My Story
Hint: I've failed a LOT
There are a lot of you that have joined this list recently and I wanted to properly introduce myself and share a bit of my story.
Before we do, I now run an Ecom Email Marketing Agency so if you run an Ecom brand and want help with your emails book a call here: https://calendly.com/lachie-newland/discovery
My online business journey is largely thanks to my Mother.
I was about 16 when she dragged me along to some property investing night. Looking back I realise that event was just a lead magnet to sell their property investing coaching.
That night opened my eyes to the entire world of passive income, and an alternate path to generating wealth outside of your job.
For context, I went to a good school where it’s just normal to go to University and study to get a good job.
At that stage I hadn’t worked a job at all. I was either at school or training (I played Cricket growing up).
That seminar got me hyped.
The problem was…
I had no money at all. That makes it pretty difficult to get into real estate.
So that lead me to doing something that I’m sure everyone reading this has done before.
I went to YouTube and typed in “How to make money online”.
That started an obsession over the next 12 months of consuming content.
Dropshipping, real estate, and affiliate marketing videos mainly.
From there, my journey looked something like this:
Affiliate when I was 17
2x drop-shipping stores when I was 18
IG Growth SMMA when I was 19
MLM when I was 20
Drop shipping when I was 21
Freelancing when I was 22 (this didn’t really fail, it just kind of morphed into what I’m doing now)
I'm 23 now. MVP Marketing (my agency) is the 7th 'business' I've tried since I was 18.
It took 7 attempts for me to have a real breakthrough.
A long way to go, I still feel like I’m failing most days.
Learned so many skills and lessons along the way.
Please reply to this email and let me know if this resonates with your story.
Much love,
