No money. No excuses. Just hustle, strategy, and $10,000 in your pocket.

🚨 What This Challenge Is:
- ✅ Actionable, step-by-step strategy
- ✅ Proven by real people with no money or connections
- ✅ Designed to hit $10,000 in 90 days using skills, tools & the internet
❌ What It’s Not:
- ❌ Get-rich-quick nonsense
- ❌ MLM or pyramid schemes
- ❌ Passive income with no effort

This is the Zero to $10K Challenge — and it starts now.
💡 The $10K Formula (Broken Down)
You don’t need 1,000 clients.
You need one of these to work:
- 💰 10 clients at $1,000
- 💰 20 clients at $500
- 💰 100 sales at $100
- 💰 1 digital product that sells 1,000 times for $10
It’s math — not magic.
Now here’s the 3-month roadmap that’s already worked for thousands of self-made entrepreneurs.
