Hey guys I'm so glad to be a part of this forum! I am a 15 year old female, and I really want my own shoe store and once I get there, I want to franchise them. I started collecting shoes when I was about 13 years old. I started doing research and found out about the Sneaker Community, and realized it is a very big community and there are many business opportunities in it. I found Storenvy, which is a free site where you can decorate your website with or without using code and I've been using that for awhile now. Once I got my website up I knew I needed products to sell. I bought 15 shirts from a t-shirt printing company with my design on it, those ended up being about $100 down the drain. I also bought a pair of Jordan's a few months ago for $200 and hadn't sold them for the longest time, the price was going down very badly and I knew I lost money on them too. Just last night I texted a man and sold the shoes for $120. After that I felt really proud, even though I lost $80, I'm still very happy that I sold them and didn't lose the full $200. That's all I had on my site, one pair of Jordan's and about 10 t-shirts left in stock. This morning all I have now is the t-shirts. I was set in a slump after I realized I was going to lose money on the shoes, but I'm back now and happy that I at least sold them. I plan on buying more shoes in the future and expanding my business. I've also started to learn some Code through a free training program I found online. With that code, I hope to someday be able to design websites or do something with marketing. I'm currently a freshman in high school, and next year I plan on taking a Marketing/Entrepreneurship class. Once I'm a junior, I plan on taking a Computer Science class where we learn code. Since I am young I can't do much as of right now, but that won't stop me from pursuing my dream.
