What's up my STACKERS!
It's a Sunday Morning in Las Vegas and I decided to go through some old stuff that I had for many years, and look what I found, a throwback pic! 😊
This was me in 1997 working at MCI WORLDCOM cold calling people selling them long distance (yes, we had to pay extra for calling people out of state back then! lol), do you even remember those days? 🤣
It was the good ole days when minimum wage was $5.25, damn times sure has changed! I remembered it was also the year I found the internet, Yeah Yeah... it was when AOL was famous and we all had dial up modems. 😳
While working at MCI, I decided that enough was enough and that I was built a different way. I just knew the Internet was the future so I decided to quit my job to focus making a living online starting with couple hundreds bucks that I saved up. 👨🏼💻
Yeah I was scared as hell... 20 years old with nothing but I had to take a chance. I remember reading a Jim Rohn book that year and he stated that change must happen now or you will be stuck for the rest of your life.
Remember, I was a broke growing up living in a shack... yeah this was my house listed below... 1000 SQ of true poverty (from 1995-2001) but that didn't stop me. 🏚️
So what I'm am trying to say, it was 1000X times harder to make money 20 years ago online than today... we didn't have any social media, cell phones, websites etc... etc...
Regardless of a persons situation, if you want it bad enough... anyone can make it happen. It doesn't take money to make money, it takes patience and courage.
So we all should be grateful that we have Steemit, a new platform that we all can "Make It Happen" if we do our best and never quit.
So with that being said, I hope this post motivates and inspires you that "You can make it happen" with tons of drive and effort. 💁🏼♂️
Have an awesome Sunday Steemians! 💞
