Million Dollar Comeback

Mike Black writes…

[Six months ago] I left behind everything I own, the money I’ve earned, my entire network, stepped away from my seven figure business, and I took on a new identity and went homeless. I set out to make $1 million in 12 months starting with nothing aside from one pair of clothes and a cellphone. I had no place to live.

The purpose of the project was to help people going through a tough time because of the pandemic. I noticed a lot of people were reinventing themselves and it was an opportunity to help those going through that situation.

Six months in, Mike has made “a very underwhelming $28,000” which I’d argue is still very impressive.

He’s mainly made money doing freelance VA and marketing work, subletting an apartment, and via an ecommerce coffee brand he started ☕️

Check out his YouTube video where he documents taking the leap from freelance to agency…

From the 7:40 mark there you’ll see how he sells a $25/hour client on a $2000/month retainer, aiming to outsource the retainer work.
