Sean’s Story
There I was. I’d already hit rock bottom. After chasing the dream of being a rock star without the discipline and raw talent, it sent determination down a misguided path. Around the economic crisis of 2008, the lack of financial literacy and spiritual bankruptcy put me on a downward spiral. There was no where else to go but up.
Informed by the limited knowledge available at the time, going to art school to learn advertising looked like the perfect way to focus my creative skills, which would result in landing a lucrative job at a high profile ad agency – so I hoped. The reality was a counter example of the story that going to college is guaranteed to make you successful. Of course, there are no guarantees in life, except that there are no guarantees. The fact I missed going in was that the reason I didn’t get an impressive degree in the first place. I was given the wrong information. I didn’t yet know how to make money, how to keep it, or how to multiply it. However, I was still willing to bet on myself.
Life is not pass or fail. Lessons are repeated until you learn them. Even though at that time I ended up back where I started, selling cosmetics at department stores, this time I started a business from my passion: art. I also got into acting for a while until the pandemic hit. Next time someone advises you to follow your passion, you should completely ignore them. Do not follow your passion. Follow the money. Learn a marketable skill that there’s a demand for.
When I realized it was not only financial literacy that I needed, but it was also an environment of likeminded, success-oriented people that I could associate with in order to encourage each other and be held accountable to each other, a new world of abundance opened up to me. I invested in a conference where entrepreneurs sold several millions of dollars worth of products from the stage. One in particular is the founder of a digital marketing SaaS company. That was when I discovered digital marketing, and I became obsessed with it.
