From Self-Study to Software 💻: Chasing the $1M Dream 💰✨!
Follow my step-by-step journey and discover the strategies that could turn dreams into dollars!
I’m Theekshana From Sri Lanka, an 18-year-old self thought developer on a mission to create awesome things, learn new tech, and (hopefully) make $1M — starting from $0. Sounds bit crazy, right ? But that’s the goal, and I’m excited to share this journey with you!
How it All Started
So. I’ve been teaching myself how to code, build apps, and try out the latest tech for a while now, No fancy degrees or classes — it’s just me, my laptop, and a lot of Google searches! Oh, and AI helps me a lot, Whenever I get stuck or want to learn something new, I use AI tools to learn faster and experiment with cool tech. 😎
I Love building web apps, mobile apps, and micro SaaS projects. Some things I make just for fun, and some are experiments to try out new ideas.
The $0 to $1M Challenge 🏁
Here’s the big things: After My A/L exams, I’m starting a challenge to go from $0 to $1M by creating software, web apps, and micro SaaS projects. I’ll do part-time it field Online Jobs to pay for stuff like hosting and domains (because, sadly, the internet isn’t free 😪).
And here’s the fun part — every Sunday night, I’m going to update you on my balance for the challenge! Yep, I’ll show exactly how much (or how little 😂) I’ve made so far, whether it’s $0 or $10K. I think it’ll be fun to see the progress (or lack of) together.
Why This Blog Exists
This blog is going to be my digital diary.I’ll share:
Daily updates on what I’m working on — new tech I’m learning, cool projects I’m building, or just random fun experiments.
Weekly balance updates for the $0 to $1M challenge (every Sunday night — you don’t want to miss those!).
Project breakdowns — behind-the-scenes of how I build my web apps, mobile apps, and micro SaaS platforms. You’ll see all the successes (and the epic fails).
Life lessons — I’m 18, and I’m still figuring things out. From time management (trying to juggle A/L exam studies, part-time jobs, and projects) to staying motivated when things get tough, I’ll share everything.
Since English is my second language, I’m also using this blog to improve my writing skills, so if you catch any weird grammar stuff, just roll with it. We’re all learning here!
The Road to $1M Starts Soon 🛣️
My big goal is to create cool stuff, have fun, and make some money along the way. I know the $1M target is ambitious, but why not dream big? I’ll be building software, launching apps, and sharing everything I learn with you as I go.
Here’s the plan: After my A/L exams, I’ll officially kick off the $0 to $1M challenge and start tracking my progress. That’s when the real journey begins! Until then, I’ll be posting updates about my projects and sharing what I’m learning along the way.
If you want to follow this wild journey from $0 to $1M, stick around! I’ll post every day (or as often as I can) and keep it fun, real, and hopefully inspiring.
Thanks for being part of this — let’s build something awesome together!
Stay tuned for my first balance update after the challenge officially begins! 💸
