These peeps (mostly) succeeded and stopped being broke - read their stories!

Short version - I was studying programming and got pretty good at some niche stuff that was in demand. I was pretty worried/afraid of the unknown but my gf was suddenly pregnant and she hit me with the 'It's now or never to get off your a*s' and I took it to heart.Here's the cool part, at the time I was making about $25k/yr - the person on the phone offered me $70. But I'd have to move 6 hours away and be able to start within 7 days.

The reality is I took the job happy at $70k, but she meant per hour. She then upgraded me to $80/hr without me asking, and before the call was done I was making $165k/yr on a job that I had accepted for $70k. By the end of the year I had made $275k with the overtime, basically 10x'ing my income all from that one call.
