How Long Did It Take You To Start Your First Business?

[juresesko]

Hi fastlaners!

Do you know how long did it take you to start your first business after figuring it out that entrepreneurship is the thing you want to do?

What gears clicked before you started? Were you scared when going into your first venture? What was your first step in the process?

I've heard about entrepreneurship in March when I read The Millionaire Fastlane and since then my direction didn't change but I still haven't started a business yet.

I started to focus on Home Design and I'm trying to figure out how to make a better atmosphere in different parts of the house by including crystals, different scents, plants and other pleasant things around the house.
This would provide value for the family by making each of the residents feel better in their own way from your son to your grandpa.

• How do you think I should approach something like that do you think that selling online is the way to go?
• Should I order things from China or some other part of the World? (I'm from europe)
• How many different things would you get for your first order?

I will appreciate every reply sent and I hope we can make a great conversation out of it.
