Hello,
I discovered this book and forum around a year ago when I was first beginning college. I fell in love with everything about the book because everything within it resonated to me. Well it's been a year and I'm still no better off than I was last year. Worse off probably. I no longer have a girlfriend and no longer workout like I did 2 years ago. I just got off of work, stopped by starbucks, and am now sitting in the library waiting for the current president of the Finance Club at my university to come discuss some ideas with me about how we can better market the club and basically build and grow it because it is basically nothing right now and I have some ideas about how it can be better marketed...etc. Anyways, I'm studying finance, not for any particular reason other than I'm great at math..and accounting too it seems, even though I hate it, and that it seems to be lucrative-ish. I'm here at the library to study for 2 gen ed exams tomorrow, which I absolutely despise, and honestly, the only reason I'm in college is because I'm getting paid ~5k/semester to attend...otherwise I don't know where I'd be. So, I'm not complaining. I realize that I'm very fortunate and I AM EXTREMELY happy and grateful for what I have and all of the opportunities I've been given, but I still want to build my own business. Leave my own legacy. Be able to give out my own scholarships to young men who are like I once was.
Anyways...
I don't know what to do? I don't have any ideas that I want to execute upon. I don't have any particularly great skills that I'm aware of that would be useful to a startup. I want this. I would rather work for myself and make 30k/y than be employed for 200k/y, but I am just lost.
Yet...I'm going to a local "entrepreneur mastermind" meetup tomorrow in a neighboring city. I know I can't contribute, but I still want to go, and am openly welcomed, so I will just show up, smile, and take in all I can. It sort of feels like stealing, but I want to move toward something.
Should I just sub to the insiders? I am usually so busy with school, work, and commuting that I don't even browse this forum as much as I should.
I love menswear and style. And quality men's shoes. Hopefully that will help me succeed in the new job I just started in sales, but...that's the slowlane. That's my reality, though, for now.
Thank you for reading. Any criticism/recommendations/advice, however harsh, is greatly encouraged and appreciated.
