Here's how I made my first $100,000 in business. As they say, the first $100,000 is always the hardest, and that's from Warren Buffett's partner, Charlie Munger. And so when I was 25, I actually got fired from a job where they discovered that I had a non-competitive side hustle. Immediately, I went to post up my profile on different job boards, different freelance boards, and I started reaching out to a lot of CEOs by making 20 to 30-minute marketing strategy videos, and I would reach out to them every single day. On top of that, I would write answers to marketing, SEO stuff on Quora, and eventually someone reached out that had read one of my Quora answers and offered me a $30K a month contract. That's how I got to my first $100K.
