When I was 17, I wrote in my high school yearbook, $1 million before I turned 30. What does that feel like? It feels like it's for real. And at the time, I was actually afraid to even share this with anybody. There were no mentors. No Twitter mentors. Nobody's writing threads about this stuff. So I had to figure all of it out by myself. You just can't believe it yourself.
