Here we are.
I'm finally starting my journey of building my first business.
For ages I've spent an enormous time thinking about how I could launch this or that, the different strategies to grow the business and I was thinking a lot about what could be seen as the end goal (getting a lot of money).
What was lacking? My actions.
All my time for the last few years have been spend dreaming about what my life could look like if I work my a$$ off while building something useful for others. (I'm still 17 so I'm young but still)
I don't want to stay in that circle ever again.
I've decided to go with a custom sneaker business based on the fact that this is a need to I discovered while interacting my people on my Instagram pages, and with a little more investigation I saw that even it the market has a lot of actors in the US, there is only a small number of companies that are doing it in France, in fact, the major company is forced to close their ecommerce store because they can't handle the demand haha
So at the moment I have done (and failed) my first design on a pair of Air force 1, I wasn't able to properly put the paint on it, I put a lot of black paint in place I wasn't supposed to and while I tried to remove it it got worse haha.
But this makes me even more determined to get this right! Failing means that I'm trying things. I'll need to invest in tools that will allow me not to get problems like that (which adds another 400$ to my startup costs) but I would have needed to buy this at some point so it's okay.
At the moment I'm focusing on doing my first designs so I can validate my idea before launching a store etc...
To be honest I have no idea on where I could get this going but what I know is that I don't want this to be "another dream", I want to prove myself that I am capable of doing things!
