Tristan's Path to Financial Freedom

bro said he's 17 I made $130,000 in profit since December and first off congratulations you are 17 you made your first six figures you are Miles Ahead of almost everybody else at your age what if I told you I was that kid imagine you walk into High School you do your English homework and the kid literally sitting beside you just made $333,000 a month but 4 months prior lost over $50,000 this is my 0 to $180,000 journey in less than a year it all started my junior year I lost 50 to $660,000 in nfts in crypto and realistically whatever I earned was gone you could have an average 16-year-old and majority of them don't even have $2 to5 $10,000 to their name meanwhile I lost over 50 to $60,000 in crypto I was demotivated and realistically it if the person sitting here watching this right now let me ask you a question if you lost $50 to $60,000 what would that do to you mentally emotionally cuz for me I was stuck I didn't know what to do I wanted to make money again but every time I checked my bank account I was literally stuck so the start of my senior year I wanted to make money again but the thing is I didn't have a job I lost everything and I had no motivation I realistically was lost I wasn't making any money I wasn't really doing anything with my life and like majority of you watching this video I wanted to sit here and I wanted to start making money online but I didn't know how I didn't want to spend $2,000 $5,000 on a course especially if I just lost $50 to $60,000 the last thing I wanted to do was spend money I wanted to start with 0 so what I actually did and probably what you don't want to hear is I got a job but getting a job was probably the best thing I could have ever done now you're probably sitting here saying Tristan getting a job that's not going to get you rich no but what it will do is it helped me build discipline throughout my years it allowed me to sit here and I made a bet with myself there's no calling in sick I'm going to make sure I'm on time and I'm doing everything with 110% now what that did is when I got this job day after day I was working to 12 hours I was going to school I was trying to launch a business and realistically I started to learn how to handle stress how to make money and build discipline but let's not forget I lost $50 to $60,000 I could have all the discipline in the world but in the back of my mind I was still hurting from losing that amount of money my schedule was pretty packed I would wake up at around 5:30 a.m. go to the gym from 6:00 till 7:00 school from 9: till 3:30 and work from 4:00 to 11:30 at night realistically sleeping 3 to 5 hours per night and that's not healthy so one day I started to look into multiple online businesses your typical Drop Shipping Ecommerce social media marketing training now for me I decided I'm going to start a social media marketing agency you sit there you cold call you learn how to talk to people and guess what you can make a lot of money like that I realistically thought I found the old mine soon I found out my first booked meeting the dude didn't even respond to me I was unprofessional and I was just another 16-year-old sitting here trying to make some money and I was quick to learn that this business model was not for me meanwhile I had a lot of experience managing Instagram Tik Tok accounts and understanding how these social media platforms work so I was thinking what other business model needs this the answer was e-commerce and job shipping now you're probably sitting here saying Tristan Drop Shipping doesn't work this or that it was around winter time it was around October to November I was sitting here and I was like it's pretty cold and maybe I can capitalize on this if it's winter and it's snowing why not sell a heat a jacket so I did I launched my first store with one of my good friends I was essentially head of marketing I was helping him Market Video ideas and I was sitting there helping him generate traction and I was quick to find out we went viral it was one of my first YouTube videos I actually posted on this channel how I made over $11,000 in the span of like a day or a couple of days and we literally went viral it showed us that we could make a lot of money and we did we made a decent amount of money $7,700 in a day $3,300 in a day and $2,300 in the span of 2 days and essentially I sold one of my brands for $10,600 profit which allowed me to buy this this stupid purchase this $1,400 ring which I don't even use yeah it was pretty stupid so I just made $10,000 December 1st my life actually to be honest changed I sat here and I literally remember to this day my cooking teacher was yelling at me Tristan put your computer down and I literally made her weekly or monthly salary in the span of 5 minutes five minutes and I'm the type of dude where I was just humble this kid beside me was like Tristan are you really G to let her talk to you like that and I sat there and I was like you know what who knows maybe this is just a one in a blue moon or maybe this is the start of a journey and it well it was from there on out I knew my life changed I knew that for making $10,000 in a day I could not go back I could not just sit there and go work for minimum wage or sit there and slave away I knew that this was the moment that God God presented an opportunity to me and I had to sit here and I had to act fast so after making $10,000 I looked around and think of it as this if you're walking around school majority of you guys have Snapchat and meanwhile I was posting this all over my story I had countless messages of people saying Tristan how did you do this Tristan how are you making money so I decided you know what I'm going to start posting on social media I'm going to start taking Tik Tok and Instagram seriously and I did this allowed me to message people such as Nathan Nazareth twer and even get a response from the man Jordan Welsh and meanwhile while growing these social platforms I went from 1,000 to 20 to 50,000 followers in the span of a couple months now you're probably sitting here saying okay but followers are followers what did that actually get you well it got me a lot of collaborations Affiliates it allowed me to network with likeminded individuals it actually allowed me to build business that I don't even talk about that still make me money till this day sleepless nights 60-hour work weeks and I decided to finally quit my job Tada I quit my job to me that was the biggest Milestone I went from over $50,000 lost to making at this moment in time around $60 to $100,000 and profit I made all my money back I had an ongoing business and my Instagram and Tik Tok was popping I remember the day I quit my manager called me and said Tristan is this the right decision you're making and I thought to myself if the goal at the end of the day is to get rich sitting there chefing it up cooking up some burgers am I really going to get rich that way the answer is no if I had a business social media YouTube and I had things going well for me why would I sit there and jeopardize that just so I can flip a quick burger for Jeffrey no I quit my job I said you know what you only live once I'm 17 years old and I took the risk so I quit my job when I tell you I've never felt more free in my life that's an understatement I would go to school I'd work on my business and I'd go to the gym and I'd make money I was making anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per day I was hitting numbers like I've never imagined I was hitting 2K days 3K days and yes I'll be honest with you there were days where I wasn't making any money that's business people who sit here and sell you a lifestyle it's [ __ ] there are days and I'll tell you this right now where I quit my job and I was making no money for a week for 2 weeks sometimes my store wasn't doing well sometimes my other business wasn't doing well sometimes my social media I was getting no views sometimes my Instagram messages got disabled and I couldn't answer back people whatever it is that's life that's business and anybody who sits here and tells you you can make 10K right now or this month it's [ __ ] it's [ __ ] I'm kind of getting off track but I just want to let you guys know that first of all it's possible you see me talking to you right now and I've done it all but people who sit here and only sell you the upside they're lying to you because at the end of the day when you run a business [ __ ] goes south quick and when it goes south it's up to you to decide how it goes so while growing my social media account accounts sitting here posting about my journey I open up two new businesses one I open my mentorship a lot of people will sit here and lie to you and say hey you know I don't make money on my course or my mentorship I will never sell a course but I will sell a mentorship do you ever sit there and scroll on Tik Tok Instagram and you see these Shopify apps telling you buy this product at this amount sell it for this amount or even a store tracker do you ever see those well I'm probably running Those ads I'm probably probably in fact running those accounts I get paid for that now you're probably sitting here and saying Tristan but that has nothing to do with a Drop Shipping business but that is what you call leveraging social media the reason why I'm able to get these jobs or I'm able to even do this is because of my social media it allowed me to connect with people generate them results when I generate them results we build a longterm relationship ultimately allowing me to work for them making them money making me money and both parties are happy still making good money I graduated high school and it was the time to decide do I go to college or do I not I graduated high school while making upwards of $180,000 I was essentially the man imagine this you see a dude walking through high school he goes to the gym he posts screenshots of him making $3 to $5,000 in a day $10,000 in a day well that was me and before I knew it those days days came to an end I graduated high school at the age of 17 in 2023 and majority of you guys are sitting here saying you know what Tristan what's next are you in college are you in University what are you doing and to be honest with you right now I'm making money I'm building businesses and realistically I don't see the need right now now I'm not against going to school or working a job but I think that at a young age if you sit here like me you prioritize making money building those skills to sit here and set you up going to University or college straight away could be hurting you last month let's say I made $133,000 if I were to go to college University I would sit here and I would chop that income almost in half probably more right so for me right now I don't think it's a good time now you're probably sitting here saying Tristan so if you made all this money where's your Lamborghini where's your car where's this and to be honest with you I'll tell you right now I literally just got my license exactly 3 weeks ago now you're probably sitting here and saying Tristan that's kind of embarrassing why well to be honest I have a theory when you're young your money is essentially worth five more times you see somebody like myself I live at home of course I pay rent and of course I pay for my own stuff my food my groceries my clothes my internet because sure I'm making good money but think of it as this right now per month you could say I'm making anywhere from10 to $30,000 per month if you are saving 10 to 20 to $30 per month at the age of 17 you are in the 1% because you don't have a family you don't have kids you don't have a mortgage you don't have a car now in order for somebody let's say above the age of 20 to save $10 to $30,000 per month they're going to need to make at least $30 to $60,000 now for me for me to only save $8 to1 to $15,000 a month I realistically only have to make that amount because I don't have any expenses but in order for somebody in the corporate world they're going to need to make 5 to six times the amount of money that I make so realistically for me right now maybe in a year I'll buy a car the area that I live in all I do is I go to the gym I work out I make money and I work from home for me right now life is good probably in a year it'll be time to get a car and I'll tell you guys this listen the one thing I don't want to end up like is I had this one friend this guy had a clothing brand this guy made over six figures with this clothing brand and I remember to this day I would sit there in school with this guy and this guy would buy all the fancy designer the nice shoes and there was me I'll be honest with you I was making probably 5 to 10x what he was making but guess what he's broke he spent all of his money on things to impress other people to sit there that he didn't really need and now this guy doesn't even have $10,000 to his name and then there's me with a sixf figure net worth with no car with absolutely nothing but with a brain with money at a young age the last thing you should be doing is spending your money stupidly because who knows that business you might want to start might never start because you're too busy buying stupid things to impress other people that is the last thing I want to do with my life and to be honest you'll never see me doing that because at the end of the day I'm so focused on building things that the last thing I really worry about is impressing other people I live one life my goal supposed to retire my parents make a lot of money and live a happy life so to end this off this is my fourth video on this channel now I'm 17 I turned 18 in 19 days I made over $180,000 now if you made it this far into this video listen to this if it was really that easy anybody would do it when I first started I promis myself one thing and this one thing right here could probably change your life make sure you do whether that's working a job working out greeting somebody having a conversation working on your business make sure you do it with 110% no matter what it is because once you do that you realize what you can actually do if you try your best and essentially how far you can get my name is Tristan Robinson I have a six-figure net worth at the age of 17 and to be honest I'm trying to touch seven figures now if I'm going to sit here and be honest with you it's not going to be easy to get to where I'm at now I'm extremely grateful and I'm sitting here and I'm being honest with you it was not easy and the reason why I made this video is to actually sit here as a person and have a conversation with you explain that making money is just solving problems it is easier than you think so let me ask you 2024 is here in less than a month I changed my life in less than a year I got jacked I made a lot of money and yeah I made a couple stupid decisions in my life here and there but at the end of the day I made progress so let me ask you are you going to make it happen this 2024 or you going to sit here and waste another year if you like this video subscribe like comment you can always message me on Instagram if you need any help or you want to start or you just want to learn a little bit more and have a conversation with an entrepreneur like myself I catch you guys next time peace
