@realimangadzhi: I dropped out of school at 17. Signed some clients, lost half of them and had to sit with the fact that it was my own fault. I was staying up till 3am grinding out content, filming shoots in Amsterdam, signing contracts, hiring my first employee. All while most people my age were picking GCSE options. Then I got complacent, stopped staying sharp and got punished for it. But I didn't blame the market or the clients. I just accepted it was on me and went back to work. A few months later I was signing the papers on a $5K/month apartment by myself. Not because I was lucky but because I already knew what losing felt like and decided it wasn't going to define me. This was 2017. I was still figuring it all out. Honestly, I still am.
