To start off, my name's Richard and I am an aspiring Entrepreneur and Investor looking to make a change in the world. I have struggled with really changing my life around, in terms of dedicating myself to a specific project, making money and grinding through, but I feel as if by following the right people and taking it one step at a time my hunger will manifest and I will not be able to be stopped. The reason why I say change the world is really because I thoroughly enjoy helping others achieve their goals or dreams, or help them anyway possible - and I believe that just having someone come up to me and say "Hey bro, you helped me achieve my goal, I would like to thank you" would be amazing.
My current end goal is being financially free before 30, and being able to retire my parents. I come from Australia, and honestly, I never really had a hard life, but rather, it wasn't hard because my parents never wanted us to seem like it was hard. I didn't realise it till I was older, but after my Dad was let go from his job, he decided to get into his own cleaning business. There were a couple of months when he was jobless, and thus the stress built up in our family, and I could feel it being a dark time for us. Eventually, once my Dad started getting clients, he was able to get a contract with a company to clean 6 days a week. My parents have stable jobs now, but are working 6, sometimes 7 (half days) a week, waking up at 6 in the morning, finishing at 12 at night. The reason why I tell this story is that my whole life my parents gave me the illusion that we were comfortable, which I was of course, but really I want them to slow down as the age and start enjoying their lives. There is really no way to pay them back in full, but I can by showing them I will become successful and send them of to the Philippines
I didn't really get influenced by anyone specifically to go down the Entrepreneurial path, but, I knew that I never wanted to work for anyone in the future. Studying millionaires throughout the past 2 years and reading the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki" really gave me the gist of what I want my life to be like in the future.
I currently have made a Clothing Line specifically Gym Attire named Lifter Wear, with limited amount of resources and capital, I am currently finding new people and ideas to turn my clothing into a madhouse of a brand. I have started this with my Brother (who I guess could say is the investor as none of the funds are of my own), and we are at our 3rd batch of clothes, having 0 sales. I am constantly trying to find ways to market these items, and Social Media is one of them, having opened a Facebook up recently, and soon to be opening an Instagram. I understand the risks associated with a Clothing Line - especially one with a niche of Fitness oriented people, but I firmly believe that what the Fitness industry is lacking are the skills and the message we are trying to convey to our consumers.
I am currently in Uni studying a Bachelor of Business (Marketing), and quite frankly hate University. I am interested in creating a YouTube, in both Gaming as well as Promo vids for my brand and Workout videos. I have a strong passion for editing, creating and producing videos. After I build a way to work from the comfort of my own home, I would love to learn how to invest in properties specifically, then maybe onto stocks and bonds.
The reason why I have joined this forum is to really just surround myself with people with the same goals and ambitions that I have. I want to constantly push myself, grind and go through hardships for myself in order to attain that sweet taste of victory. I have come to this forum to honestly change my life, and I understand that I cannot do this alone. I have read many peoples success stories and I feel it's finally time to create my own.
Some basic questions to start off:
1. As a current brand owner, what are some tips you guys have to actually make sales?
2. I struggle to really put all of my energy and efforts into something, I know it's my own self limiting that, but are there any tips on how to improve productivity?
3. Tips for running a business having 0 experience?
4. How to find people or a mentor that have the same alignments with my goals and ambitions?
I appreciate any help and support
