My Story

Looking back, high school was great and terrible. It was fun, but I definitely just didn’t enjoy it.

I’ve always been the type to care way too much about what other people think. Up until recently I always made decisions based on what other people wanted me to do which ultimately led me to the party scene.

Partied a lot, drank a lot, but since then I literally hate all of that stuff. I’m not big on partying at all, not big on alcohol at all, hate smoking weed, overall I feel the best when I can function the best.

Being a people pleaser, I always had a ton of friends from a ton of different friend groups. I was really good friends with “popular” kids, and super cool with all the “weird” kids. I just always wanted everyone to be happy.

I myself was always a very happy and optimistic person as well. Almost to the point where friends used to make fun of me for always being happy.

However, overall I honestly don’t even talk to any of those friends anymore. I have since outgrown my people pleaser attitude and don’t really care to continue relationships with people if I feel I’m not getting any value out of that relationship.

My relationship with Christ is the most important aspect of my life. Forget all the money, forget the coaching, forget tiktok, forget the world. If Christ isn’t at the center of it for me, I’ve lost everything.

I grew up in the Church but as any kid, kinda hated it and never actually liked going. Completely stopped going to church in high school and got caught up doing all the high school things. People pleasing, going to parties, football games, drinking etc. Thought I was having fun at the time, but looking back, I was miserable and so empty.

I never would have renounced my faith, but I definitely was not living out my faith. It led me to the summer after my senior year of high school right before I was going to go to college. After an encounter with my friends who didn’t believe in God, I decided I was going to seek out all the answers I could about God and what is real.

I heavily got into apologetics (the study of defending the religious faith and answering the “hard questions” the related). During college I found that there were answers to all of these questions I had about God such as “If God is perfect why does evil exist?” or “how do we know for sure that God is real?” All of these questions that most “Christians” don’t dare question or answer, I found the answers. I also found that all of these questions have very logical and seemingly perfect explanations as well.

My conclusion is that most people are simply naive and choose not to seek out answers because they want to be the “god” of their life. They don’t want to “submit” their life for a higher purpose and simply want to live their life separate from God.

I also had this “Gospel awakening” I like to call it. Basically when I truly understood the gospel. That we humans were granted free will by God to choose good or evil and often choose evil. That God’s design for us and “rules” for us are simply in place for our flourishing and that when we live by them, we are truly set free because it keeps us out of trouble. Similar to a parent's rules for their children to not eat icecream for breakfast. However, because we constantly fall short and sin, the penalty of sin is eternal separation from God, not because God wants to be separate from us, but because we ourselves choose to live separate from Him. Therefore, why would He force us to live in eternity with Him, if we simply don’t want to? As we fall short and continue to sin (live our lives separate from God) we do not even deserve to live in unity with God. God now has this wrath on sin for corrupting the creation that needs to be dealt with (similar to a judge condemning a person to prison for their crimes). Therefore, we are unable to justify ourselves or live a life that will “make up” for our sin. God then came down in the flesh, Jesus Christ, to live a perfect life and not deserve to die. However, since Jesus was killed, it was a sacrifice that paid for the punishment that we deserved. Now, when we face the judgment of God, we cannot bring up our church attendance, or our donations to charity, or our good deeds, but all we can say is “God, don’t look on me for I have done nothing that will allow me to enter your kingdom, however, look upon Jesus, for he lived the perfect life I should have lived. He died the death that I deserve. Don’t justify me because of my life, but because of His.”

This has gotten long, however, if you have gotten this far and have any questions at all about God, Jesus, Christianity, or just religion in general, please don’t hesitate to ask. I will always drop everything I’m doing for the Kingdom of Christ. I believe all questions are valid and all questions should be answered. Above everything, if I can help you with your relationship with God, that’s all I really care about.

Everyone has a deep desire for something that this world cannot satisfy. Many will try to fill it with various things: money, alcohol, drugs, power, sex. However, nothing will ever fully satisfy. All that will, is a relationship with Christ.

“If I find myself with a desire that this world cannot satisfy, the most likely explanation is that I was meant for another world” - C.S. Lewis

I initially got into crypto currency when I was in high school when everyone else was talking about Bitcoin. I got in on Bitcoin and ethereum at the time and literally just diamond handed it until my freshman year of high school. I was broke when I initially invested so I think I only put in around $200. However, that turned into around $1500 by my freshman year of college. This was my first experience making money passively and online. It felt GREAT.

I then got into NFTs heavily after my sophomore year of college. I bought into so many different projects and invested a lot of my crypto into it. However, after some bad mints, a few rugged projects, and some terrible paper handing… I probably exited the NFT space even lol. Just a lot of wasted time, however, it was a great experience.

I then started getting into trading meme coins on solana. It was a great time. Felt like gambling and seemed a lot easier and faster than NFTs. My brother was in space and was doing really well, especially the FNF he was in. All those guys are millionaires now lol. However, after some bad trades, a few rugged pump.funs, and realizing sitting at my desk 12 hours a day wasn’t for me, I exited the meme coin space down 2 sol lol.

Overall great experiences, some fun moments, however, not for me.

My parents have joined a handful of network marketing “MLM” companies. These are basically the “pyramid scheme” companies that people always talk about. I personally don’t love them, but I also don’t have a problem with these companies.

I actually attempted to pursue one back in December of 2022 until April of 2023. I went hard. I came up with an entire blueprint of how I was going to recruit people and sell products in a completely different way than anyone has ever done it before. It was going very well for a while too. However, the company I was a part of pretty much only consisted of supplement products for women.

That aspect made it really difficult to sell products. However, It went well and I got a taste of what it’s like to coach people and teach them how to make money online. I loved it.

I’ve never been opposed to mentorship. I was opposed to courses though. Always hated them. However, I invested in a mentorship program back in March of 2024 for ecommerce and dropshipping. I had tried before, but drop shipping can be super difficult for a complete beginner. Not worth it. So, I ended up investing $5k in a mentorship program that I definitely did not have. Did I do it to learn dropshipping? No. I couldn’t care less about what the content was. I simply wanted to bet on myself, and surround myself around a network of like minded people. I will never regret this.

I always knew that I was going to succeed no matter what I did, I just needed to find it. One thing I’ve learned is to never rely on other people. Put things in your control so that the blame is on you if you don’t succeed. With this, I knew that my mindset alone was going to lead to success. Did it help with drop shipping? No. lol. But we’ll get to that later. However, my mindset with the mentorship wasn’t “hopefully I didn’t blow $5k” it was “even if it takes me years, I’m going to make that $5k worth it.” If you go into something with a terrible mindset that “hopefully I can get a refund” you already lost because you’re counting yourself out. Make it inevitable that you succeed. I remember at the time thinking $5k was so much money, now, it’s just my credit card bill or invoice to my agency. Money is relative. Alter your relativity on how much is “a lot” and you will make more of it.

Believe it or not, although I failed, I loved drop shipping. It was simply fun. Product research, building websites, building funnels, creating ads, running and scaling ads, all very fun. However, my ads sucked and I knew it. I also didn’t have the capital to outsource the creatives either. So it was either I got a job to continue testing terrible ads, or I pivoted and tried something else.

At this time is also when I found a tiktok shop and affiliate marketing through the same mentorship program I was in for drop shipping.

The absolute Goat. Nikita was a coach in the mentorship program that I was in. He entered the program as a coach around a month into me being in the program. At the time, he was the only tiktok shop coach in this program and he was absolutely killing it. He had done well with drop shipping and tiktok shop sellers, however, he found that tiktok shop affiliation (shop for creator) was simply so much easier and a lot of money could still be made. He averaged around $20k a month with tiktok shop affiliate when he first entered as a coach.

At the time, no one wanted to do tiktok shop except for me so when I joined his calls it was basically just me and him the entire call. He taught me everything I know and encouraged me every step of the way. I got two accounts banned and he was the one that personally helped and bought me an account with over 5k followers which is the same account I use today @leondilann that I’ve made over $120k on as of October 2024. He was even the one that told me to start running my first viral product “The Good and Beautiful Bible Study” which I now have one video at over 12 million views, and another over 4 million views.

Nikita tragically passed away in a freak accident in June of 2024.

I owe and attribute all of my success to Nikita. I’m grateful to God that I had the opportunity and privilege of knowing him.

Nikita, I now pray that I can do for others what you did for me.

I love Tiktok Shop. The products have kinda sucked but it has led me to where I’m at. If it wasn’t for tiktok shop I wouldn’t know probably 70% of the people I talk to on a regular basis now. I would probably be working a 9-5 marketing job and hating life lol.

I started with tiktok shop affilaite April of 2024. I kinda hated it at first and didn’t want to show my face. I ended up figuring out how to make some banger faceless and voiceless videos strictly because I was insecure and cared about what other people thought about me.

At first I was only making trash slideshow tiktoks with a product link and expected them to hit. However, I literally got a single sale on my first tiktok shop video and it felt insane. I will always remember exactly where I was when I got that first sale. It was only like $1 commission but it was money that I made from creating a dumb little tiktok post. It was surreal.

I had two accounts get banned because of a “loophole method” that allowed people to get access to the affiliate program with less than 5k followers. Lost access to probably around $500 in commissions which to me at the time was a lot lol. But I didn’t let that stop me. I finally bought an account with over 5k followers with the help of my coach Nikita and grinded.

All I did for the next few months was make tiktok videos. They were bad but I was learning with the help of my coach. I also became obsessed with the process. I knew that I was just one video away from hitting the jackpot so I thrived on that. On my new account I averaged around $150 for the first 2 weeks, May 5 - 19. On May 19th I only made $53 and was mad because it was a terrible day relative to previous days. The very next day on May 20th one of my videos that I had posted on May 7th went viral and I made $823 in one day. From May 20th-May 31st I made $8k. I finished May after 3 weeks with $9.7k.

The very next month in June I made $40.1k. Had more videos go viral, had a few days over $3k, and a week over $15k. This is when I saw the true potential in tiktok shop. Since then I have now made total over $120k in 6 months of doing tiktok shop. It’s a crazy feeling.

Now, what I want to do is help people and fully transition to coaching for a few reasons.

1. I helped my brother make $4k in his first week of doing tiktok shop and fell in love with helping people.

2. To make more money

The second reason sounds like a terrible reason and I constantly get the question “why are you coaching if tik tok is going so great?”

Simple, to make more money while helping people. I’ve seen people do insane numbers on tiktok such as $10k months, to even $100k months. However, I’ve seen people do insane numbers coaching such as $100k months to even $1 million months. See the difference? Yea I’ve done $40k/month with tiktok, but it will be the same difficulty if not easier to hit $400k/month with coaching. I’m now also helping people make the same “insane numbers” with tiktok that I was making so it’s a win-win.

You always have to evolve and continue trying new things or else you’re not growing. Once you learn how to do something really well, pivot to something else to make even more money.

I fully believe that my coaching is literally perfect. I am so confident in my coaching that if someone truly applies themselves and implements what I tell them, they will be successful in tiktok. Which is why I literally have a contractually binding agreement that if someone enters my program and doesn’t find success after three months of actually trying, I will literally just give them their money back.

I have found a passion in coaching. I started coaching in June with one of my friends who made $5k in his first month, then in July when I helped my mom make $6k with tiktok shop affiliate. Then with my brother in August when I helped him make $4k in his first week. This brought me to extend my coaching to others in which I’ve helped every student who has joined make money in my program as of typing this in October of 2024.

If you apply yourself and actually want to make money in Tiktok, you literally will make money. Simple as that. I hope I can help you, and if not, I wish you all the best in your journey of online money!
