For years, I thought the way to make money online was to grow as big as possible.

So I played the “content creator” game.

Posting daily.
Chasing engagements.
Watching my follower count like it was my toddler.

This got me 26,000+ followers on Medium & 14,000+ followers on LinkedIn.

The problem? I still couldn’t afford to move out of my parents' house in Ghana.

I was burning 20+ hours a week creating content, but my bank account barely moved.

I stayed stuck at $2–3k months, constantly stressed about where the next client would come from.

And super jealous of everyone saying they did a stupid little shift and it made them $10k+ a month.

But this year, I got serious…

I was tired of feeling like a slave to my work while barely making enough.

So I invested $4800 in coaching.

And in less than 60 days, I went from $2–3k months to +$14,000.
