Hello everyone,
This is my first post on the forum but I already read some threads here.
I am 17 years old and since a half year I am thinking about what to do with my life.
I stay in school for 2 more years now and try to get the best grades, but I feel like what I learn in school is not what I need in the real life. Anyways I just learn it. But thats not the main problem.
After schoolwork is done I start thinking about starting a business. I already had one, selling stuff on ebay, I importat earlier. Made 200€ a month but I thought: "This is not THE thing."
Everyone is trying to get big on ebay or amazon. But as said in the book, ebay sellers make good, but ebay make big-legendary money.
My business had no future. The product I sold was a haircare product for men, famous on youtube but shipping to germany cost 7€ and took 2 weeks. So I ordered 30 and sold them on ebay even for less then the main side and with 1 day shipping.
Nowadays I just dont know what I should do. I surf the internet, look forums, watch ALOT of youtube videos. Unmotivated but also clueless what work I should do.
Atleast I workout 3 times a week, eat pretty clean and care about myself. Since I am in school I have a shedule where I wake up at 6am so I wont sleep in the day as all weekends.
Today I sleept till 12am. I just cant get myself to get up and do something.
When I played competitive computer games I was early up even at the weekends to play. I went to bed and was exited for waking up and playing.
I've read: "the millionaire fastlane ", "4 hour work week" "Rich dad,Poor dad" and a book of donald trump. Since I am reading alot of financial newspapers I can say that I am atleast at my school the guy with the biggest knowledge in financial stuff.
But beside that I dont have a hobby, something to live for. When I go out with friends I feel like its a waste of time, I could work at home, but when I am home I watch youtube till 1am and sleep half of the saturday and sunday.
Maybe I am not a entrepreneur guy. May I just should focus on school-college-8-5 job.
But in my heart that is not what I want.
My holidays in Spain where the best time of my life. I was so happy that I had no worries, the beach, the sun everything.
I want this later on in my life. Not 2 weeks holidays a year. Seeing different coutrys, Dress well, Good body&health, maybe a nice car and no worries about money.
Sorry that the text ended up beeing so long. Thanks for reading. Please tell me if you have any advice, thinking etc. for my current situation.
