My Journey Towards Financial Freedom

Welcome to my personal narrative, chronicling the path I've traversed on my quest for financial liberation. In this journey, I share the trials, triumphs, and pivotal moments that have shaped my understanding of wealth and propelled me towards greater financial autonomy. Join me as I unveil the lessons learned, strategies employed, and the transformative power of intentional financial planning. This is more than a story of financial conquest; it's an exploration of resilience, resourcefulness, and the pursuit of a life unbound by financial constraints. Let's embark together on this enlightening voyage towards financial freedom.

I’ll try to keep this section as brief as possible.

My journey to financial freedom was quite perilous at first. Probably simply because I wasn’t ready and was looking for a way to get rich first. From a very young age, I wanted to be financially independent, not wanting to be a burden on my parents. So I managed to make a small income on my own from high school onwards. Because of my upbringing, which instilled in me the value of money and hard work, but also because I wanted to, I always did what was necessary to buy what I wanted by working. I did several small jobs as a student during the summer, and I quickly realized that being a salaried employee was absolutely not for me. With this in mind, once I graduated (2018), I set out to find a way to achieve my goal of financial freedom.

So I started buying training courses and reading books on personal development. I then started with E-commerce, following the trend at the time. I took training courses, set up stores and tried to earn a living. I didn’t feel particularly motivated by this activity and always had a hard time trying to find trinkets to sell for 5 times their purchase price. With this in mind, and the “failure” of this chapter, I had to find a new way of doing things. At the same time, I cleaned a restaurant every morning at 5 a.m. to support myself. I also always watched a lot of videos and read about financial freedom. Trading had always interested me, especially when I was studying economics in high school, and seemed like a good way to achieve my goals.

Then, one day, a friend came to see me and told me he’d found a new way to make money. An MLM trading solution.

Of course, I saw an opportunity!

So I started “learning” trading that way. Of course, the initial solution wasn’t a very good idea. Ponzis never work for very long. In short, I left this “company” and the MLM, but in the meantime, I’d fallen in love with trading. So I stopped cleaning and for almost a year I swallowed the training courses and tried my hand at it. Every day, 7/7, I got down to the task. After 1 and a half years, my results weren’t crazy, I was more or less at equilibrium and the only time I really performed was during the pandemic when I simply shorted all the indices. During this period, I also lost a lot of money through various scams. Copy trading, or even trusting certain telegram groups. Don’t be blind, anyone who promises you huge quick gains will simply end up stealing from you.

Ps: that didn’t stop me from being scammed at least 5 times before I really got into it…

But the lesson is learned. After all, it’s also these experiences that forge and enable me today to have sufficient hindsight on certain entrepreneurial aspects. Almost 2 years passed, and my savings were almost completely depleted, so I had to find another job to support myself. So I started working again, alongside my father as a driver, and found a job as a salesman in a petrol station at the same time.

Although I hadn’t lost out by trading, I realized that I was struggling to get results. I’m still passionate about it, but I’m seriously wondering whether trading is really what I want to do. During this period, as I have to work, I have less time to devote to my personal activities. My “trader” profile is gradually turning into a more long-term investor profile. As I began to take an interest in trading through this MLM company, I also discovered the world of crypto-currency. I really don’t know much about it, but the gamble seems worth the risk. It’s now 2020, and I decide, somewhat blindly, to invest a few pennies in crypto. As time goes by, I don’t really care about the few dollars I’ve put into crypto, but I’m still a bit curious and watch a few videos from time to time. Then Bullrun arrived, during which I made a very fine performance and capital gain. It’s only after the bullrun that I really start to get interested in the technology behind blockchain.

As I learned more and more about this technology, I literally fell in love with it and decided to devote myself to it. So I decided not to delve any deeper and persist in trading, even though I still use this knowledge and still trade, just on a much less regular basis. I then decided to launch an X account (e.g. twitter) on which I would first share crypto analyses, gradually evolving into content more specific to NFTs, Web3 gaming, and any crypto subject in which I had an interest.

I’ve been developing this account for over 2 years now, and take great pleasure in writing and sharing my knowledge. Although the bearmarket has made a comeback and the sector isn’t necessarily very interesting any more, I continue to create content and grow my account. For the first time, I feel in tune with what I’m doing and I’m enjoying it immensely. My journey continues as we speak, and I invite you to discover more in the crypto section of this website. Little by little, I’m winning my first contracts and partnerships with projects and managing to generate some income from this activity. It’s at this point that I realize that people really appreciate my work and that it’s possible to generate income from this activity. It’s an important step for me, because I’ve concretized and integrated in my brain that it’s possible, that I’ve found one of the recipes that suits me.

Alongside content creation, I continue to apply a basic investment strategy, taking advantage of the market downturn. One objective: the bullrun will return, and when it does I’ll have to be ready. To be continued! That’s probably why I’m launching this website today. Over the past 2 years of creating content, I’ve realized that I might be able to help some people. I’ve been working out and developing my mindset for 10 years, and I’d like to help others benefit from my knowledge in these areas.

From my activities as a crypto investor and content creator, I recently took things to the next level by becoming a member of a crypto-real estate project, at home in Switzerland. It’s an exciting new challenge that represents an exceptional opportunity for me, and one that I’ll be doing my utmost to turn into a great success.

Everything remains to be done, but this project now represents a major pole in the tools I’m putting in place to achieve my financial freedom. I invite you to take a look at the Infinity Project section for more information. Nonetheless and in continuation to this website release, I want to go further on educational stuff. That’s why we found the AuctusCryptoClub, soon to be live, where you’ll find courses to learn trading and investing. 
I’m in charge of the investing and general mindset-health-workout stuff, Leonard is leading the trading section. I can only invite you to check it out in the ACC section if you are interested! 

Here we are again… Although my objectives have not yet been fully achieved, I think I’m well on the way to getting there. It took me over 5 years to find out what I wanted to do and what really suited me. Maybe that’s a long time, maybe it’s a short time, I’m not sure, but one thing I am sure of is that this is the way my life was meant to evolve.

One thing’s for sure, the road can be long, which is why I believe it’s imperative to have clear goals, but also to have the necessary mindset to withstand adversity and the obstacles that lie ahead.

And you know what? This site has a special section for that purpose! Go here

As long as you don’t give up, you don’t really fail.

In short, the purpose of the finance section of this website is also to share my journey with you, and to see how far it’s all going to take me. As I said, the goals are still to be reached, but what could be better than a good series showing the way, my way, to my financial freedom!

These are just the things I put in place and the sharing of my experiences. Always DYOR and do your due diligence work.
