2025 is coming to an end… and honestly, this year has been wild. At the start of this year, I was just a 17-year-old kid with no real skills — just a promise to myself that I’d learn something valuable and start earning before the year ends. So I started as a crazy kid with crypto trading. Lasted a month.When I finally tried investing, I realized I had only $5–10 saved from two months… lost that too. 💀 Then came the “trying everything” phase — affiliate marketing, content creation, digital products, animation — all failed. But I didn’t stop. In May, I found Python. At first, it was like reading alien language — I wasn’t technical at all. But I stayed consistent, learned from YouTube and ChatGPT, and within 5–6 months, I could build web scraping and automation projects. Saved $20, bought connects on Upwork, and tried to get my first client…But no reviews = no jobs. Lost connects and even hope. Still didn’t quit. After high school, I joined college and along with continued learning Agentic AI — LangChain, LangGraph, and all that good stuff — while keeping top grades. But deep down, something felt off… I wasn’t moving closer to my goal. Due to financial issues, I left college and went all in on AI + automation.Built RAGs, agents, automations — then discovered n8n, and it instantly clicked. Now I can build AI automations using Python + n8n, and I’m still learning every single day. I haven’t landed clients yet, but realised one things that I’ve already won in mindset.I’m not the same kid who just dreams — now this kid can make not everything but something valuable for someone. I still get demotivation thoughts to give up but i always go alone and said WHY I STARTED and it fuels me 🔥 over all it taught me something: ***JOURNY DO NOT TAKES YOU TO SOMEWHERE INSTEAD IT MAKE S YOU SOMEONE*** Let me know if any body is similar here. or I can help someone so he help me in achieving my goal.
