The Secret To Success - an eye-opening story 2023
most of you probably don't know who I am because I intend for this video to go viral and in this video, I'm going to tell all of you guys about exactly how I went from a thousand dollars to 8 million now keep in mind my parents are from a communist country they're from Romania they moved here in very little income we grew up in detroit with her and my three older siblings live in a two-bedroom apartment in a pretty ghetto area not being able to afford much obviously so that's the starting point to now I'm 23 years old I have my dream car my audi r8 v10 plus completely paid off my truck completely paid off I'm building my dream house it's a three million dollar house that's completely taken care of and done I have a seven figure company a google ads agency actually which I made another video on and I don't know if this is stupid but like i fly first class everywhere like I travel a lot I'm able to spend a lot of money and just do really cool things like buy watches and stuff I paid off my mom's car I bought my family a trip to hawaii and so it's great it's been fun and the journey from where I started to where I am now was an incredible journey and I'm so excited to tell you guys about it let's just get into it I just wanted to give you guys an update so it all started in like 2005 and 2006.
I had this idea that poisoned my mind and it was this idea that I needed to be wealthy this was given and programmed to me throughout my childhood because I would constantly hear my mom say over and over and over again nu even bon which is we don't have money in Romanian new open oven bound so as it haunted me and I noticed that a lot of the times growing up like kids would ask me why I don't have cooler shoes or different clothes and it would be because we didn't have money and I remember like I couldn't even afford when I went out with my friends my mom couldn't give me money and I couldn't buy food and they just looked at me weird so there was a lot of embarrassment associated
with the fact that we didn't have money growing up and so I wanted to fit in and I wanted to be a normal person a normal kid like any kid does so from a very young age I wanted to be wealthy I wanted to make a lot of money because I understood the pain that it caused me and I saw what normal I guess was like that's when it started that's where it came from I remember one time a couple of years later I was actually in sixth grade or seventh grade and the electricity in my house went out my mom couldn't afford the electricity bill and like I understood what was going on at the time but since we didn't have electricity I couldn't use the stove to cook the food you know before school so I actually lit up a candle and fried an egg on the candle which took forever and it didn't really work out and I think I ended up throwing it away anyway
but it was just something that stood out and I remembered I was like damn like I can't even fry an egg like this sucks so yeah that's one story that stands out a lot to me and it's a story that some of my like og fans might know but I wanted to bring that up again because I think that's a good staple in my childhood from there to here it's great like it's cool i remember at some point during that age I wanted to become a neurosurgeon because neurosurgeons make a lot of money and they help people I remember reading that they make like 350 000 400 000 a year which at the time seemed like quite a lot of money so that's what I was going to do forever I actually ended up up drawing art about it and really getting into it I had made a decision that eventually since I'm gonna have to pay for my own college I'm gonna have to be a nurse and then I'm gonna save money pay off my debt and then eventually put myself through med school and then go and become a neurosurgeon so that was my plan from before I was even in high school now fast forward a few years I go to high school I go through puberty and whatever make some friends and I get my first job at taco bell and kfc I start making about what is it like 8.25 an hour or something like that I remember my first paycheck was 90 and I was like damn like I can go and buy a shirt from vans, i can go and like buy new shoes like it were incredible such a good feeling so I got my first taste of money my first lick of it at taco bell and I was like I want more of this I didn't work there for a very long and I heard about a car wash job where people get paid a lot in tips so it's the same hourly but you get tips every day so I went to the car wash I started vacuuming my life away making like I think it was eight or nine dollars an hour and then, every day in tips to make better money there I did that for some time I was continuing to save up and grind and then I went and got a sales job like an auto glass sales drop at the car wash so I was selling people's windshield and now at this time I was making like about three to five hundred dollars per week so I was still doing pretty good for my age I was still in high school at this time but I was saving up everything and trying to build up as much money as possible my only goal was to get a grip so I could show off to all my friends and that's eventually what I did end up buying so I was very proud of myself that I was able to get that car in high school and I was definitely like you know like kind of a cool kid because you know the gaps so I suppose that's where like my love of attention I suppose that's where it comes from any way I started saving enough money and then eventually I had enough to flip cars now just a quick thing I'm skipping a lot of stories like I sold muffins at school I flipped go-karts I worked a caregiving job as well but I'm just skipping those they aren't as interesting anyway fast forward I started flipping cars so I actually had nine cars by the time I was 19.
I was doing pretty decent with that now here's a checkpoint in my life this is like the introduction to my life right before everything starts to get crazy right so at this time in my life I probably had between like five to ten thousand dollars to my name I had a tiny tiny tiny bit of experience making money and I was just about to discover drop shipping and real estate and all that stuff I was just about to get into that world that realm so I go home and I run into gram stefan on youtube so graham stefan is a real estate agent he sells homes saves the money buys rental properties rent them out and collects passive income and I was like yo I want to do that I don't want to work I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want and be rich like that's what I want that's what everybody wants right so I discovered that and I was like
I'm gonna be a real estate agent like a pause on med school straight up the real estate so after i made my decision I dropped out of college which I had enrolled in two weeks prior now I go to real estate school and I'm like yo when I'm not selling a house how am I gonna make money in the meantime so I go online and i'm like how to make money online boom discover drop shipping drop shipping just started getting popular at the time and I was like all right bet I'm going to try drop shipping long story short my first store doesn't work but I ended up finding some smaller YouTubers that give me great advice and I start my first drop shipping store and that store actually turns out and makes me about 35 000 in revenue so I'm like damn this is dope I'm gonna do it again but instead of Instagram influencers I'm gonna do Facebook ads so I start more stores and I'm running them on Facebook on Instagram doing everything that I can learning as much as I can and making a lot of money I remember this was the point in time when I was working as a caregiver and also drop shipping and also doing like real estate and I was like okay drop shipping is doing well I remember like my first 400 a day and my first 1k day and my first 2k day and then eventually I quit care giving and then eventually I quit real estate and went full time into drop shipping so I was doing drop shipping for some time making some good money there and then I posted my first article what is going on guys my name is sebastian and today I'm going to show you how I generated income in one day and only my second week of shopify because I left a comment on thaddeus's video and I was like yo this video was super helpful thank you I just made like 10 000 because of this and people were like liking it and being like yo who are you how'd you do this because everyone was curious about drop shipping so I was like okay well maybe I can help some more people anyway I make a youtube channel and I tell people to come subscribe and they do and I start growing on youtube so youtube is growing very like linearly very slowly and then i post my first viral video of how i made 991 dollars in 14 hours and for some reason that video popped up it was ranked number one for shopify for a long time a lot of people saw it and I got like 3 400 000 views and it like became the backbone of my channel so i started making money off ad revenue istarted making money off affiliate deals and then eventually I got the idea to make my first course and teach people the preliminary stages of how to dropship and everything that I've learned up to this point and put it together in one horse for 300 bucks so I did that I remember when I launched the course and I told everyone about it I was like you know it's probably gonna get like 10 sales or like five sales or something the first day I launched it as I launched at 8 pm and then I was just driving with my friend like looking at really cool houses like just manifesting which ironically we were trying to get into the neighborhood that i'm building my house in right now that's crazy I just that just realized that during that night we were trying to get into that neighborhood and now I have a home there any way i got a sale and then I got another sale and then I got another sale and I ended up making like 1500 pure profit so I was like damn like this is crazy I'm making decent money for my age I was like this is cool i kept on growing my youtube channel kept on getting ad revenue kept on drop shipping kept on doing everything and just my income started going more and more and more and more and more now fast forward to about 19 years old my net worth at this point is about 70 to 80 000 that's what I have saved and this is where everything my life starts changing because now i'm making good money and I'm able to like go out and do anything I want and travel and spend money so naturally what a 19 Year-old boy is going to do when you give him money is he's going to buy a gtr so I bought my dream car which is a nissan gtr and it was like my first trophy my first like a staple of success in my life I continued to work on my stores I continued to grow on my youtube channel and everything was great and I did this for some time until I like got like 120 130 150k in my bank saved up just continuing to hustle and I got really comfortable I was just chill I was like okay well now what do I do fast forward some time because at this point in my life I was unhealthy i was out of shape I got comfortable I'm like i think am 21 years old at this time and I decide after taking a break from drop shipping to get back into drop shipping for real like to take it more seriously than I ever have to create a legitimate brand now I have funding i have more money to play with so like I can afford to spend more money on research and development and creation like a really good brand so that's what I do when you guys saw that video of how I made 36k in a day those were the stories that I was running at the time they were generating like 10 000 a day it was amazing like I was making a lot of money from drop shipping was really fun and I really enjoyed it and that was my biggest story to date, at this time I also took a break from youtube because I felt a lack of privacy in my life so I was just focusing on drop shipping after that unhealthy phase of my life I started going to the gym and started losing weight and
becoming more healthy if you've watched my channel for a long time you've probably seen videos of like me like aging in reverse because I was getting healthier and healthier and losing weight that was that period of my life from like 20 to 21 years old now at this point in my life my net worth was like between a couple of hundred grand half a million dollars of some sort it was somewhere in there, i don't remember exactly this was another checkpoint in my life the end of 21 years old was cool it's a good time and then we all know what happened but a disease came across the world, my least was up at the house I broke up with my girlfriend that and I was awake from 5 am till 6 30 a.m and I watched everything just crumble and I watched my position go from 30 000 profit to like 75 000 profit or something like that and I closed it out and I was like damn I was due I just made like forty thousand dollars at six a.m so what's going on I started investing in a bunch of other coins I turned a thirty thousand dollar investment into 600k I got really into that world I bought some new cars so I bought a range rover and then that was a piece of crap so I ended up buying a Porsche 911 and I got rid of the GTR because I wanted to change my identity I wanted to become a new person at this point in my life I don't know what my net worth was but I was certainly doing very very well and I was just like damn like life's good like at this point life is just good and as you make more money like it's easier to make even more money it's very exponential to very like money compounds so it was interesting to like be 22 and now I can really do whatever I want to do this was a very good time in my life when I started to transform this is the next checkpoint and then the next phase of my life is the current phase that I'm in and it's the most exciting phase so now we are here my friend got me into nets I started flipping nets I started trading nets I made videos about nets I started advising on some projects I got into the net world and I was continuing in the crypto world staking doing all these things my agency was doing amazing and I was investing and it was doing amazing and it seemed like just everything everything was doing well youtube was growing a lot I was doing more sponsorships on youtube so I'm just making like a lot of money right now this was months ago so this led me directly to where I'm at now which is i'm 23 I bought my dream car which is ra you know I dropped 176 000 on it just cash I bought my truck I completely funded my entire house it's completely done and paid for now I just have to pay the mortgage but that whole process has started and so on now we're here and it's.
I don't know what the net worth is like I said eight million in the title I don't know what it is it probably fluctuates a lot every single day but it's between six and eight million it's something like that using a higher number because click bait so life's good we're doing well and the future looks extremely promising I'm very excited but yeah that's basically my story and that's kind of like step by step how I did it I started a lot of businesses I tried a lot of things I tried investing I failed along the way I got sued at one point I got scammed for 30 grand at one point so many failures in those years but overall we kept pushing we kept persisting and now we have an amazing trajectory and I'm super super excited for the future and like I said I'm making this video for new people because my channel right now is growing exponentially i just want everybody new to my channel to you know I want to shake their hand and say hello my name is sebastian this is who I am this is what I've done and welcome to my channel I hope you stick around because I think that I'm going to do some incredible things in my life and i want to be a source of light a source of inspiration for anybody that thinks that they can't do it because I certainly felt the same way I think that by putting this kind of content out on the internet I can maybe get through to some people like think as i do that have that feeling that they want to get wealthy and that they're like embarrassed for some reason because they don't have money or they want to fit in and they feel and they believe like they can do it if I can get through at least a few people and get them to change their lives and they end up making something amazing that would be worth it for me and I don't want it to seem like I'm bragging about anything i'm not I'm very chill filming this article i'm just telling you exactly what it is I you know I don't have a course I shut that down many years ago I don't have anything to sell you if you have a business making you know 50 000 a month and you need google ads please hit me up we can make some money together there but I'm not going to make any money off this is except for the ad revenue so it's like this is just me this is who I am and I'm putting this out on the internet for everyone to see so yeah that's it it's been a pleasure meeting all of you if you see me in person say what's up and I will see you guys on my next article peace
