21
233440
13000
04:06
was desperate I started watching videos  about how to make money fast some people  
22
246440

7960
04:45

285360
14280
05:03
then I found someone selling Lucky Charms  that could supposedly attract money into my
27
303360
10400
05:13

rich I bought it for $300 of course  nothing happened no money appeared no magic
30
332000
14200
05:46
nothing but the lowest point came when  I paid $500 for a strange money ritual
31
346200
13440
06:01
the person said I had to burn candles  and chant a special phrase every night  
32
361600
8520
06:10

370120
11680
06:21
still no money just me sitting  in the dark feeling like a fool
34
381800
7760
06:31
by the end of it all I was in debt  humiliated and more broke than ever  
35
391920
9440
06:41
but something inside me changed I started  to realize that I couldn't take shortcuts to
36
401360
8760
06:50
success I had to stop chasing  quick fixes and focus on real
37
410120
10160
07:00
solutions that moment was my turning point  I remember sitting on the floor of my tiny
38
420280
11760
07:12
apartment surrounded by bills  and feeling completely defeated  
39
432040
10440
07:22
I thought to myself why do I  keep falling for these scams
40
442480
7040
07:31
why do I trust people who promise easy
41
451400
4600
07:36
money that's when it hit me I was trying to  take shortcuts because I was afraid of hard
42
456000
14840
07:50
work but success doesn't come from  shortcuts it come comes from real effort and
43
470840
12760
08:03
patience the next day I decided to do something  
44
483600
7960
08:11
different instead of looking  for the next get rich quick
45
491560
7200
08:18
skim I started researching skills  that could actually help me earn
46
498760
10760
08:29
money I didn't have much but I had  a computer and access to free online
47
509520
11240
08:40
resources I started learning  about business marketing and  
48
520760
8960
08:49
finance through free courses  YouTube videos and articles
49
529720
9720
09:00
at first it was overwhelming I didn't  understand many things but I kept
50
540320
9600
09:09
going I also took a small part-time job  to pay off some of my debts it wasn't
51
549920
15480
09:25
glamorous I worked in a  local grocery store stocking
52
565400
8680
09:34
shelves but it gave me enough money to survive  and keep learning as slowly I began to see
53
574080
13360
09:47
progress one day I came across a story of  someone who started their own small online
54
587440
14680
10:02
business and grew it a step by step that  inspired me I thought if they can do it so can
55
602120
15240
10:17
I with the little money I had saved I started an  online shop selling handmade items I cre created
56
617360
12880
10:30
myself it wasn't much at first but people  started buying each small success gave me more
57
630240
13480
10:43
confidence I learned from my mistakes I  stopped trusting people who promised easy money
58
643720
15680
10:59
instead I only followed advice from  reliable sources and people who had real
59
659400
9440
11:08
experience over time I expanded my business  reinvested my profits and even hired a small
60
668840
12960
11:21
team now years later I'm proud to say and  financially stable and yes even successful  
61
681800
14680
11:36

62
696480
8800
11:45
incredible looking back I can  honestly say that all those  
63
705280
8240
11:53
failures and mistakes taught me valuable lessons

724840
11840
12:16
solution remember my story success  doesn't come easy but it's worth it
