The year 2025 has been the most difficult in an entire lifetime, marked by unprecedented endurance and personal sacrifice. This account aims to counter the pervasive social media narrative of easy success, revealing the true hardships and unwavering effort required for significant achievement.
The current social media landscape often showcases only flashy lifestyles and easy success, prompting a desire to share the real, difficult experiences of the past 12 months to encourage others who feel inadequate in their own pursuits.
An entrepreneurial journey began with speculating on used cars and phones as a teenager in the United States, generating initial income.
Years were dedicated to finance and trading, described as one of the hardest endeavors, yet it was possible to achieve success and even make a million dollars in a good month with strategic effort, mentorship, and adequate risk management, placing one within the top 1% of traders.
Subsequent ventures included crypto investments and building a social media presence, both proving incredibly difficult; an initial crypto portfolio of $80,000 dropped to $35,000, and gaining a million followers over three years required creating over 10,000 pieces of content through sheer persistence.
Leveraging social media followers, an info business was established, generating millions of dollars by selling digital educational products; this endeavor, while successful, also presented significant challenges, requiring extensive A/B testing for launches and a large team of over 150 people operating across multiple languages and platforms.
Driven by an understanding of market needs and drawbacks of existing products, the decision was made to build a proprietary crypto exchange named Evidex, which took 18 months to develop and launched with a budget exceeding $7 million, up from an initial $3 million.
Building Evidex faces immense challenges, particularly solving liquidity, which requires tens of millions of dollars; to support this ambitious project, all profits from other businesses (ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per month) are reinvested, leading to 12-16 months of working 16 hours a day without personal income, enduring incredible stress while seeking advice and partnerships from industry billionaires.
Reflecting on these experiences, success is attributed not to luck but to relentless hard work, consistent pushing, and an unwavering commitment that overcomes anxiety and pain; genuine wealth is typically self-made through persistent effort, making it statistically improbable for such dedication not to yield results.
A niche should be selected, the belief that success comes easily should be rejected, and individuals must keep pushing so relentlessly that the universe, by probabilistic laws, is compelled to grant desired outcomes.
The only person who is going to make it is the person who is going to do so much that just by mathematical laws of probabilities is going to become improbable for him to not be successful.

| The 'Mathematical Certainty' of Success | True success arises from such an overwhelming amount of effort and dedication that, by the laws of probability, it becomes mathematically improbable for one not to succeed. |
