The Unexpected Starting Point

At 17, Tim Ryan made a decision that would shape his entire future: investing $45 in a PDF about making money. While most teenagers might have dismissed this as a risky purchase, Tim recognized something profound: "Most people spend tens of thousands of dollars going to college. What is $45? It's a drop in the bucket."

This early insight revealed two fundamental principles that would guide his success:

1. The power of mentorship

2. The importance of investing in premium guidance
