Ten chapters of failures, small wins, and everything that got me here.
- 01
$100K/mo
The goal.
That’s the number I’m chasing. Enough to buy back my time, give the people I love an incredible life, and eventually buy the Ferrari I wanted as a kid.
- 02
I was 17 when this whole thing started.
At 17, I moved to the US and discovered the whole make-money-online world. I started Instagram pages for everything from fashion to fitness. None lasted long enough to become anything.
- 03
$150 → $300
My first money online.
During COVID I built a home-gym dropshipping store. It actually worked. Then I got scared, hit problems I did not know how to solve, and shut it down.
- 04
21 for 21
Every US college said no.
I wanted to go back to America. Instead, I ended up in Barcelona, got a scholarship, and immediately tried another business.
Zodiac mugs. Sales: $0.
- 05
400+
Videos almost nobody watched.
I made more than 400 YouTube Shorts over two years and reached about 750 subscribers.
Eventually I realized something painful: nobody really wants business advice from someone who has not built a business yet.
- 06
$3,000 → $400
The expensive lesson.
I turned an idea from my university thesis into a real store and spent around $3,000 trying to make it work.
Revenue: about $400.
More money did not make up for the skills I was missing.

The thing I was never good at.
Ideas were easy. Improving things was easy. Criticizing things was definitely easy.
But taking something from nothing and actually building it? That was always the weakness.
- 08
6 years
One spreadsheet changed everything.
I had tracked my workouts in spreadsheets for six years. Then I used AI to turn the system in my head into my first real app.
For the first time, I could actually build the things I imagined.
- 09
5+
Then I kept building.
Workout apps. Finance tools. Widgets. Calculators. Random experiments.
Some useful. Some probably pointless.
But each one makes me a little better at turning ideas into real products.

Now
Still figuring it out.
Years of failed businesses. Hundreds of videos. Thousands of dollars burned.
I still haven’t reached $100K a month. Right now I’m building apps to get there, and tomorrow I might pursue a completely different idea, but the goal stays the same.
