My Story
My name is Robin, and I was born and raised in Bavaria, Germany. After finishing school at 17, I started working in my dad’s IT company.
I liked the job, and I’ve made some terrific friends. I was around 18 years old, and I knew that I didn’t want to spend my life going from paycheck to paycheck, so I started looking for opportunities.
At the time, I was interested in Music Production and Audio Engineering. So I’ve built myself a tiny little home studio, and I spent all my free time producing music.
I loved music, so I started to look for a music career and eventually came across the SAE Institute in Munich, offering Audio Engineering and Music Production courses.
The only issue was that it is a private university and… let’s say it’s not cheap.
Taking out a loan was no option for me. I did not want to start my life by being in debt multiple thousands of dollars to get the education I wanted.
Luckily, my parents are the best! After talking to them, they said they would lay out the money upfront, and I could pay them back once I’ve got a stable income.
I was excited! I found something I could do, and I loved it!
However, as some of you may know, life can take unexpected turns.
And that’s precisely what happened. It was 2020, and COVID started. I thought: “Oh wow, now I can stay at home all the time and study remotely! How great!”
The first few months were great, but slowly I realized that I didn’t get what I wanted from the remote study.
The connections to other students were complicated, and the “Study Life” I imagined was nowhere in sight.
So after I completed my first semester, I quit.
Not knowing what I would do with my time and how I would get some money, I only had two options. I could either go back to work at my dad’s company or move to Portugal with my family.
Because, at the time, my family took a big step. They said Goodbye to Germany and moved to Portugal.
So I packed up my things and flew to Portugal.
The country is excellent and has some beautiful landscapes. The place my parents bought was far away from any major city, and it was rural and quiet. I liked it.
But soon I realized I was bored. Not that I didn’t have anything to do. It was a bunch of work managing the property, and my parents had big things in mind. So I helped them the way every good son would help their family.
I was born in 2001, so I saw the first iPhone, and I’ve been around ever since. So at 15 years, I started to dive deep into technology.
I had a fancy Computer, the brand new iPhone, and I spent a lot of time after school playing games with friends or hanging out on Social Media. Just like the majority of young people nowadays do.
While doing all those things with the technology in my hands, I started to see that a few people were making a lot of money, doing precisely what I was doing, just a bit different.
Then I started to do some research while I was in Portugal.
I read Rich dad Poor dad, The 4-Hour workweek, The Psychology of money, and I bought a lot of courses about Online Marketing and Business in general.
With all that knowledge and the technology in my hands, I now know what I would do with my life.
Well… I didn’t know what exactly. I just knew that I wanted to create some sort of online business, allowing me to work wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
That’s the backstory of this website. I took two things I was passionate about, Music and Technology, and combined them into this website.
Fast forward to 2022.
I’ve moved back to Germany to live with my girlfriend, and I now work at my dad’s IT Company again. What Irony, am I right?
I knew that this project I had going on wouldn’t make me a millionaire overnight. So I needed Income to survive, basically.
Now I am doing my best to build up my personal brand, this website, and I work full time in IT.
It’s not easy. But I am making progress and seeing that I am moving forward.
Is this where I thought I would be? No.
Is this where I want to be? No.
Am I on the right way leading me towards my goals? ABSOLUTELY YES!
I am 20 years young and have my whole life in front of me. I don’t know where I will be in 5 Years. And I don’t know if this website will ever make me enough money to live off.
But I know for sure that if I am not trying to get where I want to be and just accept my fate working 9 to 5, I will never get anywhere in my life.
I have one thing I am petrified of. And that’s being old and grumpy looking back at my life and saying: “Man… why haven’t you tried?”
So that’s what I’m doing right here. I am trying to get where I want to be! No matter what everyone else is saying or thinking. I will go my way!
In the end, I want to be thankful for the actions I took, and I want to be grateful that I dared to step out of my comfort zone and start acting.
Because If I am not going to try. How do I know if it would’ve worked or not? Exactly, I don’t!
That’s the story for now. I hope you liked it and If you’ve read this far, thank you!
In a few years, I will probably write this whole page again. And I will be happy that I started!
