Future Millionaire Mindset

If you had asked me where I’d be at 31 when I was younger, I probably would’ve said I’d be a scientist, married, with kids. The reality is far from that.

At 31, I work a job I don’t love or hate. I just started a blog and Instagram page about my journey to becoming a millionaire, and I’m building something that I believe will help me get there. The truth is, my path has been rocky, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I can still remember a high school teacher saying I “just do what I’m supposed to do,” which is fine, but no one ever got rich by following the same path as everyone else.

I did well in high school, went to college, and that’s when my life took a turn. I don’t regret college, I met great people and learned a lot, but I also fell into a deep depression that lasted years. Some moments were darker than others. I made it through, though, stronger than ever.

I feel like I lost my twenties to depression. How do you plan for a future when you’re not sure if you even want one? Much of that decade was spent holding myself together and slowly rebuilding.

I didn’t finish college. I started working for my family’s business and had no clue what I wanted to do. For a long time, I envied people who seemed to have their purpose figured out. But I’ve learned that finding purpose doesn’t look the same for everyone.

I tried everything, office work, fitness, creative projects, but nothing fit. And I’ve realized that’s okay. Hitting rock bottom gave me strength, resilience, and clarity. I learned what I don’t want, and I learned that purpose can grow out of pain.

If I hadn’t gone through that struggle, I’d probably have a degree in something I don’t love and a job I hate. Instead, I’m here, working toward my dream of becoming a millionaire, from home, on my own terms, and enjoying almost every second of it.

The journey wasn’t what I expected, but maybe that’s exactly what it needed to be.

Don’t let the bad times drag you down. Sometimes that is all you need to jumpstart your next path.

And now, I am going to be a millionaire!
