( this page is very much a work in progress I wrote this in one hour, it is meant to accompany 2 other pages, one page describing in detail my addiction another page talking about my current Onlyfans challenge to build one of the biggest pages with most subscribers, this page will be setting the stage for daily documentation as I see if a broken somewhat old man can still become a millionaire )
Currently working 2 jobs, in my hometown area of Northwest Arkansas, McDonald’s and Walmart. I work every day of the week, overnight shifts. I work 4, 10 hour shifts for Walmart, 3, 8 hour shifts for McDonald’s. Sporadically when they need me, I may work an additional 3 hours at another McDonald’s location after my Walmart shift. I earn after taxes $12 an hour from McDonald’s, $14 an hour from Walmart. I also run Onlyfans, which ranges from $300 a month to $1,000+ a month, highly dependent on how much effort I put into it.
Physical fitness is extremely important to me, I aim to go to the gym daily, alternating weightlifting days with boxing/cardio days. To maximize my sleep during my 1 hour break at Walmart I will go to the gym and do 30 minute boxing intervals, using the rest of the time to shower and get back to the store on time. Weightlifting requires more time, usually an hour and a half so after work on those days I drive to the gym before home. I have plans to increase my physical activity, buying a bicycle swapping out boxing days and instead coming home to ride my bicycle on local bicycle trails. I’m also thinking about buying an electric scooter as a fun way to get around this summer.
Living situation, I rent an apartment near the university of Arkansas off of Dickson street in Fayetteville Arkansas for $1,000 a month. In an interesting fate, my father as a young man lived in this very same apartment, after I divorced my ex wife she moved into this apartment and now that she has moved out to live with her boyfriend, I have moved into the apartment myself. My ex wife and I are friends after our divorce, rare I know, and she helped set me up with this apartment. I did not know what to think of it at first, but I have come to like the location as it is near our university party street which has some nice restaurants and a live action theatre. For the greater part of a year I do not expect to enjoy the location where I live as saving money is my priority, however I may loosen up a bit and start going to some of these restaurants and the theatre as a way to stay motivated on my path and have something more worthwhile to spend my money on then food.
2013-2017 Graduated high-school, served in the Marine corps, got married, addiction began in 2016, to present day.
2013-2017 Entrepreneurial Endevors (before marines MLM can’t remember at moment will update in future ) While in the Marines I was introduced to ACN in a San Diego conference, an MLM group who some friends convinced me to join, I joined paid my fee and the next week forgot about it. Bank of Dowellsmith- while in the Marines, I would lend out money to my fellow Marines acting as a money lender and charging $20 interest on every loan, calling myself the bank of Dowellsmith, I made a shit ton of money doing this, but probably lost about as much as I made due to extremely poor bookkeeping. A life changing moment was one of my friends handing me a book “Rich dad poor dad” told me this very copy was given to him by an older friend who got out of the Army, read the book and is now a millionaire. I still have the book today and though I’m not a millionaire it certainly changed my life for better or worse I don’t know yet.
2017-2020 First 2 jobs after Marines picking grapes in a field in Prarie Grove Arkansas, and working for a moving company in Fayetteville Arkansas, made the decision to quit both jobs after witnessing day laborers returning from a days work in the fields, their body’s twisted, faces gnarly from elements exposure. Decided to get an easier job. Second job, worked very briefly for a lock and alarm company in Fayetteville Arkansas, at the time, my then wife and I were fighting heavily, making learning my job which was fairly technical seemingly impossible, I was also at the time heavily addicted, I was fired and one reason given was that I did not ask enough questions, fair enough I never forgot that scolding. Third job, worked gym sales in Fayetteville Arkansas, I really enjoyed the job, so much that I often worked off the clock, partly as an excuse to not go home to my wife, as home was often hell at the time for me. My entrepreneurial desire to learn sales was great, but with my chaotic marriage and pornograohic addiction, being surrounded by women in revealing clothing I made some decisions that got me fired. ( I’ll talk about those decisions along with a whole other page dedicated simply to my addiction) I should say, I was a fairly good salesman, I did not have a natural knack for it, but I worked very hard at my job to improve. I was working for $50 a day, which is just insane, and often the gym owners would skimp out on my paychecks anyway, I was loyal to disloyal people who ripped off the community and their employees, I worked gym sales for a year, before the incident that got me fired. This is where I moved into doing, Dominos ( fired over addiction) Uber eats, door dash ( fired over adiction) , and bite squad
2017-2020 Entrepreneurial Endeavors- My first endeavor after the Marines was to teach old people how to use phones and computers, I remember a freezing cold night in northwest Arkansas as I papered an entire neighborhood and nursing home doors with sticky notes with my name and phone number written on each advertising computer lessons, the next morning my phone rang, it was one of the home owners saying that one of his neighbors was going to call the police on me when the entire neighborhood woke up to sticky notes on their doors. Undeterred I replicated the same thing in my own apartment complex the next night, finally getting my first customer, at this time I also ran Craigslist adds. In total I had 5 clients, it was the easiest job of my life, one lady paid me $60 for three days in a row for me to show her how to move icons around on her computer, I never set the price with my clients instead asking them to pay what they thought I deserve. Due to addiction and my chaotic marriage I quit the idea. My next endeavor was resale, this was my most profitable endeavor during these years, I started out like many reselling from Salvation Army, and goodwill to my online eBay store, running all over northwest Arkansas full time with my then wife, not sure how this timeline lines up with my jobs but I recall having a lot of time to do resale. We ran on it full time, paying our rent utilities and gas for at least 4 months. Notably I saved the day one winter evening when it seemed we would not be able to make rent. We had one week to make it and I was $200 behind with only $100 something extra. My wife and I had been fighting, by this time I had blown up the engine of our BMW, and we were down to one car, she would not lend me the car for that day so on a cold winter night I took my backpack and all the cash I had, got on my bicycle and rode 2 hours up to Springdale Arkansas to a shop that sold Amazon return items. They had a particular item that I knew would sell, all birds shoes, for months they had been a staple in my reselling consistently making me returns and selling quickly. I filled my backpack up with as many allbirds shoes I could fit, paid for them, hopped on my bicycle and pedaled 2 hours home. As soon as I was home I listed the shoes online in the next three days they all sold out and I made rent in time! I lament what could have been, I was shifting from physical resale to learning about dropshipping at the time, this is when shit really hit the fan in my marriage and I tearfully declared to my now ex wife that I would never be an entrepreneur agsin, something died in me that night and has not returned since. I really lost the fire I had for business, ever since I just feel like a zombie going through reps, my divorce really sending me into a spiral, basically losing all purpose to even go over and beyond. And to this day, I go through the motions, and it’s very difficult to do business because I feel a lot of pain when I do, for what could have been, and how far behind I am, and just not being the person I was before the night my fire got extinguished.
