In my second year of uni, I dropped out of accounting. Then I joined an MLM for 9-10 months.

I had a lot of friends avoid me during that period. But I managed to make enough money to quit and raise enough capital to do what I really wanted: Gold farming in World of Warcraft.

I bought 10-15 computers to mass farm in-game "gold" currency using different user accounts on the site. We were doing well for ourselves... but one day, all our accounts were suddenly shut down.

I lost all my money and had to sell the computers off. I hit rock-bottom, and even had to work for Henessy as a promoter. That was when I decided to turn my life around.
