Hello everyone.
As a brief description of my background, I am a former derivatives trader with a BA in Financial Management. I am currently trading options and equity to keep myself sharp while pursuing a Masters's in Finance.
After reading the three main books from @MJ DeMarco and writing down my "Planasy" I decided that it was enough theory (for the moment), and it was time to put the concepts in practice.
I am biased to offer a product within this industry. Such a product could tackle a problem or need in both the financial markets and the general population.
I would like to know your experience and any advice you could give me as an entrepreneur within the financial industry. Some questions I have are: what are the types of services that you offer? what are some problems that are not being properly addressed by bigger and established institutions? What legal matters should I take into consideration if I want to offer my services?
It is worth noting that I am open to getting involved in other industries where I know I can add up value with my current skills or learn new skills if needed to solve different problems from my area of expertise.
So far, I feel indecisive if I should pursue a business in Finance as a starting point for a beginner or if I should first consider learning other business skills (say marketing, sales, operations, etc.) in other industries that are more approachable?
Thank you in advance! I look forward to discussing any details.
