so as today we are addressing a question that I get quite a lot which is how do you drop out of high school so quick disclaimer before we get into this video and you know how advocate dropping out of high school I don't advocate dropping out of college I don't advocate anything within that realm I'm just sharing my personal experience because so many of you guys have asked yeah let's get started first let me tell you a bit about my sac I really did stop playing these things and digital marking gets lonely anyways let me
tell you guys about my story and the reasons behind how I or the reasons behind why I dropped out of high school so I have a funny interesting family situation which I'll tell you guys next year so I've always just kind of had to make my own money be the man for myself take care of myself but in the meanwhile I was obviously I was still going to high school and yeah you know my friends would call me up and be like yo dude you want to go to the movies and I checked my pockets
and go I don't I don't even think I have enough to pay for the bus to get to the movies let alone the movies so yeah I just kind of I was looking for ways to make money and around the time that I dropped out of high school or before then I was just doing simple freelance work you know because to me that was a simple equation you put time and money in I you put time in and that equates a certain amount of money and then you put a value on what your time is
worth and that's how much money you get per hour so yeah that's what I was doing and then I got more into the business side of things social media was initially how I first started social media marketing yeah does kind of how I got my start that with my personal brand which actually got me all those opportunities so yeah the reason I dropped out of high school was because dude I was I was getting like two three hours of sleep a night I was trying to juggle both things it was funny I would sit in
class and I would like look up I was on my computer all the time and I would look up at my teachers and my teacher and I would just go like and we both knew I was doing my own thing and yeah I was pushing for a long time to drop out of high school but everyone thought I was [ __ ] stupid like my mom thought was [ __ ] even my own business mentor was I even don't do it is [ __ ] ridiculous everyone else around it was like dude like what are
you doing right obviously now in and now I look like I'm a genius for doing and stuff like that but at the time I looked just so [ __ ] stupid so yeah the reason behind why I dropped out high school was because I genuinely at that point could not manage doing high school and business at the same time so it's a lot of you guys saying hey Eman like you know I I wanna hook up at a high school because I want to start my business no you start your business you start your online
business while you're in high school while you're in college while you're doing your job and then you get support it gets the tipping point right where you have enough money from your online business or whichever business are doing that it can sustain your lifestyle and let me tell you guys how I went about thinking about that so my business mentor Bob mostly you guys know he was my first ever like proper mentor now we're business partners he he met me had a really really [ __ ] place in my life once again I'll go into
that in detail and sometime next year and yet he met me really [ __ ] place in my life and I'll be honest he opened some good opportunities for me I had to work really [ __ ] hard for it but one of those things was actually going to Amsterdam for a little like project now I think I made overall from that trip maybe eight hundred pounds and I had still had to pay for my flights and stuff like that but it was so [ __ ] proud moment in my life and plus 800 pounds
literally even in and this was February was still good money to me so it was just such a [ __ ] proud moment in my life and I remember I sat on the plane back from Amsterdam to London and looked out the window I had a window seat I looked out the window and I'm like dude this is the most proud moment of my life you know I I made money from in I did what I loved and you know I'm like how do i how do I do this I'd make my life this you
know so I figured out what is my overhead and this is like people think oh man you took the risk you burned the bridges you dropped at a high school no I thought about it systemically I went okay what is my overhead including rent because I wasn't paying at the time and I'm still not I'm moving out in like roughly two months yeah what is what is gonna be your overhead including rent and two level where you're you're you can live a good lifestyle and for me that was roughly three thousand two hundred dollars two
thousand five hundred pounds look I live in London like this I live in London I like to eat nice stuff and take care of my health and go to a nice gym I know I don't really spend money on stupid [ __ ] flashy cars watches stuff like that even though I've been very tempted but like in terms of keeping my health up my overall lifestyle I like to keep it to a good level plus rent in London is just ridiculous anyway so two thousand five hundred was the number I came up with so and
two thousand five hundred how many months do you think you need in savings to make this like a viable option and I went okay I need four months because four months will give me enough time I or amore in the burden to burn the boat burn the bridges is it burn the bridges and the boat side whatever like I'm already in that mentality sink or swim but four months is enough time for me to really get my [ __ ] together and take this properly so okay so I go I need 10,000 pounds basically so
now I need to get 10,000 pounds and I need that either lump sum in deposit or written contract right binding written contract so I go all right what's my time frame to do this because you need a time frame for these goals I go okay if I can do it in the next eight weeks then I'm gonna drop out and I did it in two and a half roughly in two and a half I signed three and a half thousand a month pounds in retainers binding contract and those contracts all those contracts with for three
months so if you average it out the last month lost it made roughly 2500 pounds so that is that was my thinking behind how to drop out of high school and then I just went ahead and did and a lot of people don't know but in London or UK I I was struggling I you know I felt like it was impossible but like look if you are self-employed and you've got your online business and you can show that you know and you're making even a thousand pounds a month you can drop out like it's not
an issue you just talked to your school my school tried to determine they're like no it's against the law and I really had to [ __ ] fight for Anna it was a really really [ __ ] tough period in my life and for example my my relationship with my mother completely completely strained my relationship with my friends completely strained just such a stressful part of my part of my life so really it's not something that's easy you know and there's a lot of stigma around it and said when people when when I first dropped
out people saw this [ __ ] ridiculous for good reason you know and then now it's funny because all those people who are like deterring me all I should know they're now they're asking for to meet up for coffee for a quick 15-minute coffee to pick my brain but uh hey you know that's that's the way the world works um so yeah that is my story that is how I did it in terms of numbers wise in terms of how I did it socially law wise I said just make sure you are registered as self-employed
or you create an LLC or here in UK Ltd and make sure you're working more than 20 hours a week no one's really gonna check no one's gonna knock at your door and check but make sure you're making anywhere probably at least like five hundred two thousand pounds a month you know show that you're putting in effort and yeah you can drop out of high school before eighteen but I do not recommend it for pretty much 99% of you you know I I knew I was gonna make it happen because keep in mind I had
a track record you know I've been reading a book a week since I was 14 you know I had I've built up discipline I've built up a work ethic you know so for me I had a really good skill set going into this now that's all that asks for you know we talk about financial vehicles a lot on here how are you actually gonna make that money you know how are you even gonna get to your how are you gonna get the tipping point how are you gonna get to the overhead you need to get
to realistically and as I said I have no attachment to any sort of financial vehicle out there realistically online business is the only way to grow that quickly and scale that quickly so you know in terms of online business you have Amazon FBA which is great you know there's people crushing it but you need a bit of a start-up cost for that if you do go for it you've got you've got a drop shipping once again great you've got Fillion marketing once again great with with FBA and affiliate marketing really if you want to get
started properly you need at least I would say at least a grand to three grand then you've got stuff like social media marketing once again that's great because you don't really need much equipment you know you can start running ads you can start doing the the management and the growth of clients pages and like what to get one client at a Kay is so [ __ ] easy you know and now we're making 1k a month and that that's great that for most of you guys I'll even cover your overhead and then you've got lastly
personal branding which is for me I'm the biggest advocate of because you don't need any money to start you know you've got YouTube you've got Instagram you've got Facebook you can you can get free traffic to your squeeze page your mailing list and then you can sell them on stuff whether that be your own stuff for affiliate marketing stuff personal branding is the one where you I would say first of all personal branding and then social media marketing are the only to where you need zero money to start zero money to start affiliate marketing once
again zero money to start if you're running it through your personal brand you know so yeah first of all figure out what are the practicality of it like for those that are thinking about it and you know if you're thinking about it then like I honestly I can't persuade you against it I don't recommend it but whatever everyone's got to go through their own struggle or their own learn learn things themselves some first of all figure out the numbers what are the numbers for some of you guys have and have the conversation with your parents
if you're in college might be a bit different I don't know where your situation is I didn't have to have the financial conversation with my parents or my parent to my mom because look like I make my own money so like it when you're not receiving any money when you're taking care of yourself like it didn't there was a lot less involved with all you guys you're getting you know care from your parents and most likely that will get cut off if you piss them off so you have to think about these stuffs that this
sort of stuff so think about work practicality practicality of it what are the actual numbers run the numbers through your head and then think what are these social repercussions of it you know what's the stigma around it what are your parents gonna say like what are your friends are gonna say stuff like that I mean look all I can tell you is like I've dropped out of school like six seven months ago you know look on people's faces now it's just oh it is the best thing ever ever ever you know and I'm not really
a spiteful guy I'm a very understanding guy I know why people do things but it's just I laugh about it and you know I don't hold any grudges but it's very very amusing at this point right so first of all what was the practicality of it is it even possible what's the practical better then that's the first if you get a green on that and you go okay the numbers add up and I could I can do that and that makes sense and this is the amount I need to get by X X amount of
time green light then you go what is social repercussions or my parents say this is that green light if you do get a green light lastly you got to pick your financial vehicle look guys I don't care what you do you can do Amazon FBA and like I the thing is like I've formed partnerships and I have all of all of my friends do one like a form of this or all of my like business online business friends do one form of this so I I don't have any bias so look you can do Amazon
FBA and all of these you can make easily I would say with every single method at least 30km month within after like two years I would say minimum so you got Amazon FBA you've got affiliate marketing you've got Amazon FBA affiliate marketing social media marketing you've got drop shipping I'm gonna put Amazon and drop shipping kind of like in the same category and then you've got personal branding and once again personal branding and affiliate marketing angle in the same category pink one obviously for beginners and for people who were in that situation I think personal
branding is by far the best way to go quickest easiest business to build if you know what to do which no one knows how to do like there's no information about how to go about personal branding right any with a business mind so that's how I went about it that's my personal story to clarify for a lot you guys because the law you guys just seven months on was still confused how I actually did it and yeah I said I don't advocate anyone dropping Highschool I don't recommend it for most people but at least now
you know that I went through it with a systematic approach rather than Yolo let's a let's prove the haters wrong let's make all this Maya systematic you know so I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did go ahead subscribe you know what to do turn on that bill because I've got lives and you can talk to me directly all my lives and that's pretty cool yeah about lives every Tuesday Friday and Saturday and let me know once again I ask this in the last video but what is your person what is your goal
with your personal brand in 2018 let me know and I'll see you guys tomorrow
