SPI 875: The First Dollar Formula—30 Days to Earn Your First Dollar Online

I want to take you back in time and we're gonna go back to 2008. Anybody who's followed the show and has followed my work for a while knows how important 2008 is because in June of 2008, June 17th to be specific, I was let go. So I celebrate every single year. June 17th is Let Go Day, and I celebrated that yesterday at the time that this recording comes out.

So why do I celebrate it? Because it was the day that changed my life. Now I didn't know it at the time, but 2008 was also an important year because I had started to build stuff that I had never built before. The reason was because I had moved back in with my parents. I did not want to be there, no offense to them, but I was building a life and I felt like I was going backwards.

Couldn't get another job as an architect. I In fact, went in for many more interviews and got denied every single time. Even though in my other position I was the youngest person to be a job captain at this firm of over 200 people in a renowned firm in the Bay Area, I had all the credentials and yet nobody was hiring. This is how bad it was in 2008.
