Recently Turned 18, On My Own Looking For Online Mentor!

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Trevor Grogitsky, Oct 15, 2016.

  1. #1
    Hey guys, the title says it all, I just turned 18 and over the week or so I have been kicked out of my house (This was going to happen). I have moved in with a friend and I have gotten on my feet again, I am job hunting right now and all I can tell you is that I KNOW I dont want to have someone telling me what to do and when to do it. I am looking to become successful on the internet and I am looking for financial freedom. I have talk to my grandpa about this, and he told me to sell his high-end log and timber homes and he would pay me commission. This opportunity could be my best bet to get my freedom and work on my own time. I want to make him a webpage, with a blog and all types of social media to promote the business. Seeing as I am so young and I have never done this before I was looking to get a mentor. My only online business experience is limited to the game Minecraft, where I ran servers and would profit off donations. Please if anyone is willing to help me it would greatly appreciated.

    Be careful, you appear to lack experience and would therefore be a scammers dream come true. Due diligence is what I advocate before you turn over any info to your new big hearted mentor, whose only desire is to help you. (help himself)

    You really don't appear all that experienced with online life.

    Did your attitude have anything to do with this? Do you think that you are coming across as someone that I or anyone else ought to help?

    Lol, no that is not the reason, I wasn't paying my parents "rent" so I was told I needed to leave.

    Even though I've never met them, I like your parents. They are teaching you that in life there is no free ride.

    No I can't because you have demonstrated defensiveness, and seem to want to contradict. You see a mind is like a parachute, it works better when it's open.;)

    You are very funny and couldn't be more wrong, I don't know how you were able to draw this conclusion from talking to me over a span of like 5 posts but that's your opinion. I hope someone more useful can come to the thread and help me out. :D

    This would involve a whole lot of work, setting you up, giving you contacts, teaching you etc. This site has thousands of regular members and tens of thousands that drop by on occasion. Yet none have ventured to help you. Why is this? It's because you don't even have enough $$$ to pay your parents rent. How can you afford to pay your mentor? I would require some $$$ upfront which clearly you don't have.
    Only scammers will contact you. When they do please refer to my 1st post on here.

    He's shown he has the money by being able to successfully move out - what he hasn't demonstrated is respect for his parents or (if they don't deserve respect) a recognition of the need to contribute now that he is a young man (I'm assuming gender)

    The reason I chose to move out and not pay them and too pay someone else is because my parents were never really my parents. I lived with my grandmother, so I didn't have the desire to stay there with them anyways. They adopted a child and that became their child not me, I resent that I guess so I chose to do what I did.

    You don't need a mentor, you need a good work ethic.

    In your original post you stated that you "were kicked out". Now you are changing the story. Are we to presume from this that you are a deceiver? I wish your mentor (if you get one) good luck with you.

    You nitpick everything, they kicked me out because I didn't pay them, it was my choice too leave if I didn't want to pay them, I could have paid them and stayed.
