    Ended Up in University: I Regret it Already

    RANT 
    Signed in for the first time in ages, just to reply to this thread. My advice, stay in school. First of all: I don't know where you are, but if you're in the UK or USA and you're digging yourself deep into >$50,000 of student debt, then maybe leave school indeed. My advice is only relevant if...

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    That's where I come in. Its what I love doing and what I'm training myself in right now. I sell IT projects to large firms, and my job is to secure the initial meetings with IT managers and Sales managers. That's a great idea. In addition to contacting large plants and factories, this could be...

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    Yes, sweet. This is exactly the kind of solutions I'm talking about. You're saying "Stuff like that will become more and more popular I would imagine". Does everyone here agree with that? To what extend is the age of automation already behind us? Thanks for thinking along. This is all really...

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    Thanks again for your remarks! Project Ara is going to be too tough. My friend is good at electronics, but his skills are not of that level (especially the pocket-size is hard to work with) Working with manufacturers is a great idea. While contacting big companies and their plants we might as...

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    OK here's the plan. I'm gonna try to meet some senior business people who have operations experience in factories and plants (e.g. plant managers, production planners, etc..) and find out how automated today's factories are, and whether they think this kind of business could work out. In the...

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    Yes, that's what I was thinking. This is the century of automation. From now untill the year 2100 thousands and thousands of jobs are going to get replaced by robots. This business simply hás to grow significantly over the next 10-20 years, and I want a piece of that pie...

    New business idea. Need your feedback

    IDEA 
    Thanks everyone for your replies! However, I think you misunderstood what I meant with "Electronic devices". We're absolutely not targeting the consumer business (ps4 stuff, water speakers...). This market is indeed over served, and it's impossible to work cheaper than the chinese. What I...

    IDEA 
    Hi everyone, A friend of mine is a brilliant engineer. He's specialized in electronics and he makes stuff in his spare time as a hobby. He has a job as an embedded software engineer in a company that makes devices for hospitals (such as an emergency button). His knowledge is now at a point...

    Doubt and fear keep me on the ground :(

    MINDSET 
    Yes that's the plan. I might buy on alibaba, or through European importers I'm new to Alibaba and everything seems kind of suspicious to me. I'm also having a hard time figuring out the shipping options and finding a manufacturer that offer low MOQs. I guess I better read some more alibaba...

    Thanks alot for the support, everyone! You're so right, I should just man up and act now. I ordered a second drone today and emailed a few suppliers on alibaba. I might even start a progress thread here. I guess if I keep making more and more babysteps eventually my doubts will fade away :)...

    Hi everyone, Just like a lot of you I'm really eager to start my own business. I jealously read your progress threads and I know that entrepreneurship is really the only path I want to walk in my life. I've been thinking about starting a webshop selling Drones in my country, but my head keeps...
