Have you ever restart from zero & how did you do it
Only chance from zero is some kind of airdrop etc
Do the same thing you did before the last zero. However this time you'll be wiser, better, and will make better decisions.
I moved to a different country which kind of forced me to get my shit together and work towards income > savings > investments > owning a business. In the country I came from I had a huge mountain of debt. That mountain of debt originated from college time, the first time I tried to start over; moved out my parents house with almost nothing to my name and raked up credit in the hopes a college education would get me somewhere right after graduation (spoiler: it didn't)
Came back from being a junkie by starting to walk a little bit further each day and compounding growth into other areas while weaning of addictive behaviour. I just made a decision to consciously destroy any negative thought and allow myself grace for failures. Life is really just incremental gains and I’ve made it further in 3 years than I did in the previous 27. It’s never too late to live.
Yes a few years ago, i lost my job and i had no savings.
My lowest point was surviving off a pack of raw carrots for a few days that i bought with money i found under my dads couch.
How i got back on my feet was looking for a new job day in and out, i eventually found one and was homeless when i started the job until i saved money to move in somewhere, it was fucking hard but it was also the best thing that ever happened to me because my life is so much better now than before i hit rock bottom as you can mould your new life to as you see fit, just focus on the positives of the situation
how did you deal with old friends & People who knew you when you was up
I destroyed my life because of addiction a couple times from my late teens to 26. I learn more every time and you just keep moving forward. I went to school this time started my own business got involved in AA and everything's looking bright. Struggles and hard times in life can be an advantage based on what you do with it I have experience and maturity most my age don't because I've been tested in the fires of he'll and made it back.

5 years ago I lost my job due to a drug policy, in the fucking UK (weed by the way) I wouldn't say I hit rock bottom as I still had a house. My girlfriend provided for me for 6 months while I lived as a NEET and got a business plan together. The 6 months after launching my company I didn't take a penny, the next 6 months I lived on £100 a week. The year after I barely took home £150 a week. Fast forward to today, I employ 3 other people and my company turned over £1.1 million last year and is set to turn over £1.9 million this year.
I would not say I am above average intelligence, I just work hard. There's no secret to success just blood, sweat, tears and perseverance, don't fucking give up.
> what type of company
Oh, and to return the favour to my girlfriend, I am supporting her financially as she quit her job to start her own business.
If you can help it, don't wagecuck. Earning money off your own back is incredibly satisfying and will give you a huge confidence boost.
Went from 0 to 0.45 btc, does that count?
Scrap metal (no joke). I own a small/medium facility and mostly buy off companies who produce metal as a waste by-product as well as tradesmen, plumbers, electricians etc.
During the first 2 years I had to deal with gypsies every fucking day, they are truly parasitic and cause misery wherever they go.
i faked my own death and moved to a 3rd world country
Got any tips on a scrap metal business?
If I had to write a small list it would go as follows, in order of importance:
Attitude - This game has a horrible image and attitude problem. Manners go a long way.
Prices - I generally work on a much tighter profit margin than my competitors. Good prices will advertise for you and word of mouth is huge in this industry, happy customers will pass on the word as tradesmen talk like old women. I might not have huge margins but I work on large volume which also allows me to draw better tonnage price to the end users (refineries and export)
Location - This is an obvious one, you need to be fairly easily accessible. Being near builders and plumbers merchants in a huge advantage as tradesmen can kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
Speed - No one wants to go to a scrap yard, getting customers in and out as quick as possible is vital.
Congratulations on your success so far. You mentioned the profit margins are tight though, how much of the £1.1m revenue was actual profit?
Work for a year. Save everything I can. Put all my savings in Crypto.
I just didn't speak to any friends or family much, i just fell off the map. The only thing that mattered was finding a job and somewhere to live and i only spoke to people who could help me get there.
Mostof my old friends i don't speak to anymore but in hard times you will know who your true friends are, and it turned out i didn't have many but the positive is that they are now out of my life.
I manager to get nice cash from zero. Got "hired" as discord server manager/moderator/community manager and got 0.5 eth for it. Then I multipled it to over 6 eth on ethereum pyramids like powh and clones.
I consider my business to be in its early days still but I thank you. I am by no means successful but I make my own way in life and I have afforded myself a few nice things.
After all overheads and wages were paid I was looking at ~5% net profit. As a general rule I try to work on ~15% margin when buying material depending on the type of customer, sometimes you have to pay more sometimes you can earn a bit more yourself.
As the old saying goes, turnover is vanity, profit is sanity.
Sounds like you're very successful based on living life on your own terms, really great job on making it to where you are today. How much do you pay yourself as a wage from the business if you don't mind me asking?
Kudos on putting up with the gypsies by the way, did you eventually refuse to deal with them after the first 2 years, or delegate that to your staff? Ever had one try to rip you off, or worse?
