How to start when you’re completely lost
“Just start.”
That’s the advice you hear everywhere, right?
Motivational videos, reels, tweets…
Even my last email had a bit of that energy 😅
But they fail to explain how to start.
What do I mean by this? You ask…
Let me explain by my own example:
2 years ago, I left my country, came to Germany.
Like everyone else, I was desperate to make some money.
Since I couldn’t speak any German, I was too scared to work in a “real job”,
And I hated the idea of working a stinky job anyway 😂
So, I looked up online, “how to make money online”
You can imagine what came up:
dropshipping, crypto, Amazon FBA, 200 other things.
But I liked one of them the most: Copywriting.
And maybe you’re in that exact same spot now.
So I searched again: How do I start copywriting?
And what did I get?
Clickbait. "$10K/month!" screenshots. “Buy my course” BS.
But never the actual how.
After months and months of trying and failing,
Watching 100s of videos,
I think I’ve figured out the best way to start anything new👀
And it is… 🥁🥁🥁
Be empty
What?!! What are you talking about, Aryan?
This is what you’re probably thinking.
And I know it sounds like those cheesy kung fu movie quotes,
But let me explain:
Emptiness is what you use…
For example,
Things like cups, drawers, and your water bottle are only useful when empty.
The same goes for your brain.
If you’re full of junk info, fear, or second-guessing… you’ll never move forward.
Empty yourself. Make space. Then fill it with the right knowledge.
And that’s when you take action.
Now, if you’re ready to actually do this the right way...
I’ve made a free resource that gives you the exact roadmap I wish I had:
The books you need to read,
The videos you need to watch,
And the practice you need to do

Hope this helps you the way I wish someone had helped me.
See you in the next one,
Aryan.
