My family came to America in 1997 after the Bosnian war. Parents fled Yugoslavia in a Yugo car with two grenades under the dash. If the enemy killed my Dad, my mom would blow herself and everyone else up instead of getting gang raped. Something that happened frequently then. Drove for days. Stopping at gas stations to rummage through the trash for moldy bread to eat. Finally got to Germany. Lived there for 5 years, had 2 kids. Cleaned toilets. Worked on construction sites. We all lived in a one room apartment. Papers ran out. Back to war you go. Either that, or The United States of America. The magical words. The life changing words. Was a no brainer. My parents, my brother, and myself. 30, 29, 4, 1 year old. 2 suitcases. Pocket full of cash. We went on food stamps for 1 week. 7 days. Before my Yugoslavian college educated, proper, well spoken Mother became too ashamed to take government assistance. So she scrubbed toilets in the evening. Then went to work at the battery factory at night. Swallowed her ego. Enrolled in community college during the day. Graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Then bachelor’s. Then masters. Then teacher. Then professor. G. My dad worked around the clock. Don’t really have memories of him from when I was younger. That’s how much he worked. He was the rock. No emotions. Man of few words. Grove up in extreme poverty. Small town in Bosnia that will go extinct in 10 more years. They did all of that, while raising, and giving me and my brother EVERYTHING. We started from 0. We are worth $10,000,000.00 now. From 0. All of us rich in the most important ways. Healthy. Happy. Safe. Blessed. Together. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Luck is worthless. You create your own luck. Preparation + Opportunity = Luck We’re going to argue generational lotteries? Seems trivial. That’s like arguing about the sun. Some things we can’t control. You know what we can control? Ourselves. Get to work. It might be harder for you than it was for us. Might also be easier. You’ll never know if you don’t try. Thinking anything but IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. Is already admitting defeat.

I love capitalism. I just did a quote for a massive construction company. As I walked through their offices, I found a huge room of blue Fastenal vending machines. They were filled with tools, drill bits, blades, hardhats, etc. Each one had a price on the window. Intrigued, I asked the owner what is the story on these. He mentioned to me that Fastenal comes in and stocks up all the different types of tools and PPE this specific construction company needs. Everything is priced way above Home Depot or Lowe’s prices. The construction company only pays for the tools or items whenever somebody actually “buys” them vs stocking 200 hard hats at once or keeping inventory of miscellaneous tools. This saves the company countless hours of labor since the employee doesn’t have to go to Home Depot or Lowe’s aka travel time, walking around the store, and scrolling on Instagram in the parking lot. Less time shopping for tools = more time working and charging the customer. Owner said no matter how much they spend on the parts in these machines, they save ten fold on labor. Of course the machine also automatically tracks when inventory is low and a guy comes out to fill it back up. Fucking genius. Only in America! 🇺🇸🏃🏻‍♂️💨🏁

I met my girlfriend at a bar in 2022. Love at first sight. At that point I was 25 years old. Moved back in with my parents to save money. Bought and renovated a duplex. And was making $60k a year. She was on food stamps, paying $70k/yr for Physician Assitant school, with $1,200 in her bank account. We did long distance for a year. When she visited me, she stayed at my parent’s house. 2 weeks after meeting, we started dating. 6 months in I took her to Europe. 1 year later she moved to my hometown. Today? We’ve been together four years. Planning on life together. I’m on track to make over $500-600k this year, most likely more but I’m being conservative. My girlfriend will make around $180-190k this year. That’s ~$7-800k a year. Average couple around us makes around $120-180k. We still live way below our means. No designer bullshit. Drive a Chevy Silverado and a Ford Bronco. She prefers to shop on FB marketplace and thrift stores for the charm with the occasional higher quality boutique splurges. Our glassware is brewery glasses and mason jars. Our cutlery is from Macy’s. I wear $3 shirts daily and Banana Republic outlet fits. None of this is by intention or that fact that we’re cheap. We just don’t know any better. We grew up lower class. We met, what feels like, yesterday. From lower middle to middle class families. We were two broke kids who fell in love. 4 years later we’re two adults with more money than we can spend. It takes a while for that new money mindset to creep in. To us, spending a couple hundred on random “luxuries” is still hard to do. But truthfully, living well below our means makes our lives way easier. As a man, who you choose to be your Queen is the most important decision you will make. The right one will help you build your empire. The wrong one will cost you everything.

Just bought my Dad a Rolex. $10,400. 💸 More than well deserved. He brought us here to the US when I was 11 months old. Family of 4 at the age of 30. Refugee. Worked 2 jobs. Side jobs. Learned his 3rd language. Helped raise us. Was always there for us. Started working for himself. Taught me everything I know about life, real estate, money, relationships, etc. He grew up incredibly poor in Yugoslavia (now Bosnia). 500 sqft home. Family of 5. No car. Parents were an arranged marriage & had no formal education. He gave us the world, so the least I could do was get him something unexpected. 2 years ago I asked the Rolex dealer, in my area, to put me on the waitlist for a Submariner. She texted me the other day, “you got the allocation.” His birthday is this month. Did the stars align? Maybe. At first I didn’t have much interest in the watch, was in the middle of working when I got the text. Then I remembered why I even asked to be on the list, in the first place. It was for my Dad. Fuck it. Sometimes, you have to do what feels right. Not what makes the most financial sense. We only live once on this Earth. The money? I’ll make it back. Memories & time spent with my Dad? I only get one shot at that. I knew that on my deathbed one day, I’ll think back to the day he teared up and couldn’t look at me, when I told him I’m buying him his dream watch. Za moj jedini Tata, nek si ti meni ziv i zdrav jos sto godina. ❤️💪🏼

Late 20s start to expose you. Your early 20s? - Big talk - Big ideas - Big dreams - Big excuses - Plenty of “next years” But now 30 is closing in. And deep down, you know you’ve been doing things wrong. Good. That pressure you feel? You need it. Because self-accountability is the only way out. You cannot win at life without it. It’s very simple. You get what you deserve in life. *barring true uncontrollable events. - Your physique - Your job/business - Your bank account - Your family - Your daily life It’s all a reflection of your choices. The second you admit: - You’ve wasted time - You’ve lied to yourself - You’ve avoided the work - You’ve made excuses Everything starts to change. Most people never get there. They hide behind: - The economy - Bad luck - Their boss - Their parents - “Mental health” Blame is easy. Accountability is brutal. But accountability works. The shift happens when you start owning everything. You’re late? Should’ve left earlier. You’re broke? Should’ve worked more hours and saved more. You’re fat? Should’ve eaten better, and trained harder. You’re “behind” in life? Should’ve made better decisions. Every little excuse compounds into your character. But once you take full ownership, the growth is scary. - You become disciplined - You seek challenge - You stop fearing failure - You start winning I’ve been on both sides. - Broke - Bitter - Depressed A loser. The day it changed was the day I said: I’m the problem. And the only way out? Is through. Take full accountability for everything. And start small. Every problem? Blame yourself. Be accountable. Learn from mistakes. Analyze everything. And move forward. The choice is always yours. The person they bury one day will be the person YOU built. No one else. Build someone today that you’ll be proud of tomorrow.

Growing up there was a kid in my high school from a rich family. He would always talk about this one stock nonstop and how it was going to change the world. I vividly remember the lunch room conversations. This was around 2014. He never planned on going to college. Was always working two or three jobs. Was a stoner. And only talked about money and investing. He wasn’t popular. More of a prep than a jock. Didn’t really fit in anywhere. Just did his thing. People would always ask him why he was working so much. Why he wasn’t focused on college or taking over his family’s real estate business. He had his own plans and didn’t care how it looked. Last I heard he made a few million. Moved out west. Bought a big farm. Grows a lot of weed. Just travels all the time. Every now and then I see him pop up on my Facebook doing some random biking trip in the middle of nowhere. Different state. Different country. That one stock he kept putting all his money into? Tesla. Lessons? Trust your gut. Stick to your convictions. Think long term. Don't listen to brokies.

Quick sales tip. If you need somebody’s email, look up the public company email on their website. Ex. ____ @ 123hvac . com Call reception and say: “Looking for [person’s name] email, he left me it on my voicemail but it cut out just before @ 123hvac . com.” Works every time.

I’m officially a millionaire. 28 y.o. Current Net Worth 4/6/25 Total: $1.002 M 📈 Tracked NW since I was 20. 💰NerdWallet: $762k 🛠️Biz Cash: $117k 🪙Crypto Holdings: $21k 💵Cash: $19k 🧾Business AR: $83k (instead of my business’ worth) Here’s what I learned on my journey.🧵

Buenos Aires is interesting. Thought it would be more first world than it is. Which, as a traveler, I like. Less rules, more common sense. Was definitely surprised to see the state of the neighborhoods just outside of the city. Very poor. Palermo is nice. If I lived here this is where I would be. Another hipster Brooklyn type of neighborhood infused with South America. Good food. Good looking, well dressed people. Fun vibe. Idk if it’s because I have real money now but everything feels borderline free here. Ubers for $3-5. Brunch for $12. 9 course Michelin quality dinners for $150. World class leather jackets and loafers for a fraction of what it costs in America. Service here is great, and the people are very nice. They never rush you while you dine, but they do show up when you need unlike Spaniards who go MIA for 4 hours when you’re looking for the check. Lol. Weather feels tropical but it’s not. No iguanas crawling all over like in Costa Rica. Streets are dirty, but that’s common city shit, similar to a NYC. One thing in Buenos Aires that they got right for sure is the trees all throughout the streets. Keeps the calm, natural vibe. Yerba mate is fire, will definitely start drinking it. Markets galore here, which I like. Tomorrow we’ll do their biggest market San Telmo and a Boca Juniors game to follow. Overall, I’m still not a fan of big cities no matter where I go. Been to many countries, and many cities all throughout the world. Still not a city guy. As for the steaks? Azorean steaks are superior to Argentina’s imo. Although I have a reservation at Fogon Asado tonight so that may change in the next few hours.

Hormozi can’t save you. You don’t need more info, you need execution. Another man won’t make you a winner. Only you can. He made $100M selling a book about making $100M. Respect the game, don’t worship the player. The real info isn’t the book. It’s the execution of the sale.

As I leave the city of Buenos Aires one thing stands out more than the Parisian buildings, the steaks, the soccer, the climate, or anything else. That one thing is the people. Simple as that. Argentinians are incredible. Proud. Caring. Funny. Hospitable. And energetic. Didn’t meet a single one who gave off a bad vibe, even the suspect looking ones. Lol. They got that European lifestyle and vibe, with the Latin American strength and grittiness. They are now only behind Irish people for me (Irish people are one of a kind). The city itself and what I saw of the country was a second world country that clearly used to be in a better state. From talking to the locals it seems they had the same fate that the US is now dealing with. Huge welfare state. Over regulation. Corruption. Spending more than you make. Huge wealth gap. Inflation. Bad financial decisions, one after the other. You can tell the infrastructure is still there in the main parts of the cities from the 1900s, but outside it’s not the same. As I drove and walked around I drew a lot of similarities between the cities in the states and the one I saw in front of my eyes. Overall, human nature is undefeated and the patterns always remain the same. The big difference we have going for us in America is the checks and balances that the founding fathers created, for now. That’s all for now for my quick BA take. Up tomorrow morning for our flight to Chile and to keep the adventure going. All the while I answer emails, Slacks, and texts about the bag back home. Life, work. Work, life. It’s all the same. Just blessed to be able to have the health and wealth to travel the world one country at a time.

If you want to get into the medical field, I highly recommend becoming a Physician Assistant. Bachelors + 2 years. ~$140k start. W2 + side job = $200k+ High status like doctor without sacrificing your life. Flexible career path. A+ benefits. And a near perfect work-life balance. My girlfriend is a PA. Worked 3 twelve hour shifts a week for the first two and a half years in the ER. Picked up a side job working at a nursing homes once a week for an extra $1k per shift. Will make ~$185k this year. Decided to move from the ER. Picked up a trauma job. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. 4 ten hour shifts, 6am - 4pm. $150k, closer to home, even better benefits, less chaos. Eventually wants to work remote via tele-health when we have kids. Easy 6 figures from home or from wherever we live. No brainer for 2 post grad years vs going the medical school route and drowning in debt for decades. You’re basically a doctor, with less headache, less hours, and less liability. If you really want to bag chase as a PA and make $200-250k a year, that’s easily possible with side jobs or OT. As someone who’s seen it second hand, I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to get into the medical field.

I’m unstoppable. Was really broke in my parent’s basement 5 years ago with no plan. Came a long way, and I’m only getting started. Started my business in 2022, made only $26k. Earned $60k that year, personally. Rented a 300 sqft office for my parts divison. Now I moved into a 1,200 sqft contractor garage, that I own. 2025? On track to do $700k+ from the business alone. With real estate, storage, and property management I’ll net over $400k+ this year, personally. Things change quick when you ruthlessly bet on yourself. 2026? $50k net a month is the new bar. Knowing me, I’ll smash right through that and not look back. Stay tuned. As always, I will continue to journal the whole journey as real and as transparent as I can. Bank screenshots? Sure. QuickBooks screenshots? Alright. Free game at every turn? Ok. Open DMs? Why not. When I started tweeting to 0 followers around a year or so ago I was making $15-20k a month. Now I tweet to 3.2k followers making $30-35k cash a month on repeat. $100k profit a month, while having my businesses on more of a “autopilot”, is the goal. None of those BS social media revenue numbers with me. My mind only works in terms of cash flow. Back to the bag mfs. 💰🏃🏻‍♂️💨🏁 P.S. Once I finish putting my inventory into my software, I’ll have a better idea of how much my businesses are even worth. With the way engineering is trending, I might be worth a couple million soon here, if not already. Started with $40k saved up 5 years ago out of my parents basement… anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Your only competition is the man in the mirror.

I had a corporate job once, just before COVID. Fortune 500 company. Outside sales. A “stepping stone” job, as they say. “But [MOAC] they have great benefits!” Job was a complete joke. Basically an adult daycare. Everything was fake. My “manager” was a 31 year old single feminist girl boss. When COVID hit, sales slowed up completely. Still had to drink the Kool-Aid and schedule “meetings” as if nothing happened. What did I do? Scheduled a bunch of fake meetings. Said my camera doesn’t work. Took team calls on the road. Went back to work as an electrician. Got to the point where they had to let me go. VP and manager called a meeting “We know this pandemic has been tough on people.” Me: “Yup.” “Mhmmm.” “Totally.” By then I was already double dipping for months. “You need to send us back that new laptop we sent you for the camera.” “I never got it.” As I write this, that laptop is in the back of my truck. That was 6 years ago. Since then I went from making $46k a year to $400k+ a year. Went from having $20k to my name to a self-made millionaire. As a man? You do what you have to. Winners win. Losers lose. No regrets. No shame. Survival is paramount.

Life update. Girlfriend is now fiancé. Cheers’d her at a bar 4 years ago, now there’s a ring on her finger. Reminder that you can just do things.

BUY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE! ⚠️ My 2026 real estate goal is to find as many of these contractor garages that I can buy or build. Simple as that. Remeber this unit from a while back? This is it now. Best part? Guy says he wants another unit. 0% chance of vacancy, ever.

How people react to small amounts of money reveals everything. 3 days ago when I was in Montenegro, I left some small tips for workers. It was interesting to see how they reacted. First one was a girl, maybe 18, making crepes. She was doing her best. Nervous. Probably one of her first solo shifts. Total was €4.90. I handed her €10.00. “Keep the change.” She stopped. Eyes wide. “5 euros?!”. “Yes.” “A five euro tip?!” As she became more excited. “Yes, for you.” She lit up as I walked away. Now imagine the kids working at Starbucks flashing the iPad and expecting 20% tips… Later that day my gf and I stopped for some ice cream. 2 high school girls were working. One training the other. Explaining everything diligently. How to scoop ice cream. How to take orders. How to clean the scooper. I walk up to order, she asks me “what would you like?”, in English. My girlfriend stands out as an American so she figured I’m just another tourist as well. I answer in Serbo-Croatian: “jel mogu dvije sa čokoladom?” “Can I have two with chocolate?” She quickly apologizes, “Izvini molim te, ti si nas?” “Sorry, my fault. You are one of us?” “Nema problema.” “No problem.” In Eastern Europe, your job is your trade. If you’re a waiter, you’re a professional. If you’re a flight attendant, you’re a professional. There’s no half ass-ing. No phones. No entitlement. Work is taken seriously. Most ice cream shops in America? High school kids messing around for beer money. Still expecting tips regardless of merit. There? It’s a livelihood. And money isn’t abundant in countries like that. Total was €7.40. I hand a €20 bill to the trainee. She starts looking for change, while the trainer starts cleaning. I knew I was leaving them a tip when I saw them working so diligently. So I turned to my girlfriend, who was looking away, and said “watch how they react.” I wanted my girlfriend to understand this. This is the perspective I grew up understanding. This is the reality that I grew up around, and saw first hand. Real life struggle. Where every “dollar” counts. Where you’re not THAT far from poverty. So I tell the girls: “To je za vas.” “That’s for you guys.” The trainer then grabs the €20 bill, all confused says: “Šta? “What?” I repeated it. They look at each-other. They smile. They look at me. Then start giggling and jumping. “Hvala! Hvala! Hvala puno!” “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!” What I tipped them that day, I spent today just parking my car. Perspective is key in life. Use it to stay grounded, on your best and worst days.

One of my goals this year is to meet people from X, in real life. Will be traveling here and there. Maybe I make an extra trip or two just to meet people from X. Fuck it. I’m rich now. Drop a reply with where you’re located and let’s see if we can get a good group together.👇🏼

No brainer for 2 post grad years vs going the medical school route and drowning in debt for decades. You’re basically a doctor, with less headache, less hours, and less liability. If you really want to bag chase as a PA and make $200-250k a year, that’s easily possible with side jobs or OT. As someone who’s seen it second hand, I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to get into the medical field.

Quick sales tip. If you need somebody’s email, look up the public company email on their website. Ex. ____ @ 123hvac . com Call reception and say: “Looking for [person’s name] email, he left me it on my voicemail but it cut out just before @ 123hvac . com.” Works every time.

For once in my life I have been indecisive. I can’t figure out what Porsche 911 to buy. It’s a good problem to have. I always come down to either a Black on Black 3.2/G-Series Targa or a newer 992. Two completely different routes. Being from a small town, the car I choose is somewhat of a big deal. It becomes part of my brand, locally. You see, no one around me has my kind of money. Most people are actually broke. Going the newer route is way more flashy, more in your face. Questions, envy, and gossip are inevitable. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone ends up keying my car, which makes me think I should probably wrap it if I go the newer route. Lol. Going the older route is less flashy, more intriguing, and genuinely what I’m leaning towards. Realistically speaking, less people will talk about it. Most won’t even know how much it cost. These are things I’ve been considering. If I’m being honest. I personally like the older style 911’s. The analog feel. The aesthetics. The story. The heritage. My girlfriend would prefer the vintage option. That’s her bag. She makes just under $200k a year and still prefers to shop at thrift stores. Lol. I know if it was up to her she would just want whatever draws the less eyeballs, which is fair. Up until tonight I was going to go the vintage route. That is until I considered the safety of the car. I am young after all, and have a lot of life to live. I want a family, and to live a long healthy life, God willing. As much as I dislike attention (I prefer to operate in the shadows). And as much as I like the idea of ripping through corners in a raw 1984 Porsche 911, top down, without a screen in sight. I know how I drive. I like to test my limits. Something in my gut tells me no ABS, no power steering, no airbags, and moronic NPC drivers all around me, is a recipe for disaster. Might seem counter intuitive that the faster, more powerful, newer models would actually make me feel safer. But they do. Do I trust some guy’s DIY brake job or steering column restoration? Not really. Do I trust the woman texting on her phone in her Tahoe veering into my lane? Hell no. Do I trust the capabilities of the newer sports car fresh off the factory in Stuttgart? Yes. Do I trust my driving abilities in any situation? 100%. Think the newer route is the better route for me. Fuck it. One day I’ll own a black on black vintage 911. Just not sure I’ll be doing it yet. 💰🚗💨🏁 P.S. I found this picture on Pinterest. Now part of my “manifest board”, a board which has never missed btw.
