Hello FastLane!

[stedex]

Hi everyone!

I am 21 years-old from the sunshine state! I have always had a passion for business, I started selling candy in middle school and never let a few visits to the office with my parents and the vending machine company stop me!

I love entreprenuership but have lately been stuck in a rut after my last business didn't do well. I blame all on myself, I didn't love the business going in and without passion, what's the point? I am ready to purse my next venture, just not sure how to get started.

I look forward to connecting with as many people as I possibly can on this forum and building connections, business relationships and if fate has it, friends. Thank to @MJ DeMarco and the FastLane team for this amazing forum, I hope to become one of the forums success stories!

Best Regards,

stedex

Are you sure "passion" is behind the reason?

May I ask what the business was?

Hi MJ, thanks for the response! And I am positive it was passion, I previously started a clothing company for CrossFit clothing with a cousin of mine.

The dream was always his, he brought me on-board because of my business mind and some start up capital that he needed. But he was the heart behind the business, I was just the brain.

After he moved away for college he left me to run the business on my own, and I was never a fan of sport in itself and so for me, it was all about passion. I fell out of love and since I had gotten my capital back, I no longer felt the need to "push" the business.

I hope this answers your question. Thank you again for your response. By the way sorry if it looks weird on the website, I'm answering this thread from my phone.
