Hi there fastlane community, nice to be here!
I´m Dom from AUT, and after reading a friends copy of TMF and the occassionally lurking around the forums here, I finally decided to sign up.
I´ll be 24 years old in a few days, and things didn´t go well for me in the past 5 years.
Here´s a compilation of jobs I had:
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you were 5 years old?
I still know exactly what it was for me. I didn´t want to be an astronaut or a firefighter/police officer,
I wanted to be an inventor.
After all these years, knowing that I´m no Bill Gates and hearing from my parents that I live in a dreamworld all the time, MJ´s book gave me a huge confidence boost.
A teacher once said to me that I`m a genius, but lazy.
While I can´t quite agree with her on the genius part, she´s absolutely correct with the latter.
I just wanna do what I like.
One day, while spending time with my hobby, it came to my head.
"I can´t become rich doing what I do right now, but why not help others in that niche and become wealthy doing it??"
So I came up with an idea for a product that´s used globaly. (Scale)
Nobody in my country produces it. (local fastlaning?)
It´s a "use until it breaks, then buy new" product. (Need)
Around the world are a few products like this, but my idea is better. (If it works)
Entry. Control.
That´s the problem. My idea is based on the low-gold alloy from a local company.
To realise my dream, I´ve to get them to produce for me.
They aren´t related to my niche in any way, and they are pretty big.
Needless to say that I´m a little bit intimidated right now.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO APPROACH THIS COMPANY WITHOUT F*ckING UP.
To approach would be the first step, then, if everything goes alright, produce a prototype and test it to see if my idea works out as planned.
I don´t even have 20 bucks in my pocket and I don´t have experience for getting a business like that together.
Distribution would be childsplay compared to starting the whole thing.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
