Hello from Toronto

[ksam]

Hi I'm Sam (28) from Toronto and I have started my journey to entrepreneurship two years ago. These two years have been very tough for me. Lots of failure as I basically started to learn business from scratch and I have made tons of stupid mistakes along the way. Nonetheless, I believe I have made the right decision to accept the challenge and hopefully, I can join the fastlane in the near future.

In the last two years I have attempted a few different business such as selling Asian snacks online (Yes I'm Asian) and Fastasy Basketball Data Analysis website. None of them works out in the end but I feel the lessons I have learned will be the building blocks of my future success.

I just ordered The Millionaire Fastlane and I'm quite excited to read it. Another favourite business book of mine is Blue Ocean Strategy, which talks about how to expand existing market boundary where competition is irrelevant. Cashvertising is a great read too. Greatly sharpen up my sales knowledge as I have never sold anything in my life before I started the path of entrepreneurship.

I have recently started a website selling teddy bear online. Lots of frustration and I never know selling a teddy bear can be this difficult. I'll take advantage of this wonderful forum here and hopefully make my business a great success!

Sam
