I was on the internet before Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, made my first website in DOS 4.x while stores were still asking you if you wanted to purchase a b/w or color monitor.
Since I was a kid (14 years) from a familly often struggling with budget, asking my parents to pay for internet access and long distance charges were out of question. So at the age of 14, I registered my first business, register a toll free number in my room and started looking to make money, in any possible ways.
By the age of 15, I realized that making $3000 in a weekend was quite easy, if you followed a very simple rule. Since then , I travelled the world, sharing what I know about life and taking what people share with me. I've spend more than 15 years not looking at incomes, revenues of comfort, but taking decisions exclusively on learning how, what, who and why mostly around marketing, technology, psychology and data.
Most of what I can list as my education was acquired through Harvard lectures and great teachers, but where I have learned the most was through life lessons showing me how stupid and wrong I am when I assume that I know more about something then other people around me. I can do stuff others can't, not because I'm smarter but because these people wouldn't have any interests in doing these things. I still don't know how to keep a plant alive for more than three months, and have no license to drive because I can't properly routine tasks or follow rules.
