Hey ! Yes, I think you should get a job with a successful entrepreneur. MAKE SOMEBODY ELSE RICH. That's what entrepreneurship is all about. Serving others. Once you do that for one person (or for 5, or 10, or 100) you'll have your ticket. Coding is great but it'll take years to develop. Same thing with entrepreneurship.
I call working for entrepreneurs "training at altitude." Flipping products on eBay for 3 years on your own would teach you what working for somebody like me or MJ would teach you in 3 months. So don't be shy to get a job and work hard for a few years.
Caveat: I wouldn't just get any job. Here's the approach I'd take: TEDxCMU -- Charlie Hoehn --Â The New Way to Work - YouTube

Hey Dan, do you have any tips for an aspiring 19 year old entrepreneur that has little money in his bank account (about $120.00), and no college education? I want a better life for myself, I've worked 3 jobs that I've worked hard at. I just found out that I don't like the fact that I'm making somebody else rich, while I can do the same thing for myself at a young age. I've read MJ's book and it really motivated me to get my a$$ up and do something. So I started learning to code a few months ago, but I'm kind of thinking it's not fastlane enough. And that a business could possible be the way to go. But with little resources, and little cash, I have no idea where to start, and what niche to pick.
My parents are definitely NOT wealthy. I was thinking of reselling products on eBay, but eBay is already heavily saturated. I'd appreciate some feedback from ANYONE at this point. I WAS interested in the SFM marketing system with Stuart Ross, but I don't believe Affiliate Marketing is fastlane enough for me. Thank you in advance for any responses.
