Before we start...

We need to talk about Wolf Financial.

WOLF worked at Goldman Sachs and has hosted 5,000 hours of space and he provides 14,000 subscribers with FREE investment insights.

Whether it’s the Monday and Friday Newsletter providing direct links to all financial spaces, the Sunday newsletter where @AcetheKidTA dives deep into specific stocks, or the Wednesday newsletter offering specific tips and tricks for investing, Wolf Financial has you covered.

This is one of those newsletters you can't afford to miss out on.

Let’s begin:

1) My Back Story

Highlights (and lowlights) about who the heck Clifton Sellers is:

• Grew up in Level Plains, Alabama

• Lost mom to cancer before age 8

• Found out I was adopted a year later

• Battled with drugs, alcohol, and depression

• Started playing football and it saved my life

• Ended up starting at Center for 3 years in college

• Went on to get 3 degrees (final was a EdD)

• Started my corporate climb in fundraising

• Moved 3 times and eventually became a VP

• Realized that I was unhappy with the life I built

• Started a Twitter account

That got me to August of 2021 and then I went through 6 months of Pain

2) 6 months of Pain

This is the part of the story that sucks when you're in it, but was important.

When I started I had no clue what I was doing.

So I was an easy target...

I tried:

• Affiliate Marketing

• Amazon FBA

• eBay reselling

• E-commerce

• Digital Products

I actually lost money and had no clue what to do. I was in beginner’s hell.

This would've been an ideal time to quit (but I was staring at debt and a corporate ladder that wasn't going to give me the life I really wanted).

So I marched on.

3) Ah-Ha Moment

I messaged everyone who was ahead of me online and made real money.

The same piece of advice kept coming up:

You have an amazing story and unique view, lean into that.

So, I did…

At that point, I still had less than 8k followers and decided to focus on writing.

The next 6 months looked like this:

• Writing a thread every day

• Going from 8k followers to 100k+

• Started working as a writer for Dakota Robertson

• He helped me launch my own offer and sign clients

• Finally realizing my path to business in launching and scaling Legacy Builder

So for those keeping score at home…

It took 12 months to get to the point where I had a way to make money.

In part two I am going to break down:

4) Content Engine

5) The Shift

6) What's Next?

This will show how I scaled, going all in and stepping up professionally, and our roadmap.

Stay tuned for our next email on Monday!

Until next time... Keep building,

Clifton
