Hi,
My name is Mac and I live in the U.S. in the good ol' state of NC.
I found this forum from reading TMF and I've been lurking here for quite a bit.
I am an Economics major on my last year of university. I work a part-time job at the grocery store, but I know working for other people isn't going to work out for me. My goal is to be financially free before I turn 30.
I have an idea for a fastlane business which is a trading and auction site for a niche product. There is a real need there, I just need to learn the web development and advertise it. I have heard from some people that its too time consuming to learn the complexities of making an auction-type website and perhaps I should hire someone to do it or outsource it. If I did that, what would be stopping whoever I gave the job to from doing it themself and taking my idea? I figure I'll just learn but I am somewhat torn on where to start. I've read in some places that there is an auction script premade for wordpress, and in other places I've read that auctions and buy/sell websites are too complicated for wordpress.
Thank you to MJ for bringing value to my life with the book and this forum and thank you to all of you for your posts. i look forward to getting to you know you guys better.
