What Business Taught Me

On value, sales, pricing, and teaching, learned the hard way.

The First Dollar

I always remember the first dollar I ever earned online.

That one dollar was worth at least a hundred thousand times more than the money itself.

It made me realize that even without a company behind me, I could create value and make money on my own. I had a skill that let me deal directly with the market, without depending on an employer.

It gave me an incredible sense of freedom and confidence.

And that first dollar led to a hundred dollars, then a thousand, then ten thousand, then a hundred thousand, and beyond.
