If you ask me for advice on how to succeed, I have no clue.I failed at everything I tried in my life.I started several projects. All failed.My goal was to become free—traveling, writing, be a digital nomad, take pictures, enjoy life around beautiful people, be popular. José León, the cool guy with an amazing lifestyle.None of that happened. But I became José León, the fat guy.I had a couple of girlfriends. They left me because I was working all day. I didn’t travel, not much.I wanted to create something great, like Mark Zuckerberg —Why did I watch that movie? I was spending all my time trying to create the next Facebook, Airbnb... you know.And you may think that I learned from my experiences. Nop. I did it again. And again. And again. Every time I had a new idea —is still happening, help!— and I thought: this is THE IDEA, this is the one that will change everything.Never happened.Let me explain to you how I did:Get a job as a developer.Save around $10KSpend between six months and a year codingTest itZero resultsCryRepeatI can’t even remember how many times I did the same. But I know one thing. It was a disaster.I was lucky enough to have a well-paid skill in programming, so It was easy for me to find a new job —almost, I had some nightmares there too— but I never enjoyed working for others.In the beginning, I thought It was programming, but with time I learned that I didn’t like to work for others. My motivation comes from within. Someone telling me what to do didn’t work for me. I am not that kind of person.It’s peculiar to me that I can work 16h a day for months each day but that I can’t do even an hour without hating myself for others. Am I alone with this?So, if you want to have several failures in a row, here is your recipient to do it too. It doesn’t matter the circumstances. I guarantee if you follow these 7 steps, you can be like me and fail:Get excited with an idea.Start it! (Much better if you spend 6/12 months working on it without talking to anyone)Get excited about another idea.Leave your previous idea.Start the new oneFeel badRepeatNow I am trying to build a career as a writer —just telling you that makes me laugh— but I am already feeling lost about this.(Note that when I say laugh, I mean cry. Or both at the same time, that happened too).So, If you follow my advice successfully, let me know. I want to take full credit form it. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
