from almost homeless to an almost millionaire who wants to change the world.

Hello Steemians,

Let me tell you my story and how I managed to become from almost homeless to an almost millionaire who wants to change the world.

My name is Amedeo Giacomini and I was born in Bulgaria in 1985(during the communist years), from the love of an Italian salesman and his Bulgarian translator.

When I was 12 my father past away and I started walking on a dark path, so my mom decided to send me to the U.S. for a brighter future. The funny thing is that the city she chose was Las Vegas, where my uncle was living. Indeed it was very bright, but the light was coming from the casinos.

As almost everybody in Las Vegas, my uncle was working in a casino and also spent most of his free time in a casino, so it was the perfect place for a 14 years old rebel boy with no parental control. I stopped going to school and I continued to run from myself by having a good time, or at least what I thought was a good time.

After 2 years my personality had become much worst and my mom's savings were gone in slot machines and crab tables, thanks to her brother. The combination of no more money to gamble and my untamable spirit made me not welcome in his house. And to be honest I didn't like living there in any case, so I decided to go to Italy where my eldest sister Daria was living.

She is a true angel and she made me a better person. Unfortunately, my personality back then was still very aggressive and hard to control, so at the age of 16 I dropped out of school and when I turned 17 I started working as a construction worker.

I don't regret that decision at all, actually I felt appreciated for my qualities and work, and I was paid good money for a 17 years old boy, I felt autonomous. I could finally start sending money to my mom and try to pay her back for everything that she has done for me.

Around the year 2004 my mom and my little sister, came to Italy to live with me and my eldest sister. That was an important moment in my life, I felt a responsibility for the first time. I felt the need to give a good example to someone, my little sister. I understood what it means to have something/someone more important than yourself. So I stopped doing drugs and I started looking for a better job. It was the first time that I tried to be a better person.

After some time I managed to find a job as a door to door salesman. I was selling mobile phone contracts. The saying " blood never lies" turned out to be true. I was pretty damn good as a salesperson, just like my dad. I was a top performer from day one. Everything was going as good as it could go, but that was until the big recession in 2008/2009. On top of the recession, I had a severe knee injury playing football and I couldn't walk for 7 months and therefore I lost my job.

In north Italy where I was living, the people are very patriotic(not to use other words), so whenever they read on my ID that I was born in Bulgaria, they wouldn't hire me, even if I had Italian names and Italian blood and the job didn't require any special qualifications. So After 1 year and a half of me not having a job, I started feeling as a weight to my sisters and my mom. I was extremely depressed. I was feeling bad even to open the fridge because there wouldn't be enough food for my family. So I took a radical decision. I said to myself: it's better to be an Italian in Bulgaria than a Bulgarian in Italy. So I sold my computer and I sold my tennis shoes and I gathered 370EUR. I bought a bus ticket to Bulgaria for 70 EUR and I went back to Sofia where I was born. After a couple of days in a nasty hostel, I didn't have where to sleep so with my last money I rented a room in a young couple's house.

My instincts didn't lie, it was much much better to be "an Italian in Bulgaria". I found a job in just one day! The job was a customer support agent for a multinational company. Everything was great, better than I could have imagined it, but as the days past by the feeling I could do better grew stronger. So one day I decided to quit and I started looking for a new job, a new emotion.

My instincts were right again. In just a few days I managed to find a new job as a telemarketing salesman. Again I was a top performer from day one thanks to my blood, the only inheritance from my dad. I started making really good money and I even managed to put some aside. However, I always had the feeling I could do better so I decided to experiment and I opened my own recording studio "Sofia 1000".

I stopped being a sales agent and I dedicated one year to music production. Keeping in mind that I have never done it before and I never wanted to do commercial music and sell my beliefs, I had some decent results. However, after one year my savings were finished and the money that I was making as a producer was very insufficient.

In that moment something very important happened to me. My little sister wasn't that little anymore and she got pregnant. She was about to become a mom. Unfortunately, not all men are men and she was going to become a single mom. That was the second time I felt the responsibility of becoming a stronger person for the better being of someone else. Until that point I used to work tree four months, make enough money to not work tree four months and that was how I was living.

I had changed many companies in the same field and my name was pretty famous in the sphere I was working. They knew me as one of the best. One day I got an offer from a company that didn't want me as a simple sales agent they wanted me as a Sales Manager. So I grabbed the opportunity. That was the first company that I developed. From 50,000 USD per month in sales, I developed the company to +1,000,000 USD per month incomes and I started making for myself +30,000 USD per month. And as almost every suddenly wealthy person, I spent a lot of them on stupid things that I didn't need. However, I managed to guarantee a good standard of life for my 3 sisters, my mom and mostly for my newborn nieces(my eldest sister also gave birth).

I had good money, everything was more than fine, but I was feeling empty on the inside. One day the feeling of emptiness was so strong that I decided to go on a journey and find myself, so as always I just quit the job and I went to live in the Bulgarian mountains near the Turkish border.

For almost a year I lived isolated in a village with 20 people. During that year my family came to visit me and I saw my nieces for the first time. Immediately after I saw my nieces, two newborn babies so pure and innocent and yet so full of life and desire of knowledge, I realized what was wrong with me. I was living a selfish life! After I assured my well being after I assured my family's well being the next step was to ensure every human being a decent life. I knew what I had to do, I had to change the world, I had to change the society we live in. I couldn't stand the fact that there were people starving to death and innocent children (just like my nieces) without a possibility to choose what they want to become when they grow up. All because of a few hundred elite families hidden behind their corporations, that have forged a rigged system that kills, punishes and labels as human waste the ones that question it. A system that rewards the selfish, soulless, brainwashed, materialistic, cannibalistic beings, that without a doubt will sell their brother's human beings.

I still don't know if I am going to make it, but before I die I want to look back and say, at least I have tried!

So I found an old building in a small town near the Turkish border that I decided it will be the first center of a new community, a new society that accepts everyone without questioning them for what they are or how they think. that will give the possibility to everyone equally.

I didn't have enough capital at that time to purchase it, so I went back to Sofia to gather what I could. For the past 2 years I have developed 2 more companies and I already bought the building, I gathered enough capital to renovate it, I have purchased filmmaking equipment and I will move my recording studio there. I recently quit my last job so I can dedicate myself to changing the world we live in.

This will be the first Art Center/Home/Ray of light of my visionary society, in which kids or grown-ups can study, eat and develop themselves for free without any requirement of grades, diplomas or working experience or any other absurdity.

I am asking for your help because by myself I can only try, together we will succeed!

I need good people to help me, I want to buy more land, create houses and shelters where we can integrate, feed, and educate the homless and not homeless man, women, and kids. Everyone can come and help physically if they have the will and possibility to do so.

In the next days, I will sell everything I own to gather the most I can.

I will film everything and I will keep you updated!

My feelings are telling me that STEEMIT IS THE CHANGE.
BE PART OF THE CHANGE!

Sincerely yours,

Amedeo Giacomini
