alternating between hospital visits and my bed. It was at that point, laying in a hospital bed, wondering "why the fuck is this happening to me?" that I decided to do something about my life. With some immense lifestyle changes (and some medication) I was able to recover and finally leave the hospital. 6 months later I had gained all the weight back in muscle and fully recovered! (Long painful story - see picture) It was at this point I was hit with a new choice... 1. Go back to college and my old 9-5... 2. Go all in on the creator economy based off of one Dan Koe video I saw while in the hospital I chose the latter. I realized that getting sick was a wakeup call, it was God telling me I was destined for more than a job and life I hated. For 6 months I didn't make a single dollar and went over $6k in debt on my credit card. I was despairing, ready to go back to my 9-5 and call this online game quits, but for some reason I decided to give myself one more month. "1 more month, if I can't monetize by then, I will go back to my old life" 14 days later I made my first $150! 30 days after that I made my first $1k! Now, I just hit my first $10k month in the online economy. All the pain, all the suffering, all the stress, uncertainty, and anxiety was worth it. Anyways, This was my take on an introduction post. If you read this far thank you! And I am looking forward to getting to know you all a little better inside here! - Aidan LaBreche
