$500k selling house paintings

At 23, after being let go from a tech company for fibbing about having a college degree, I found myself at a crossroads. Needing to earn a living and recognize my knack for sales, I didn't let the lack of a degree stop me. Instead, I ventured into entrepreneurship and started a house painting business.

It was the perfect fit: low initial investment and a direct application of my sales and marketing talents. This leap of faith paid off, quickly turning my startup into a six-figure venture in the first year and scaling to seven figures by the second.

This experience wasn't just about financial success; it was a valuable lesson in entrepreneurship, teaching me the ropes of business and setting the stage for future endeavors.
