Hey everyone, I joined this website a few weeks and love all the great info it has to offer.
Been working on how to approach my first post, so here it is.
I'm a 20 year old Entrepreneur that lives in the Midwest, Since the day I can remember my dream/goal in life was to run a chain of strip clubs. Only problem with this goal, is the start up cost's to pursue my dream is well over 250k.
I have always had a very hard time working the 9-5 for a whopping $7.25 and being treated like "garbage". Saying this, I have walked/quit approx. 5-7 jobs since I graduated high school. This is where I am confused, why is it so easy to quit jobs? Why don't I have the drive to put in the 8 a day and save my money for the next half of decade?
As of my Entrepreneur Side, For the past 3 years I have jotted down my "Ideas" on a notepad. Business Ideas, Website Ideas, and inventions. I have launched 2 business's locally that failed with in the first year. After I failed those 2 is where I hit the WALL, since then I have hard time telling people I'm an Entrepreneur. Why? Because after people see you fail two different Ideas they start to think your a whack job Family, Close Friends, and acquaintances.
I received a $6,000 business loan when I was 18 from a relative, I started my own mowing business and named it "Blade Runner's" You Grow We Mow it. My first day I had the money I went out and purchased a truck for $3,000 first mistake. I then went out and spent another $500 on advertisement, Had a logo made, magnets for the truck, flyers, posters blah blah blah. Had it up and running for one summer, but came to find out how many local Mowing business's there all ready were. Long story short, I just couldn't produce the quality of work for the price people wanted to pay. So I failed, after that first summer I sold the truck and gave up.
Also put $500 of that money into a website, linked up with a local web designer to launch a website called www.skejit.com an Appointment setter website. Similar to the website Schedulocity.com I believe is what the name is, but at the time they were not a fraction of what they are today. Meaning, that there is a demand for the website I was working on, It fell threw because I could not help them program it.
I know it's a super long post, sorry in advance. But I just need some advice, where do I go from here? I want to be online and develop multiple business's online but don't have a clue on the back end side. I just don't know which path to take I suppose.
