I'm a 17-year-old boy from Germany, currently for about half a year an electrician trainee (I chose this job because if everything fails I can still open an electrician business).

For over 1 Year now, I research every day about "How to Get Rich", you ask what I did in the year... NOTHING not 1 website not 1 Sale not 1 Business, not even 1 Cent

Every time and really want to do something Money Related I'm stopping myself by telling my self "It's too Dangerous" or "I'm 17 it's Illegal to make sales and I don't want to get arrested because of taxes"

But Still there are other 17-year-olds making hundreds of thousands, and they seem fine.

Is my Fear just a self limiting belief?


And Please you if you have any Tips or want to help me message me on this Forum

Good luck, you're in a great spot getting started early. I wouldn't beg for private message tips though since they're already readily available in the forum.

Thanks, i changed it
If you haven't read MJ's books yet I'd highly recommend taking some time and following the advice given here. You'd likely find some of the more experienced people more willing to help you and answer questions.

Yes.

Be conscious of it and question it.

Also ask "who put this block here?". Was it me? Was it my parents? My friends? Family?

That is the stuff that kills dreams. Control it.

Yeah probably deep down you think you're not good enough. You might be afraid if things go well. You might be afraid of failing. Who knows. I sure don't, only you do. Either way, if you don't get it handled, you'll only be losing time. And time for a young man is his greatest asset.

It's something that solves itself in a few years when you get tired of not seeing results, doing the same stuff day after day, and realize no one is coming to save you. Of course, the price is a few years of your life learning that you are in a self-imposed mental prison. You'll realize that you had the key to this prison all along. You are the warden and the prisoner at the same time. Then you would get pissed off by everything and go out, plan, and take what is yours.

Or you'll be too comfortable or jaded to ever try living on your own terms. That's the worst.

I'm assuming you don't want to wait though. You have to realize no one is going to give you permission to build a business. To think and live "Fastlane". Fastlane is for the 1%, so the 99% will think that it is either delusional or straight-up bullshit. No one will say that you somehow fit some abstract requirement to be an entrepreneur. There is no resume you have to hand in or boss to give you direction. No management team. No nothing. It's you and you alone.

So give yourself permission. To quote @Andy Black's quote.

"Say "I am enough. Because I say I am."

Thank you, this was kind of an eye-opener
