Millionaire Goes Homeless To Prove Anyone Can Make $1,000,000

Today has been very hard, here is a bench we will sleep on tonight, so this is Mike Black, the

millionaire

who became

homeless

with the goal of making a million dollars out of nothing in just 12 months while documenting everything the journey online for everyone to see. I'm leaving my entire network. I'm draining my bank account to zero dollars. I'm leaving my seven-figure business behind, packing away all my belongings, and I won't even have a place to live. This is the million dollars. Come back, did you know the project will be like this? No, it was all a curveball.

This is the only pair of clothes I carry with me. I have a cell phone and a backpack with camera equipment. The keys were officially handed over at The project has started now I have to figure out what to do. What Mike didn't know at the time was that this was going to be the hardest year of his life, but why did he decide to do it? I'm going to try to beg and

make

a couple of dollars without worrying at all about food. I can go a couple of days without eating. Hey, how are you?

I was wondering if you happen to have similar water glasses, finally someone kind enough to give me some water, look it was the beginning of 2020 and countless people had lost everything and he wanted to be a living example that you can come back even at your lowest point, but could you really reach $1 million in 12 months again? Everything I tried didn't work. I sent a message to someone. I said on Craigslist that they would give me a hundred dollars if I left them. I started to think I was going to be sleeping on the streets a lot longer than I thought.

I don't know if I could do this right, so it's 11 o'clock didn't

make

any money, my bank right here that I'm going to sleep in tonight, so there was no turning back now that he had publicly committed on all social media, He hired a full production team and this was about something. bigger than just himself, the goal of the project was to help as many people as possible, so giving up was never an option, but things took a turn, something incredible happened out of nowhere, when this kid hit me and He said, "Hey, you can stay here." He offered to drive 30 minutes to pick me up.

I am very excited. What a good skill it was. I promise you that I will pay you for all this. That's fine thanks. I mean, it's not necessary, but thank you very much. This is the RV I slept in last night. This was a brief window of opportunity to get back on his feet. I still have a pair of clothes. Look how disgusting it is. I have to put these boxers back on, so I had to make some. money, but this time he had a plan. What I started doing was simply taking ads on Craigslist in the free section, putting them on Facebook Marketplace, and selling them for a profit.

I acted as an intermediary handling all the logistics between the buyer and the seller. I worked, I just sold my first couch for 100 dollars, although this was literally only 0.01 towards the end goal, so I was finally able to buy some clothes, some decent food after not eating for days and most importantly , deodorant. Sorry, on the third day he won a huge amount. 250 flipping more couches hey Mike, what do you have? It's a good computer, yes it's just a new used Chromebook. I'm going to accept it. Oh, it just doesn't work out, but Mike had to figure out how to get his own place because Isaac, the guy who helped him the first day and was now living in the RV still had no idea about the project and who Mike really was because he was going undercover as Scott, so he wouldn't get any extra help if Isaac found out Mike would have to cut it. contact, which is one of the many rules he established for the project and then he would return to the streets, so he had to get more benjamins in his bank account.

I applied for 10 different jobs in one night and the next day I woke up and had three interviews, so he spent the last 40 dollars and had to join a co-working space where he could use much better computers and start trading time for money, even if that means working as a telemarketer for only ten dollars an hour. twenty-five dollars an hour working for a law firm is a virtual assistant, so I went to Isaac and said, "Hey, would you mind lending me your car? I'll do the food delivery and give you most of everything." ". I'm the best delivery driver you've ever heard of, man, I could flip this bike the way it sells for $300,400.

I just left the thrift store. I have all these t-shirts. You are looking for a sugar daddy. Give me 220 dollars, but still. With all this work I was barely getting by for the first time, my bank really went overdrawn. I didn't expect it to take me this long to get out of this situation until things got even worse. We didn't put this in the footage but the RV had had a cockroach infestation, it was really bad, imagine trying to sleep in a place where there are cockroaches everywhere, imagine them crawling on you, well one night I looked at my arm, there were a cockroach, I just took it off and sat down.

Done, I won't live here another week. He just had to get a client for some service that would pay him a few grand. I literally spent the entire weekend. I sent out so many sales proposals until he finally got someone to pay him for fifteen monthly marketing services. hundred dollars the government is exploding in my head now I have money so he was able to move out of the RV into a small shared room and come full circle now that he was finally able to repay Isaac by helping him sell the RV for two thousand dollars more than him He was hoping I would buy him a MacBook as a thank you gift paid for by my business.

I was going to pay for two flights to Germany because he really wanted to go to Germany, just thanks for everything and then he stopped responding to my message. Who knows, maybe you'll come close now if you watch the video. I want his tickets to Germany, but to finally reach the million-dollar milestone he had to build a real business, ideally one scalable like an e-commerce company. I'm at the farmer's house. market here, I'm looking for people who sell products that I can maybe partner with and sell online and after making some connections with a manufacturer and looking at trends, decided on a very specific niche, a coffee brand for coffee lovers. dogs that donates a percentage of profits to save dogs, but what got in the way was the fact that I had to document everything.

I was spending 40 to 60 hours a week in production and marketing and managing the production team alone while I was

homeless

at the beginning of the project. I remember being in meetings with the boys and I would say that I haven't eaten today. I don't have the money to go back to the trailer park. I have to get out of this meeting and you guys have to figure it out because if I don't flip the couch today I have to sleep in the office we have to film a quick overview we have to film how our overseas entertainer just quits you're spending 25 grand a month on production 25,000 burned a month on project production and marketing paying for it out of your own pocket I only spent an hour on my business this has been a constant issue I'm not going to be able to build a million dollar business so how much money have you made up to Now it's disappointing.

Are you making this a minimum wage? You feel like a failure. I can't work all these hours. I need to build my business. Do you feel the pressure of people staring at you or potentially failing in public? Does that keep you up at night? I'm so tired that I just found out that the client decided to fire us. I guess you had to be really strategic with your time and money, whether it was cutting expenses to invest more in launching the e-commerce business or investing money to save more time, for example. hiring freelancers still working on the homepage jay you logged two and a half hours you said you were going to log a full day today dude we need to get this site up and running oh god I've never been so angry it's starting to I've gotten to the point where I feel overwhelmed by being able to achieve this goal.

I don't feel like it's far enough, but out of desperation, Mike came up with a brilliant idea: not only would they cut his biggest spending, but they could actually make him money. I'm looking for a place. Let's say the rent costs four thousand dollars a month. I'm going to rent four of the rooms for a thousand dollars a month to pay for the place and I'd get that fifth room for free. that's what I call renting and hacking this is a four story place it will be my fourth dressing room here this would be my bathroom I would go from the trailer park these three months I made this as a podcast room or something Wow this place is big.

He makes it valuable by setting up this house specifically for like-minded business owners and because his fake identity, Scott, doesn't have a good credit score, he just found someone to co-sign him. What do you think is a good percentage of profit for you, doing things like credit partners, okay I got the official lease, how cool was it that I went from living in a mobile home to this place rent free, plus I would make money and also the coffee brand was finally ready to launch oh we are in business we have coffee honey we got our first coffee order this time four months ago guys I was thinking about sleeping on a bench if they say that I hate my job, I can't stand my job. quit smoking save some money downsize quit smoking figure out what you want to do and with the nine months or so left maybe it's still possible to reach the million dollar milestone there are plenty of people who have built a company in nine months and do it they've made a million dollars I'm healthy my family is healthy that's all that matters Tuesday I found out my dad was officially diagnosed with stage four colon cancer yes they said in my lungs my liver my dad is the most important to me in my life the typical survival rate for that is 14, what I was told, between 12 and 18 months, believe it or not, yes, it could be better but also much worse for me.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I'll fight Michael. The fight begins. Don't be mad and here we see where Mike got his unwavering optimism from his father. He receives a terminal diagnosis and still considers himself the luckiest man in the world after months of struggling to overcome homelessness, working 100 hours a week to run. a whole production team and trying to make a million dollars at the same time now this happened this was real life now Mike had the decision to continue with the project or abandon some things are going to change because I'm moving home Pass time with my dad, let's figure it out.

You know, this is what happens in life. It was like life was testing Mike if you could really be a leader. He lives by the message of the project and overcomes this adversity. They deal you cards. you had to play the hand close to Dell, his father wanted him to continue because now it was about more than just winning a million dollars, it was about living by the values ​​that his father taught him to make the best of every situation, even in times of struggle. and it lit a fire inside him and I wrote it down.

He wanted 20,000 people to come up and say you impacted my life in a positive way, that's all he wanted, so could he still reach the million dollar goal now that things got even more? challenging and I want to make it very clear, I don't think I was going to make it, but they had a pretty good plan. Coffee is one of those consumables that people buy again and again if they love your brand, so set up a monthly campaign. The subscription would be a game changer and if they could acquire new customers to try their products, they could become repeat buyers in the long run.

Dance with smiles. We made our first tic tac and the tic tac went semi-viral. Almost 3,200 followers. Holy, what I believe. we got our first coffee club subscription while driving in t order etsy order 34 221 our ad account was disabled this is what i do when i'm angry so i made a list of things i'm grateful for. The first is Mark Zuckerberg. I'm grateful for great technology, so now I feel better, things started moving faster, but that also created more problems. Mike was still juggling too many things, spending only five hours a week on the e-commerce company trying to squeeze in family time.

Content with documenting the return of the million dollars and researching cancer to help his father. So far he had spent 250,000 producing the project and the channel had not yet taken off. His goal of impacting 20,000 people seemed impossible with just a few hundred. of visits by The video that was like a layer of stress I kept having to cheer on the team as boys. We would eventually get these views until his own health also began to deteriorate throughout the project. We haven't shared it with you, but yes. in and out of the doctor's office, I actually have two autoimmune diseases, I even started to develop a tumor in myhip, it's a point where I feel pain every day, health, wealth, relationships, everything in my life is at the lowest point I wanted it to be. talk about the project very quickly I don't know if I should continue doing it I should really help my dad with his business my dad leaves the business the business is totally done I should finish the project now that I was still far from achieving the goal of one million dollars and have a big impact, but then he received a message from a stranger that changed everything.

There was a guy towards the end of the project who reached out. I need to talk with you. He receives the call and he. He literally starts crying and he says, man, I was going to kill myself. I found your content, it just gave me hope. That was the best feeling I've ever felt in my entire life if I finished it now with only 65,000 facts and one person. He was deeply shocked: Would the project be a failure or a success? I wanted to help people who were struggling recover and show that many things could be done about this situation.

It sucks, but I am in control of how I see. things throughout all of this, no matter how difficult the hidden life was, he made the best of everything and lived by the message he really believed that's what true leaders do, so he decided to end the project early to focus on fixing his own health and spending more time with his father and now he is doing much better and things are going very, very well and who knows, maybe now with this video. Mike is capable of impacting 20,000 people.
