In 2020, I got a mentor.

At 27, he was everything I wanted to be. He owned his own accounting firm, worked at his schedule and pace whenever he wanted, and had the financial freedom that anyone his age would dream of.

I was 22, had an 8–5 office job that I hated, and was eager for a change. Mainly, I wanted to be able to make money doing something I loved and not have to be in front of a computer for 8 or 9 hours a day to be able to live.

For this reason, I began to let him guide me.

Thanks to him, I started looking for ways to earn money passively. I started creating my own personal brand, and I decided to start writing and trying to make money online.

One of his mantras was to set limits on how much he would work on a project.

“If I don’t make six figures with day trading in two years, I’ll give up and find something else to do.” “If this business doesn’t start generating income in 6 months, I’ll abandon it and do something else.” “If the third book doesn’t go viral, I’m going to stop writing forever.”
