In the aftermath of the student loan moratorium ending, I watched the internet erupt with chaos. Garnished wages. Defaulted accounts. Credit scores plummeting into the 400s. People who had done everything “right”—college, degrees, jobs—were suddenly unraveling, staring down debts they could never bankrupt, barely understanding how they got here.
And all I could think was, I saw this coming.
In 2016, I dropped out of college after 2 years.
While everyone else cruised down the default path—pilling on debt, bullshitting in dorms, acting like retards, collecting diplomas—I opted out. Not because I was smarter. Not because I had a backup plan. I had no plan B. But because I thought deeper. I asked the questions no one else wanted to face: What if this degree is worthless? What if I’m borrowing money I can’t ever pay back? What if the system isn’t broken—what if it’s working exactly as designed? To enslave you.
They laughed. They called me lazy. Said I’d be nothing without a degree. That I’d regret it.
“When are you going back to school?”, they asked me condescendingly.
But time has a ruthless way of revealing who was actually thinking, who had foresight and who was a sheep walking naively into the slaughterhouse.
Fast forward to 2025. I’m not rich. Not yet. But I’ve built a system that will make me rich. And that’s something most people will never have.
I don’t say this to brag, it’s just the grim reality.
The people who mocked me are now trapped in financial prisons. $100K+ in student loans, <500 credit scores, and no way out. The train is leaving the station, and most of them are on the wrong platform, still wondering how it all went wrong.
Meanwhile, I’m standing at the door of a path they can’t even see.
At the cusp of success, ready to scale to the motherfucking moon.
Retail arbitrage isn’t supposed to be the glamorous path. It’s messy. Chaotic at times. But in that chaos, I found clarity. And more importantly, I found control. Concepts the online arbitrage geeks on X and YouTube know little about.
I remember walking back and forth between storage units, forgetting items, wasting hours. No SKU system. No inventory tracking. Receipts shoved in boxes. Constant fear of missing something. It was inefficient and time-consuming. Most people would’ve quit or moved on to something easier. And they did. Telling others online, “Arbitrage isn’t scalable. It’s not a real business. Get into private label ASAP.” like the give-up artists they are. But I knew there was a way. Anything others have accomplished, I can accomplish as well.
So I built one.
Now, my warehouse runs with extreme precision. Every item has a location. Every SKU is tracked. Every expense is categorized. I ship faster. I list quicker. I turn inventory like clockwork. Systems replaced stress. Structure replaced chaos.
Time to market collapsed, and my cash flow skyrocketed.
And the best part? No one can just copy this. You can’t buy it. You have to build it.
It requires ideas, thinking, strategy.
Not just plug and play bullshit like Tactical Arbitrage where you think a software will make you rich.
You think about every possible thing that can go wrong, and build systems to cover every outcome.
You reduce the possibility of errors to zero, you make it brainless so even a retard could fill in your shoes. Like Amazon, like Walmart.
You have to go through the fire to earn the clarity. This is a barrier to entry, only those who are willing to do the work can achieve for themselves. You can too.
Most people want the path of least resistance. I walked the path of most precision.
That’s what they don’t tell you about success. It’s not about luck. Or shortcuts. Or following trends. It’s about thinking deeper than the herd. Building systems where others build excuses. Failing more so you can fail less later.
Years ago in college, I read the books no one assigned: Brian Tracy, Napoleon Hill. I failed countless times. But I failed forward. Now, I look around and realize:
I haven’t made it yet. But it’s inevitable at this point.
And if you’re someone out there feeling stuck, overwhelmed, drowning in a system designed to keep you enslaved, understand this:
You don’t need a perfect plan. You need precision. You don’t need a degree. You need courage to follow your own path. You don’t need approval. You need systems.
Most importantly, you need to take action to turn these strategies into reality, one day at a time.
Warehouse Monk Mode: Sharpening the Blade
Recently, I locked myself in the warehouse. No sourcing. No distractions. For 33 days straight, I didn’t leave. I entered what I now call warehouse monk mode.
Sales absolutely tanked. Not because I was failing—but because I refused to move forward with a broken, pathetic setup.
Instead of pouring money into immediate flips, I was investing heavily into infrastructure that would allow me to scale to unimaginable heights in the coming years.
I ruthlessly attacked my death pile. I either listed it, threw it in the trash or donated it. No exceptions. I refused to list until I completely locked down my systems. Every SKU had to make sense. Every step of the process had to flow effortlessly. Every label, every bin, every shelf, every product had to be accounted for. My entire system (or lack of a system) before was a complete joke—scattered inventory, no structure, sloppy processes. Pathetic.
Most people would’ve panicked as sales dropped. But I knew I was doing what the other guy wouldn’t. I wasn’t swinging blindly—I was sharpening the knife. Like the man who waits patiently while the other hammers away endlessly with a dull blade. And then, with one clean strike, I cut it all down. Meanwhile, he’s still trying to make it work with his useless knife.
When I stepped back into the light, the system was ready. And when I listed again, my sales exploded. The results were instant. The warehouse became a military base. A machine.
I began sourcing again. This was akin to pouring oil into a fire.
I didn’t build this system for today. I built it for war.
And now I’m ready to scale to levels previously unimaginable.
It’s time you do the same.
This is great to hear. I just got a warehouse and am doing the same. Congrats. Hard work is paying off!
