## Summary



## Transcript

So, the first thing I ever got paid for, before I thought of myself as an entrepreneur, was I made 30 pounds, which is about 40 US dollars, for making a website for my mate's stepdad. When I was around 12 years old, I decided I was going to learn how to do web design. I asked around my friends, and I was like, "Hey, does anyone know anyone who needs a website designed?" And I also emailed basically every single person who was on my Gmail contact list. And Stan replied being like, "Yeah, I need a website. How's 30 quid?" I was like, "Sure, amazing." And so, I made a really crappy-looking website for him, and he paid me 30 pounds, and that was the first time I realized, "Wait a minute, I can use a skill that I didn't have at the time." I learned the process of basic web design once I had landed that client after a little bit of tinkering. I can get paid to do something for someone else, even if I don't already know how to do the thing. And so, it was just like a real unlock in my brain that you can in fact just teach yourself to do stuff and get paid for it. That was like freaking life-changing.
