There is something special and brave when you're in your 20s and attending University. Yes, it teaches you how to improve critical thinking, interpersonal relationships, and problem-solving, but it also makes you realize the challenges awaiting you in the real world outside.

Finding a satisfying career and building a dream lifestyle that aligns with your skills and passions can be difficult.

That is why sometimes, you also think of quitting University and taking risks to start a business and break the stigma of getting stuck in an employment mindset.

Balazs W Kardos takes us into the business life of a 24-year-old Jack Ruddell in today's Diamond Life Mentor Uncut Client Success Interview. At 21, he quit University and invested in various businesses and mentors while he had a full-time brokerage job to live his dreams in Gold Coast, Queensland.

But it wasn't enough. Jack moved back to his parents to gain clarity in the business, challenged himself for a year, and discovered the high-ticket network marketing industry. He went from having rough months, working mornings and evenings, to having consistent leads and earning $5k, $8k, $12k, to over $25k monthly because of his leadership skills and duplicating himself with team members.

Two years later, he discovered Balazs' mentorship program, and that's when his business skyrocketed more, making him rank 4A to 6A six months into the program. That led him to quit his job and dedicate himself full-time.

Jack attended the calls regularly, took action, and grew his numbers exponentially. His new goal is to earn $100k monthly and rank 6A-2 in the beautiful sunny Gold Coast.

So, the question is: are you still stuck wondering if there's more to life than the daily grind? It might not be the traditional path, but with guidance and a killer work ethic, everything is possible, as Jack did.

"It's just laying the foundation and the groundwork. But often because we expect to make boatloads of money in our first month or two months like other people in the community get off to a fast start, and it could be a mental obstacle that is unnecessary." - Balazs W Kardos
