I built a business from $0 → $400K/yr

Now I want to see if I can build a $1M portfolio

Starting point: $15K

I’ll share every buy, sell, win, mistake, and thesis along the way

I’m adding capital as I go and tracking my returns against the S&P 500

$15K → $1M

Starting today

@MediaKing I don’t agree
