Hi all, I read the fastlane 4 years ago... I'm 23 years old from Lusaka, Zambia. A developing country in southern africa. I have been a long reader of the forums but never signed up until now.... Im currently 23 years old and in the past I have made some little money designing websites for companies, but I just couldnt get consistence clientss and so I was broke here and there also tried other ventures that dint go well but i learnt from them. Im currently living with my grandma and as I write this write now am feeling lost.... 4 years ago i thought i would make a business that would make an impact and here I am. unemployed, no college education, broke and no where to go as my grandma will be renting out the house so i need to find an apartment to rent and i am broke. I am currently applying for some jobs here and there now to find some money to pay the bills... I still have one online business that has potential, I just need to find some little money to invest in some ads on a certain platform. I dont know why am even writting this.... I just feel lost, I have relatives telling to get into college, which I dont want to. Theres a part of me thats still tellling me I can do this and college would just be a waste of time to me, i feel like i would rather spend that energey working on another business than attending lectures, graduating then job hunting.. right now am trying to follow the method in Alex becker book 8 pillars of weath which is to find a small job, find a cheap living cost and work on a business with high potential but low startup cost then scale it. But even that would take time because even if I find a job most of the pay would be going to pay rent. I feel like all my relatives are looking at me as a failure right now... I know this is a bad introduction... I just Dont know what to do anymore
