Hello everyone,
As the title suggests I need help getting back into entrepreneurship.
The summary of my journey so far is:
My experience of entrepreneurship really broke me over the 2.5 year period and it took me a while before I would even consider going back. But after 1 year of being an employee I'm ready to go for it again. I'm just not sure what the right approach is or what direction to go in. Any suggestions?
As the title suggests I need help getting back into entrepreneurship.
The summary of my journey so far is:
- Learned about entrepreneurship and started listening to various podcasts around 2011.
- In 2013 finally made the jump into full time entrepreneurship but not just that, moved from Canada to the Caribbean
- Started a solar consulting business along with a solar blog
- Despite having some traffic, due to the Caribbean country I was in there were few monetization strategies that worked. Tried Google Ads, contacting companies for direct ad space, lead generation, directory listing etc. Very little traction. Finally created a digital solar report and sold copies at US$500 each.
- Changes in the government's stance towards solar power crippled the industry
- Put the solar business on pause and helped my wife with her aquafitness business
- Took an internet marketing course
- Took a lead generation course online and began contacting audiology clinic (they sell hearing aids) to generate more leads from their websites
- None of the 3 options above were as successful due to a variety of reasons
- Even took a course on Kindle publishing and published 3 books but again the results were small
- Eventually returned to Canada in 2016 and am stuck back being an employee
