24 year lad looking for Advice form Fastlaners & Unscriptee , What you would do If you are at my Situation

[Fastlane_boy]

Hey Hi Hello there, i am an 24 year lad, who is looking to seek Advice from you,

My Background : i am living in a tier III city of india, pursuing BCA ( Bachelor of Computer Application ) degree, i am in the 2nd year of BCA. i am single person living at my sister's home, My mom-dad expired in 2016, my father was a farmer and my mother was house wife. at that time i was 18 year old living in a small village. long story short,

As my mom-dad passed, i went through a lot's of ups and down, because we didn't had any saving.

i did small business , sold vegetables on street, flipped used Smartphones, worked in small local xerox center till 2019, At this time i was pursuing Diploma in Computer science, but i dropped out because of financial problems. then in 2020 i sold out a piece of land inherited from Father for ($20,000) and then i took admission in BCA.

And as i got money, then i went into trading stocks, because at that time i thought the only way to make money fast is stock market.

I learnt it, made some grand and then i lost itc because i started trading in derivative market. after loosing all profit and my personal $2000 i knew this is not the way to get rich for me, at least for now. because i was competing with professionals who had decades of experience in fishing retail traders with heavy setups.

then i got to know about Monish pabrai. i started watching his videos which he uploads on his foundation channel ( Dakshana Foundation ). in those videos he gave speech and shares his experience and journey with students of dakshana, which are kids of farmers as they give admission to only poor people. then i start resonating with his advice, and i thought if i also follow the path of get your degree, then get job and when you get job then start executing your business ideas, i was living with this approach from last 10 months

Monish pabrai said in his video, if you want start your business then read this two books, when you are in 3rd year of collage

1st How to get Rich by Felix Dennis
2nd The origion and evolution of new businesses by Amr Bhide

I googled about both auther, I picked up felix Dennis, because he himslef had build the business from nothing
And I kept Amar Bhide aside for that time.. Felix opend my eyes..


in last month, i read TMF and The Great Rat Race Escape and i calculated my Escape Number (which is $20 M), i started to fill like what the hell i am doing, i am an 24 year old with a laptop and internet connection, and still not earning a single penny, i don't have an responsibilities all i need to do only take care of myself still i am not taking risk and not building a thing which will pay me asymmetrically.

Now i have enough money to sustain myself for next 3 years, with no responsibilities, as i am living at my sister's home ( my monthly expense is $50 )
and i have 2.5 Acers Land on my name worth $60,000 .


so here's the Situation :

At the moment i have three choices

1st Choice) Continue collage, get degree and then get a job ( $303.32/month salary (enugh for a single person to live comfortably), as what they offer to a freshers passed out form tier III collages , in IT industry, and then they take it to $1000/month in next 3 years)

2nd Choice) fu*k the degree, start executing on Ideas and build business ( physical or online business)

3rd Choice) continue collage just appear for exam's, and start building media business. ( youtube channel )

My Skills are Coding , Youtube and Communication in english

As most of student/people in India are not able to speak in english and Communicate , I see Communicating in english as my skill.


As i have learnt Html and Css3 and bit of Javascript 2 years ago, and from last year i haven't coded a single line as i was completely in the trading stocks.

And since last 5 years i am consuming youtube heavily, now i know what type of videos get's views on youtube, what type of thumbnail gets clicked on, and which style of editing keeps the viewer hooked, i Started 2 youtube channels earlier but i just copied others their, not adding any value to the viewer, but now i have spot the niche where i can build my business and there are only handful of providers for such type of content and ton of auidence.

i don't just want to live for 100 years running for money


So here i am asking for Advice what should i do in such situation, Throw some wisdom on me i need it desperately.

Have you though about studying the opportunity of making a good english course online?

It's a big project, maybe it's not for a complete begineer, but try to see if Your market needs that, what your competitor's flaws are and what can You bring to the marketplace

If you read the books you should know that the right questions to ask are: What painful (to consumers or businesses) problem exists? Can I deliver the best solutions to these problems. After you will find solutions to these problems you should think about how you will do it.

@Johnny boy

Here are some more suggestions:
If you are going to be employee then go with choice 1, because a proof of formal education (diploma) is required by employers, otherwise go with options 2,3.

Here is what I would do in your situation.
I would use the land as an asset and build recession proof business based on the following options:
a) farming (food is a basic need, so always will be demand);
b) leasing the land to other farmers or big agricultural corporation;
c) build cheap housing and rent it out (it help a lot of people ).

Ya yes if I want to play it safe then I need to have a formal education to land on a job. I can use job as an insurance

I leased out the land a month ago

Thanks for sharing your thought on this @Practic it helped me,

Hey Hi Hello there, i am an 24 year lad, who is looking to seek Advice from you,

My Background : i am living in a tier III city of india, pursuing BCA ( Bachelor of Computer Application ) degree, i am in the 2nd year of BCA. i am single person living at my sister's home, My mom-dad expired in 2016, my father was a farmer and my mother was house wife. at that time i was 18 year old living in a small village. long story short,

As my mom-dad passed, i went through a lot's of ups and down, because we didn't had any saving.

i did small business , sold vegetables on street, flipped used Smartphones, worked in small local xerox center till 2019, At this time i was pursuing Diploma in Computer science, but i dropped out because of financial problems. then in 2020 i sold out a piece of land inherited from Father for ($20,000) and then i took admission in BCA.

And as i got money, then i went into trading stocks, because at that time i thought the only way to make money fast is stock market.

I learnt it, made some grand and then i lost itc because i started trading in derivative market. after loosing all profit and my personal $2000 i knew this is not the way to get rich for me, at least for now. because i was competing with professionals who had decades of experience in fishing retail traders with heavy setups.

then i got to know about Monish pabrai. i started watching his videos which he uploads on his foundation channel ( Dakshana Foundation ). in those videos he gave speech and shares his experience and journey with students of dakshana, which are kids of farmers as they give admission to only poor people. then i start resonating with his advice, and i thought if i also follow the path of get your degree, then get job and when you get job then start executing your business ideas, i was living with this approach from last 10 months

Monish pabrai said in his video, if you want start your business then read this two books, when you are in 3rd year of collage

1st How to get Rich by Felix Dennis
2nd The origion and evolution of new businesses by Amr Bhide

I googled about both auther, I picked up felix Dennis, because he himslef had build the business from nothing
And I kept Amar Bhide aside for that time.. Felix opend my eyes..


in last month, i read TMF and The Great Rat Race Escape and i calculated my Escape Number (which is $20 M), i started to fill like what the hell i am doing, i am an 24 year old with a laptop and internet connection, and still not earning a single penny, i don't have an responsibilities all i need to do only take care of myself still i am not taking risk and not building a thing which will pay me asymmetrically.

Now i have enough money to sustain myself for next 3 years, with no responsibilities, as i am living at my sister's home ( my monthly expense is $50 )
and i have 2.5 Acers Land on my name worth $60,000 .


so here's the Situation :

At the moment i have three choices

1st Choice) Continue collage, get degree and then get a job ( $303.32/month salary (enugh for a single person to live comfortably), as what they offer to a freshers passed out form tier III collages , in IT industry, and then they take it to $1000/month in next 3 years)

2nd Choice) fu*k the degree, start executing on Ideas and build business ( physical or online business)

3rd Choice) continue collage just appear for exam's, and start building media business. ( youtube channel )

My Skills are Coding , Youtube and Communication in english

As most of student/people in India are not able to speak in english and Communicate , I see Communicating in english as my skill.


As i have learnt Html and Css3 and bit of Javascript 2 years ago, and from last year i haven't coded a single line as i was completely in the trading stocks.

And since last 5 years i am consuming youtube heavily, now i know what type of videos get's views on youtube, what type of thumbnail gets clicked on, and which style of editing keeps the viewer hooked, i Started 2 youtube channels earlier but i just copied others their, not adding any value to the viewer, but now i have spot the niche where i can build my business and there are only handful of providers for such type of content and ton of auidence.

i don't just want to live for 100 years running for money


So here i am asking for Advice what should i do in such situation, Throw some wisdom on me i need it desperately.

@Johnny boy

"Grow what you know."

If you can grow YouTube channels then what about getting paid to help grow other people's YouTube channels? That way you get paid to learn, get paid to gain experience, and get paid to get better at growing your own channels.

Regarding the school, a STEM degree can be very useful in today's world. But don't attend school just to get the paper. If you're going to study, do it properly.

After you finish, you can get a remote job abroad for at least x10 the amount you've said you can make locally in your country. You can then use this money to put food on the table and fuel your business.

Thanku @Andy Black it's making sense to me, this a considerable choice for me

To do what I know, grow and also get paid while learning it, and building my thing.

Post here what you think would help my YouTube channel. I currently use YouTube as free hosting for videos I then link people to. I know I could do so much more.

Regarding the school, a STEM degree can be very useful in today's world. But don't attend school just to get the paper. If you're going to study, do it properly.

After you finish, you can get a remote job abroad for at least x10 the amount you've said you can make locally in your country. You can then use this money to put food on the table and fuel your business.

This seems a logical choice to me, and one that is suitable to my current situation,

Ya if I choose this option then I'll focus on learning about the field and gathering knowledge which can eventually land me on a remote job abroad.. I'll focus on school

And then I can use those money to fund my venture,

this way I'll get a good wife also in future, means I'll get more option to choose, and I'll choose one, who shares fastlane mindset and wants to live as an Unscriptee. That way I will have the partner at my side


But, the only confusion with this option is
If I kept doing collage and aquiring skills necessary to land on a remote job abroad.

Then I'll not be able to give my time to build a business side by side,

I need to think on it a more, as my exam are going now I'll give it thought after my exams get over..

Thanku @heavy_industry

No, that's a bad way of thinking and here's why:

As a business person, one of the core skills you need to master is time and energy management. By attending school and then work while building a business on the side, you are automatically going to train this skill.

You will also learn how to be disciplined, how to be competent, how to get work done on time, and how to approach things methodically. Those skills are invaluable. If you start a business without them you are setting yourself up for failure.

As soon as the business takes off, yes, by all means: quit everything else and focus on the business.

But most businesses have an exponential growth curve.
Which means little to no revenue for a long period of time, followed by a "sudden" massive increase in revenue. That's when you quit the job.

Oh no I was looking at it by wrong mindset,
Thanku for this sir, I got the your point

as I will start executing on business side & clg side at the same time

I'll get to know what kind of work ethics and discipline it takes to build business and do the clg side, & will learn the those valuable skills in the process

And then I'll be ready to jump on it as a experienced person

And I will not be concerned about how to bring food on table, as I will have the job paying for it.

I am so privIleged that I have access to get adviced from fastlaner's

My YT channel should be linked to at www.andyblack.net

Don't go overboard. Just give a few bullet point thoughts. "Show, don't tell" your expertise.

Sure sir, you have the more experience than my age & you know the things a lot lot better than me,

but here are my few bullet point thoughts,

1) we can change the style of presentation sir and can make it more engaging, or can add some humour.

2) we can Add Thumbnail's to the Videos, so will improve the probability of clicks.

3) and some minor changes like adding an background music to videos, after every 10-20 sec there should be some changes in the videos, we can add some effect like, zoom in-out etc.. so people can stay in the video ( ya your most of videos are tutorials, but we can make it more engaging)

4) and for Shorts, we could add text one by one as you speak, instead of placing it at once. & sorry to say this sir, i may be wrong, but according to me you need to improve on your facial expression while speaking at camera, because it feels like you have some other things to do and you are just making this video in a hurry.

that's all my little mind think's sir,

Love it.

Yeah, thumbnails would help, and making the tutorials a bit more engaging.

I also don't particularly like my Short videos even though I get good feedback on them. I'm not used to using a telemprompter so it's lost my normal facial expressions and way of speaking. I'm doing it to keep the video shorter, which is what people have liked, but maybe at the expense of personality.

Hey Hi Hello there, i am an 24 year lad, who is looking to seek Advice from you,

My Background : i am living in a tier III city of india, pursuing BCA ( Bachelor of Computer Application ) degree, i am in the 2nd year of BCA. i am single person living at my sister's home, My mom-dad expired in 2016, my father was a farmer and my mother was house wife. at that time i was 18 year old living in a small village. long story short,

As my mom-dad passed, i went through a lot's of ups and down, because we didn't had any saving.

i did small business , sold vegetables on street, flipped used Smartphones, worked in small local xerox center till 2019, At this time i was pursuing Diploma in Computer science, but i dropped out because of financial problems. then in 2020 i sold out a piece of land inherited from Father for ($20,000) and then i took admission in BCA.

And as i got money, then i went into trading stocks, because at that time i thought the only way to make money fast is stock market.

I learnt it, made some grand and then i lost itc because i started trading in derivative market. after loosing all profit and my personal $2000 i knew this is not the way to get rich for me, at least for now. because i was competing with professionals who had decades of experience in fishing retail traders with heavy setups.

then i got to know about Monish pabrai. i started watching his videos which he uploads on his foundation channel ( Dakshana Foundation ). in those videos he gave speech and shares his experience and journey with students of dakshana, which are kids of farmers as they give admission to only poor people. then i start resonating with his advice, and i thought if i also follow the path of get your degree, then get job and when you get job then start executing your business ideas, i was living with this approach from last 10 months

Monish pabrai said in his video, if you want start your business then read this two books, when you are in 3rd year of collage

1st How to get Rich by Felix Dennis
2nd The origion and evolution of new businesses by Amr Bhide

I googled about both auther, I picked up felix Dennis, because he himslef had build the business from nothing
And I kept Amar Bhide aside for that time.. Felix opend my eyes..


in last month, i read TMF and The Great Rat Race Escape and i calculated my Escape Number (which is $20 M), i started to fill like what the hell i am doing, i am an 24 year old with a laptop and internet connection, and still not earning a single penny, i don't have an responsibilities all i need to do only take care of myself still i am not taking risk and not building a thing which will pay me asymmetrically.

Now i have enough money to sustain myself for next 3 years, with no responsibilities, as i am living at my sister's home ( my monthly expense is $50 )
and i have 2.5 Acers Land on my name worth $60,000 .


so here's the Situation :

At the moment i have three choices

1st Choice) Continue collage, get degree and then get a job ( $303.32/month salary (enugh for a single person to live comfortably), as what they offer to a freshers passed out form tier III collages , in IT industry, and then they take it to $1000/month in next 3 years)

2nd Choice) fu*k the degree, start executing on Ideas and build business ( physical or online business)

3rd Choice) continue collage just appear for exam's, and start building media business. ( youtube channel )

My Skills are Coding , Youtube and Communication in english

As most of student/people in India are not able to speak in english and Communicate , I see Communicating in english as my skill.


As i have learnt Html and Css3 and bit of Javascript 2 years ago, and from last year i haven't coded a single line as i was completely in the trading stocks.

And since last 5 years i am consuming youtube heavily, now i know what type of videos get's views on youtube, what type of thumbnail gets clicked on, and which style of editing keeps the viewer hooked, i Started 2 youtube channels earlier but i just copied others their, not adding any value to the viewer, but now i have spot the niche where i can build my business and there are only handful of providers for such type of content and ton of auidence.

i don't just want to live for 100 years running for money


So here i am asking for Advice what should i do in such situation, Throw some wisdom on me i need it desperately.
