I hope that I am in the right corner of the forum (new member here). Sorry if not

So my journey started 2014 when I was around 15 years old. My goal: financial freedom as fast as possible!

How? Let's ask google!
After a short time I came across of many money making gurus... I have to admit, that I got baited, but hey lessons learned!
I kept on digging in the web to find the solution which should provide me with an easy and big income stream.

Guess what, I wasn't be able to gain a single Euro (German student here). The funny part is that I never gave up and kept on looking for the "secret" to wealth. Frustration set in and bad emotions came across. Hopes were converted to failure on a regular base. What a time waste!

Now I am 18 years old and I found this forum and started to read all the gold threads. My conclusion: I have to read that damn book. One minute later I was caught. I couldn't stop reading (never read books in the past I hated it). My mindset got punched hundreds of times by the wise words of Mj! Now I can say that I did profit by investing a little bit of money and time. The return of the invest of 2 days intensive reading and like a few bucks: a changed mindset! A mindset capable of learning and doing everything to achieve anything!

I got motivated and thought about my decisions and my mindset...

What was the goal? To get some internet moneyz fast and eaaasy!

What is the goal? Create value and help as many people as possible!

Today I am thinking about what kind of service/product I could offer the world in order to create value and profit later on.
How? Well.... Currently that is the biggest obstacle on my road towards my current smaller goal: to build up my first serious business.

I got inspired by someone who apperantly loves ice cream. He got me thinking about starting a carpet cleaning business. Why? To learn entrepreneurship, learn to work for my own company, learn how to deal with customers and so on! I would do other things but most of that stuff is actualy not allowed in germany without a certain certificate...

My problem: what should I do in order to experience what it's like to be a entrepreneur/creating value?
-I have like 2000€ to start.
-I am living on the land (small village the next big city is 30km away).
-I know everything about fitness/bodybuilding.


Any advice would be helpful :)
And thanks to everyone on this forum. The amount of knowledge and motivation is just awesome!!!!!! You guys rock!

PS: sorry for all the grammer/spelling mistakes in the text.
