Hi everyone,

Anyone from Switzerland to connect? (No easy to find people with an entrepreneurial mindset over here)

Location: Switzerland (french speaking)
Age: 22 (male)

I decided to finally engage in this community because, after countless books and other self and formal education, MJ's content clearly stood out and this community is one of practitioners.

My entrepreneurial endeavor is characterized by a weird dilemma : I have to many opportunities.

And I'm not saying that to brag, quite the opposite. It's more of a paralyzing situation for a nerd like me who is prone to overanalysing ...

For the bulletpoints readers here they are:
  • Part time: studying at the top business school of Switzerland (among very good performers), aiming to join the best management master degree in the world
  • Part time: co-founder of a 7 figures family business (working on the business while my dad is working in the business)
  • Side hustle: co-host of a french-speaking podcast on high performance & entrepreneurship (decent following, used as a networking platform so far)

For those who would like some more details:

Yes, I am "officially" a student and yes I do value education (formal as well as autodidact). The point is that getting an elite education almost for free with all the international branding and opportunities as a plan B is a no-brainer for me. I therefore have a 3 to 5 years golden period to execute my entrepreneurial projects while "officially studying".

BUT as a very driven individual, I can't resign myself to just follow the (even elite) script.

The family business is a project which is close to my heart because my dad worked his face off for 30 years as a butcher shops manager to support our family. Now we got to open a new concept of modern/ high end butcher shop in which people can eat on site. One year after the opening, we got to acquire my dad's previous shop and we now have 1 butcher shop/restaurant + 1 butcher shop (which one making in the 7 figures/ year). Even though we are considered as a success story (which I happen to present at regional business events), butcher shops are not "powerful system" from the strategic angle. It's entirely people-dependent and almost unscalable (for now).

I would love to douple down on this project and make it a GaryVee-like success story. The trend for high quality / dry aged meat is almost as big as the veganism trend! But I'm afraid to realize in 3-5 years that I put all my efforts into a venture which will just close down when my dad will no longer be able to work 18 hours a day.

Finally, my content creation and marketing projects could have a real impact locally or in the french speaking world (which is very niche compared to the english-speaking world).Thanks to this "hobby-system" I pretty much had and still have access to many personalities, successful entrepreneur, influencers (which is further emphasized by my elite student status).

That's my starting point. I'm extremely grateful for my situation but I'm also extremely frustrated to have so many resources and possibilities without being to clarify which system to focus on and to turn into an actual fast lane project.

Obviously, until this "starting point" that I'm presenting, I've been learning and working hard for several years and I'll be happy to share insights on a variety of topics, especially high-performance and entrepreneurship!

If you have any thoughts on how to prioritize the projects I've described, let's chat about it!

Thanks for your attention and see you soon on the forum.
