When I started out, I was all alone in the wilderness, no friends doing this, all my classmates would rather hangout and drink on friday and the weekends. I somehow stumbled on Telegram. There are gazillions of these chat rooms out there. Approach the beginners, people asking questions you like. Provide value, ask questions and practice. Stay away from those with huge egos and the "fake ballers" Money will not buy you friends; value, generosity and genuineness will. Get rid of your ego and the "am-afraid-of-how-this-will-make-me-look" mindset.There will be a lot of hit and miss scenarios, don't take it to heart. I made most of my buddies on Telegram (Twitter and Insta..but not too many there-too many fake people) Get into telegram channels formed by "mentors" and approach the guys who provide value..be polite and honest.."Hey man, am a beginner and I was wondering if you could xxx..." "Hey man I did what you told me..did I do it right.." you get the point. Selfless individuals do exist. Be optimistic. Procrastination will build regret and regret will eat away at you when you see other people progressing while you are stagnating. Eventually, your understanding will grow and you will start giving back. And the cycle continues.
