Hi guys,
I have been lurking here for about 2 years. Have always had that "entrepreneurial" spirit and by that I guess it means I get a rush from making a buck out of "nothing", just as much as I hate working for a boss. My mindset has already shifted away from making a buck to creating value. Here's a quick timeline on where I'm at.
12/31/16 - Partying with friends, having a good time. Same old shit.
1/1/17 - When asked about my New Year's resolution, I shrugged it off. Resolutions are BS. Example: gym membership spike. Or is it BS? That's when I realized all I have been doing is action faking and procrastination. I "woke up". Why not NOW? I stopped watching TV. Podcasts instead of music. Mindful of how I spent every minute of my day.
1/5/17 - Asked a mutual friend I normally don't hang with to have a beer. He runs an online course biz generating 7 figures a year (I later found out). This was a first for me.. asking someone out of my inner-circle to hang out, equally notable.. someone (way) more successful than me. It was the most valuable conversation I had perhaps ever.
1/7/17 - Started to read TMF and Think and Grow Rich.
1/23/17 - Upon browsing Meetup.com, saw an E-Commerce group I was interested in. Turns out the organizer was a mutual friend from High School that I was never close with. He's doing 100k in revenue a month selling health supplements on Amazon. Hung out with him, another valuable hang out.
1/26/17 - Thinking about everyday life, I uncovered a need in a HUGE market. Upon research, found out there are 4 competitors that solve this need. 2 dominating the whole market. I believe there is room for me to enter. I will add value, differentiate myself, market better, and write better copy.
1/26/17 - Scoured Alibaba for suppliers, turns out one of the suppliers that responded to me is a manufacturer for 1 of the 2 main players... interesting.
2/2/17 - Logo complete, social media and website started.
2/3/17 - CAD files halfway complete. Communicating with supplier to ensure everything is square before having my mold created. 2K... ouch. And I need 2 of them! I guess it's an entry-barrier. haha
That's it for now. Stay tuned
