I will add one grain of rice to this jar for every dollar I make.
My aim is to get to 1 million grains to complete this challenge.
I like to catalog my own self-improvement. Since I have been doing the same with my health and fitness, I figured why not catalog my Journey to One Million? As the name implies, I will be logging my journey to making $1,000,000 dollars. I will start recording my progress in August.
Why do I want to make $1,000,000?
I want to inspire others to work towards their financial freedom and the ease of mind it brings. I want to travel and experience the world, and live my life freely. I deeply want to help my friends and family out, and I ultimately, just want my time back. I feel like I wasted my twenties and didn’t accomplish or get the majority of the things I wanted. It’s not about lambos, mansions, or whatever. It’s about helping myself and others. Giving time, and ease of mine for myself, my health, my hobbies, my friends, and my loved ones.
I also realized that I have never seen a faceless YouTube financial journey video series. Only those guys who are on camera, so I want to inspire the video essayists out there.
What will the rules be? See this rice jar?
I add one grain of rice to a jar for every $1 I make.
I will consume it at the end of the challenge when I make $1,000,000.
In order for me to add a grain of rice to the jar
It has to go into my savings account
The reason why is when I make profit, I'm going to have to put some of it into my bank account or leave it in another account for tax purposes
I also might spend some of that money on monthly expenses or whatever else. It's taxed too obviously.
I will split up the video by how I make money
And of course note how it will benefit you
There will also be a subscriber count jar as well.
While it's easy to count money as it all ends up in one place
It's hard deciding how to count subscriber count, because I have multiple social media accounts
I have YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and Medium.
I might add ones as I come along, but right now, let’s focus on YouTube and Tiktok
So this subscriber jar represents the subscribers I have on the FastNao youtube channel

These will eat into the monthly total. Keep in mind that I’m not even counting my rent, loans, car bill, internet bill, taxes, and more for this. So what I make won’t fully go into the jar, so please keep that in mind.

Anyways, I’m excited to start this. I’m not sure how long it will take for me to reach my goal, but I want to document how long it will take a normal person with a full-time job, bills, and other engagements to make it to one million. So I hope to inspire you, give you insight, and to have you follow me on this journey.
