This thread will document the progress of my new venture in ecommerce selling products in a high-margin niche.

My first business of 2 years failed just before Christmas and now I need to get a job. My costs got way over what I could afford and I wasn't making enough to cover everything. It was also just a pretty bad business to be in - the only thing going for it was some 'control' and strong 'need' in CENTS (I hadn't read any books on business or been exposed to MJ's books when I started).

It will take time to get back to normality and save money before I start this, now is the time for planning and learning.
