From Cameroon to China, betting on myself the whole way.

I grew up in Cameroon wanting to build an online business. The courses that could teach me cost $500, $1,000, $2,000. For where I was, that was a wall. So I went looking for a way around it.

The scholarship

I got a scholarship to China in September 2019, right before COVID. I used the scholarship money to buy a trading course. It did not work. So I tried dropshipping, and I made my first dollar online selling a projector to a buyer in Canada. That was the first time I ever earned money on the internet, and it changed what I believed was possible.

Learning to sell

I survived on my monthly stipend through COVID and used the time to learn. A friend from India named Abhi taught me sales and high ticket, and showed me a world I did not know existed. I learned Facebook and YouTube ads. I got my first real job with a woman named Beati, around $1,000 a month. That connection led to a role at Flip Secrets as an appointment setter in February 2024.

From there I moved through high ticket sales, real estate wholesaling, fitness coaching, supplement sales, and acquisition and disposition management. Then I got laid off. I kept building anyway.

What the money built

The money I made from sales is what funded everything. It is how I built the Paycheck Reset System. It is how I helped a friend build Rockstar Vocal Secrets. It is how I am building Life After The Sale. I am funding my own portfolio from the ground up, with no investors, no safety net, and no head start.

What I am doing now

I am in China building a venture to help Chinese factories, the ones who make most of what Americans buy, develop real brands and advertise on Facebook the way American companies do. Most of them have never had access to that. I am building apps with AI, scaling with affiliate marketing, and learning everything in public.

The builds, the numbers, the decisions, all of it goes into The Build every week.
