So I'm in a tough spot here...
I could use some wisdom from you wise folk!
One of my first ever business ideas has been playing on my mind. (It ranks very high with CENTS)
I went at it about 3 years ago. I was 19.
At this point, I was a complete beginner.
I literally remember not knowing what SEO was etc.
Ultimately I went about the business completely the wrong way, didn't lose much except some time.
So here I am at 22. After three years (nothing I know, shh you veterans) of business experience I feel like I would be able to execute the idea 1000x better.
HOWEVER, and this is it...
The business relies on self driving cars not being a thing.
Am I thinking too deep into the future. I mean realistically self driving cars aren't going to be fully adopted for approx 10-20 years?
I am just cautious in investing blood, sweat, and years into a business that I know will be deemed irrelevant in the not too distant future.
Should I be looking to build for 2-5 years as large as possible and sell up asap?
It just seems wrong beginning something with its implosion not too far ahead.
Thoughts?
