I had €72 to my name when I got on a call that changed everything.

Let me say that again:

Seventy-two euros. Total.

And I’d already spent €48.24 of it on cold email tools, betting on myself when I had almost nothing left to bet.

I’m in Greece. No safety net. No rich parents. No backup plan.

Just me, a PC, and this belief that I could build something real.

For two years I was grinding, trying business models, failing, learning, repeating.I made some money here and there… but nothing scalable.Nothing predictable.Nothing that felt like a real breakthrough.

I was tired of duct-taping YouTube information together and praying it would somehow become a system. So I did something uncomfortable:

I booked a clarity call, not because I had the money, but because I needed some direction.

On that call, here’s what hit me:

I had been trying to sell an outcome I hadn’t achieved yet. I had an offer about “scaling businesses to $50K/month”… but I'd never scaled anything to $50K/month myself 🤦‍♂️

@Ian Kirk

didn't sugarcoat it. He said: "That's difficult, man. Just to be completely transparent."

And honestly? I needed to hear that. → That was a punch I needed.

He broke down exactly what I was doing wrong: → No clear ICP → Overcomplicating my offer → Building a job, not a business.

Then he told me something that I've never heard before in those 2 years:

“Never state your price first. Let them tell you what the outcome is worth.”

And something stuck in my mind " You don’t win by collecting more free information. You win by collapsing time and learning from people who’ve already walked the path."

I left that call with something better than money:

✓ Clarity ✓ Direction ✓ A simple plan ✓ A system to master ✓ And a reason to stop drifting

Since then, I’ve gone all-in on what actually moves the needle.

→ Everything I’m building right now comes from that decision.

If you’re sitting where I was, low on money, high on ambition, wondering if you should bet on yourself…

This is your sign.

One conversation can shift your entire trajectory.

I’m early in the journey, which means I have to work 10x harder to achieve anything. And that's what I am going to do.

If you’re building something similar or just starting out, I’d love to connect, learn, and share progress together.

Shoutout to Lead Gen Jay’s team for the push I needed.

Let’s Grow Together. 🚀
