Hi everyone, I've posted here a couple of times, but I haven't made a proper introduction yet, so here it is.
I'm 15, and after reading the millionaire fastlane I decided I needed to do something instead of stagnating all day, so took action and started a dropshipping store, pissed away $1400 and closed down my shop in a couple of months. Lesson learned.
Now I'm thinking I should get into freelance web design to make some money and learn a skill, but I'm also working on designing and manufacturing a product prototype of mine, as well as wanting to work some minimum wage jobs to get some capital.
I know I am probably spreading myself out too thin, and I feel like I'm action faking, but then I also feel like I'm action faking when I read books and watch videos on business and entrepreneurship, so I'm kind of stuck in a catch 22 here.
What should I do? I really want to finish my product, but that requires some capital, I am applying to many min wage jobs to get some capital, but I don't think it will be enough so I'm thinking of doing some freelance web design, but then again I'm the most incompetent person at computers you will ever meet, I understand I shouldn't complain and just start learning code, and I can probably do it, but I'm worried it will be a useless skill for my situation and I'll just be action faking instead of focused on the bigger picture.
So what should I do?
