In February of 2020, I was studying in college during the height of the pandemic.Â
At the time, I was also working a full-time job, just trying to pay off my student loans and my credit card debt.
As you can imagine, my days were PACKED back-to-back.
I had basically zero free time to myself and I was exhausted by the end of each day - both physically and mentally.Â
But, this was the path I was told was going to lead my wealth and financial freedom, so I stuck with it.
That was until, one day I opened up my Capital One bank account and saw that after getting my paycheck and paying my rent, my utilities, and my credit card bill, I was left with $50 in my checking account and STILL had $1300 in credit card debt.
Despite working myself to exhaustion 16 hours a day, despite following the path that society, my teachers, my parents had told me was the path to “success - I was slowly accumulating a pile of debt I realized that (if I did not change something soon) I was NEVER going to be able to escape from…
And, as if things couldn’t get worse, that job ended up laying me off at the end of the month, leaving me without ANY way to provide for myself.
This point was my rock bottom.Â
I wondered what had gone wrong to bring me to this point…Â
I felt like I had done the things I was “supposed” to do, but nothing seemed to be working out.
Most importantly, I wondered how the people I saw on social media were living lives of actual freedom...
...traveling around the world...
...working on their own schedule...Â
...seemingly without a care in the world for their finances...
...despite them not seeming any more hard working or different than me…
If anything, it actually seemed like they were working LESS than me.
How is that possible - that I could be working so hard but seeing such little returns?
I was desperately after what they had - and what you’re likely after as well… what I call “digital freedom”.
The ability to make money without trading my time for it...
The ability to make money from my phone or my laptop, without having to go into an office…
The ability to have uncapped potential in my income, so I could get paid what I felt my hard work was worth…
To be able to earn no matter what’s going on in the world or the economy…
And to do so from anywhere in the world - whether it was from my couch or on a beach in Hawaii or while exploring the coasts of Europe…
