I consider myself unlucky.
I Failed Almost Everything I've Tried.
🚫failed to complete my degree.
🚫failed 13 out of my 15 angel investments.
🚫failed all my b2c startups.
🚫failed at over 10 finals (judo, football, and ping-pong).
🚫failed at crypt0 (hackers stole all my assets).
🚫failed fisherman saas.
🚫failed classified marketplace startup.
🚫failed feedback stands for malls.
🚫failed travel app.
🚫failed business admin platform.
🚫failed an agency.
🚫failed all my investments.
🚫failed most relationships.
🚫failed a movie app.
🚫failed an icon-searching portal.
🚫failed all my mobile apps.
🚫failed 100 more things, startups, ideas, hopes & dreams.
Was I lucky on the way?
Sometimes, but nothing remarkable.
Today I live the live I want
- i have a wife and many kids
- living in a village growing food and working in the garden
- working from home
- no meetings
- no bosses
- I decide what I wanna do with every minute of my life
- I have enough financial freedom to pursue my dreams
- I haven't had any significant events; I simply done lots of small things that led to a compound effect both on my wealth and network.
The advice I'd give to anyone who asks: life isn't like a movie. In life you just keep working for decades and slowly grow your wealth, network, skillset.
It's a long-term game; you must enjoy the journey more than the destination. Otherwise, you'll be walking the road being depressed, and in this case, the chances of winning at the end are very low.
Keep it up, do small things every day, and enjoy the ride.
