Hello,
This is the first time I'm using Fastlane forum, and I don't know how I'm going to use this forum exactly. so I guess I'll just start from introducing myself.
I am Akansha, from India..I'm a 25 year old and I recently shut down my business (started at the age of 23) cause I was bearing heavy loses. I do not have a formal business degree, and only learned from my various experiences in some short terms jobs or free services I used to provide to companies in form of internships.
I recognised at an early age that I wish to start my own business and the reason I gave to myself for doing so was (cause I can't take order from bosses) I have always been a rebellious student/employee, my naive behaviour took me on a troll for the next two years...I was fortunate to have financial support from my parents and went ahead with the idea of a "successful business" without proper planning.
what MJ now calls entrepreneurial masturbation...yeah I was succumbed to that. I rented an office, hired people...started my fashion manufacturing unit...and started producing merchandise.. (I was good at my core knowledge) ...but I couldn't sell anything...not as much as I was paying on a monthly basis..
I kept giving myself time ( and my comfort zones of not being able to pay salaries never really helped me with my hard work either) ...so as to when came a point, I had to finally realise that the success of this idea was just in my head and it was nowhere scene in numbers. I was able to shape it quite average because of my skill, but it failed because of lack of hardworking and focus.
I shut down my fashion brand in February'2020, something that I had dreamt of from the first day I joined college... have taken time by myself from past 5 months..have discovered spirituality and have questioned all my actions post my graduation, did self retrospection and stumbled upon UNSCRIPTED .
I am still working on the idea of how do I add value with the kind of skills and knowledge I have..I sometimes question if I have enough and have had thoughts to pursue a business degree to learn more then I remind myself that its just me spending more and more money..so I decided to learn it myself...
I give myself online classes, I have started to work on producing new ideas now....
Life has its own ways of teaching you things, I'm learning everyday in my own way..
I guess I'll be back in a month or so and have something tangible in my hand..
