Yesterday, I told you about my very first sale. What I didn't tell you is how TERRIFIED I was to start charging for my material. I never thought I'd build a real business from the blog I started in my dorm room at Stanford.
Here's a little-known piece of history about my site. It started as in-person finance classes that nobody attended.
I'm sharing this with you today because I want to strip away the BS that so many others try to sell you -- as if they have some magical formula -- and show you what I had to go through to make it to this level.
Think of it like this:
Someone's going to do it. Why should it be someone else? Why shouldn't it be you?
This stuff isn't rocket science. But you do have to put aside those barriers in your head -- the ones telling you, "You can't do this...you don't have an idea...you're not an 'entrepreneur'...why would anybody listen to you...you know NOTHING about business!"
I did it. Thousands of my students have done it. Now it's your turn.
So, today I'm going to talk honestly about how I pushed through the darkness to start a business -- then scaled it to 30,000+ customers -- showing you the warts, mistakes, successes, and all.
