That might be a good idea. Business is a good start to succeed. But I don't think students will have enough fund for that.Originally Posted by BusinessStories
I read every post so far. Thank you all for your contributions. I think I fall somewhere in the middle having just gone all out the last three years and fallen on my face.
My goal for 2012: Transition my mindset from failure to success by learning from every mistake I have made and the place of humility I have found myself by specifically by to understand how to clearly identify a need and market and target that market with a product that meets peoples needs and provides them unequivocally with something that is of greater value than they exchange for it while being equally profitable to me as the presenter.
Good luck all. I hope to meet you on the journey.

In 2012, I will push out every competitor in my field except the top dog, and make a cubic shitload(*) of money.
(*) precise technical term

in 2012, err, I mean, the rest of 2012, I am re-launching my clothing brand with a new identity and new image and I will also work to get into specific retail stores across the Southeast of the US.
Wish me luck guys, I'm excited but nervous as hell about this...

I will open famous1s and Sales will take off and by December 31 2012 I will have recouped my initial investment and be on my way to 500,000 dollars. .
i will change the way the world understand things by launching my first website in the last quarter.

Reality check --- 2012 is 1/4th over.
How is your implementation coming along? Key milestones reached? Stalled?
Updates please.
I have greatly expanded our sku count, and pressed into some new industries. I broke my cardinal rule of not wanting to own development, and have invested in a proprietary tool for a product we will launch in June 2012. I will post that sweet new concept here in June. I have refocused a bit from my initial post of wanting retail distribution, primarily because B2C marketplace is allowing us to capture 100% of the margin without sharing it with retailers. I do have a few retail deals pending, but am going slowly so as to not make any mistakes.
My passive income for 2012 will exceed what I need to replace all of my active income. That, to me, equals freedom.
On an unrelated note, I just hired a web design company in India through eLance to build me a kick ass web site in a brand new services industry that I am creating from scratch. That site should be launched within 90 days, and I will update when it goes live. It's a service that every single person reading this forum could use... for free.
I hope 2012 is kicking ass for you. Please update against your original goal threads. Blaze your own path!

Hey Reno,
I just wanted to reply to your post and wish you the VERY best of luck. To tell you to keep the positive attitude and keep the down moments to a minimum. Surround yourself with good, honest people with integrity.
Get rid of anyone who is a negative influence no matter how close they are to you. OR if you feel strong enough show them through your actions how a positive person acts.
Take care and please keep posting and let us all know how things are going. There are a TON of smart people here to help however they can.
WOW WOW WOW
Very nice! I would say 2012 IS kicking azz for you!
Congrats and continued success to you. I am very interested in your announcement in June and will hold you to it

My mantra for 2012 is No Matter What.

Free Interviews with Over 50 Self Made Millionaires
Graduate 11th grade with a 3.5+ GPA, get a good score on the SAT, and gain insightful knowledge on Entrepreneurship in the summer.
In 2012 I will learn my industry inside and out while developing the skills necessary for success.
UPDATE: April 26:
Refine and build -- check. Revenues up 15% over last year. For perspective, we've already made in 4 month (Jan-April, slow months) what we did our first full year in business (ALL of 2004).
Focusing on building a mgt-based infrastructure- not yet. See next (training of staff)
Regular training of new and existing staff-- HUGE improvements here. Taking lots of my time, but SO worth it.
Take a long, hard look at expenses, ROI, and efficiency. -- Still in process. Hard to measure things you can't see. Working on noticing things we take for granted.
RESULTS: So far, so good: On track for over $2,000,000.00 in sales.
