- A Million-Dollar Brand On a Ramen Noodle Budget?
A Million-Dollar Brand On a Ramen Noodle Budget?
The first big hurdle in my creator journey was learning how to grow my following.
But a bigger problem quickly arose:
I didn’t know how to monetize.
So after about a year on Twitter, my followers were growing but my bank account was still shrinking.
I was surviving on Ramen noodles (and going months without pineapple pizza).
That’s when I knew something had to change.
So I made a financial decision some would call crazy:
With only $8,000 left in my bank account, I invested $6000 to be coached by Dan Koe.
(This is what I call ‘tactical anxiety’, which can be created by putting a limit on time…or money…or both).
And damn did it ever work. Within 28 days of launching my ghostwriting offer I was at $11,000/month.
Within 8 months of launching my offer I hit $50,000/month.
Now let me ask you…
Which is crazier:
Going $100K into debt for a college degree that isn’t even guaranteed to get you a job?
Or dropping $6000 to build a $50,000/month business?
And here’s the thing:
Even though it was scary investing that much money at one time…and not being 100% certain it was going to work…
It wasn’t nearly as scary as continuing to work dead-end jobs I hated while completely squandering my potential.
That’s something I just couldn’t live with.
And that’s why I’m grateful I chose a different path.
Fast forward 3 years, and I’ve got a plug-and-play system that has grown my brand to 500K+ followers on social media and helped me hit $100K+ months.
I’m going to reveal how you can do the same in my new community, Full Stack Creator, launching on October 1st.
Your Canadian friend,
Dakota “Pineapple” Robertson
