Hi everyone,
I'm a middle aged guy with two loving children and a partner.
Used to work as a security officer for more than a decade, usually working night shifts.
Quit my job at the end of 2017 when a lot of stuff happened. Rode a bit on the XRP (Ripple) wave, and... my father passed away.
Since then my life has taken a whole different road. I am now working at home, doing investing/trading mostly. I have a caravan and a rental home we let out and our own home too ofc.
For two years I had a company called 'Bugsexpress' . We bred cockroaches, tarantulas, mantids,...
I like to invest in p2p lending, crowdfunding and I am also investing in equities through different brokers.
On eToro.com for instance, I am a so-called 'Popular Investor' >> So far I've made about 33 percent this year, after making a lot of mistakes last year on that platform.
You can see my profile @ https://www.etoro.com/people/sanogoal .
I love to learn from better people than myself. I remember those shifts I read these forums for hours on hand...
Hopefully I can learn here some new tricks, and I hope I get into real entrepreneuring again ;-)
Hi Schonox,
Thanks for sharing your story and awesome to hear from someone who has experienced so much and taken on so many forms of entrepreneurship from real estate, to an "unusual niche" business, to even more modern investing in cryptocurrencies!
Out of curiosity, what does it take to create a company like Bugsexpress and how long did it take to become profitable? Is it something you could start in your own garage, or a small office/living room? What sort of risk is there to breed those types of things (they escape and affect the ecosystem?)?
Look forward to hearing about your story!
