Hallo,
I m here for some years now, yes, and I m one of those, who didn t achieve goals.
In the beginning, I had ideas.
I wanted a dropshipstore with 50 items in it.
After the initial euphory I tried to solve my problems with dropship sourcing, shopify and so on.
After two months I recogniced it being a shit and gave up. Being shit means: it was a bad idea AND I didn t want to do the shit to make it right to succeed.
I had a short area of success with trading FFP2 masks, but after the Covid hype I didn t dare to play big.
Than I had the idea of selling imported goods and the same game; I gave up.
I had an idea : a POD shop; T-shirts with prints of graffity photos. The tshirts were great! I bought some, as I liked them.
After about two months I recogniced it being to saturated and I gave up. Yes I even didn t delete the shops and let them run. I was the only customer. But it was shit. Being shit means: it was a bad idea AND I didn t want to do the shit to make it right to succeed.
I had an idea ob building motocross accesories.
I built them and I really had the feeling of doing good.
After constructing, building prototypes and than let them produce, I started advertisement, was disappointed about reactions and.. gave up. I dont really know, but imo there wasn t enough need and /or I didn t make shit enough to succeed.
Now I m out of ideas.
Today I talked with my wife about a entrepreneural career and that it s too late and yes, she said it s not too late.
So I m sitting here and thinking again. In which area I could do it.
What I can do : I can take metal, wood, plastic or similar and build something. My education enables me to take into account mass production eventually.
What I can not do : software, program, SAAS( Though I would love that due to theoretical possibilities), design ( I tried to design digital assets , but they were too bad to even start promising.
Now to the " help people" aspect : I love to help people, but I don t get to the get paid stage.
Now : What I want to do : ecommerce, but I m not able to source things.
In the end, when I read my thread, I read the word I in nearly every line and thet makes me so much more sad.
What should I do ?
