Hello guys,
It´s been 2 year now since I joined this websites. 2 years ago, I started a small ecommerce with car spares. Now, after 2 years I sold the business and earned first Mio.

Now looking for new ideas? could you help? I will try to execute them

I have few ideas:
1 - industrial paintshop - big entrance costs
2 - ecommerce for women
3 - property

what do you think? Thanks

how about an intro, or re intro, or even a post on how you did what you did.

as for ideas, there is a whole world full of them. pick 1

maybe this is just me, but I'd need a bit more information before I could even think about making a suggestion/comment. ie: property....as in investment? production? rental?

HI, Sorry, here is my Re-intro.
Hello everybody, I am very impressed with this forum. It is really nice to be among you "already and nearly millionaires"

I am 27 years now, very very strongly motivated. I have established a small biz a year ago which created me sales around 150 000 USD in this year 1.
Now I am thinking about selling it and move to higher level. (dad is crazy about hearing that )
But I want more ... I would like to find an experienced mentor here to help me to shift a gear up and move faster.

I have also established a classic car club to get among VIP guys. I think i did it. Now we have a club with more than 50 members owning cars worth nearly 10 mil USD. And I am the chairman

But I want to make my dreams real and move faster and faster forward.
I enjoy reading stories of succesful people, I love traveling, sports, nice cars (and girls ) and would like to visit US one day.

Interesting did you set up this club and subsequently use the status as chairman to drive most of the sales through your business?

Congratulations on your success by the way!

 

[Enzo_82]

Actually not much. But I was in the business and met lots of interesting people. Wealthy and clever people. But now I try to look for new ideas where I can use my execution.
I think I am better in execution than in finding ideas. That is the reason why I am asking for them.
thx.

So, which of these is true? I think you're just a troll.

and what is wrong with this? both are true.

 

[TheTruth]

Enzo, if you did indeed accomplish what you stated, then great job so far.


That being said, you won't be able to come on this forum having made some money and then hoping to get a mentor to help you make millions.

Here is why:

- Nobody on here knows you or anything about you

- How many people here have you helped in any way?

- How many posts have you made helping someone with their business given your experience?

- How many posts have you made giving great insight and putting yourself on the line for others to read?

etc. etc.

My point is, everything you write is going to be viewed as "perceived value" ... you have to prove to the forum that is it actual value


Make a real introductory post, give us your background, things you have done etc.

Then make some contributions on the forum where you have knowledge in.

After you have gained some respect, then start asking questions but make them way more specific then "whats a great idea for me to invest in"

If you are truly successful, you will know that successful people, don't even want to read questions such as the one you posed. They will only take someone seriously if they have done their part of the bargain (in this case research(found a need) + plan of action).

 

[Enzo_82]

The Truth,

Thank you for your post. You are right. Maybe I should start again.

At University I had an opportunity to meet my friends dad restoring british classic cars. Because we live in eastern Europe not so many older people used to speak English. Then I realized and opportunity, jumped to car, travelled to UK and visited almost all spare parts producer and wholesales.
Then I started to promote the business. It was very difficlult in the beginning. Anyway after my graduation I spent the whole year doin the business with final sales around 150 000 USD.
The second year was very tough as the crisis came, but I still had sales slightly over 100 k.
This year I was back on first 1 sales numbers and decided to sell and I did it. The business can not grow bigger in my country.

THe reason why I sold the business was simple. I would like to be bigger. I studied a lot during this period, surounded me by clever and also rich people. BUt as I wrote, I am better in execution as in finding new ideas. So I came back here to have a chance to discuss with similar people.
you mentioned Mentor - yes, this is also very importnant for me and I am still looking for someone who achieved it in big world. We are very small country and I am looking for someone who can open my mind to the whole world ( I hope you understand my idiom) People who achieved it, see world bigger and see bigger opportunities. And I would like to find someone here, who can help to develop me.

Hope this clears the situation little bit.

Enzo, congrats on your accomplishments. May I ask what country are you from?

 

[Enzo_82]

HI Mohawkdcg,

I am from Czech Republic

So I don't understand, you have created and sold one business and have now created a second business which is doing $150k/year that you are considering selling?

How much is a mio?

NO, it is still one business. I was thinking to sell it 2 years ago, but crisis hit my branch as well, so I had to wait.
Mio - Million. But I sold it for few millions in my currency which hundreds thousands in USD.

 

[Ikke]

A mio is a million I think

EDIT: OP post hadn't loaded yet, sorry for the double answer.

1 million cz equals about $55,000 usd

Reality.CZ - Rodinný d

That's what $55k USD can get you there.

The number really doesn't matter, I don't think. Making my first million will be amazing but it will only remind me that I'm still far from my goal. This guy's goal might have only been 1 million.

I don't think anyone here can answer for you 'what now'. That's for you to answer yourself.

 

[Enzo_82]

I received more than 100kUSD. My goal is far bigger that is the reason why I sold the business. I can not get more from this business. There not bigger market in my country.

 

[The-J]

So are you asking what your next venture should be?

Do whatever you want!

The Czech Republic is a popular destination for college students (like 1/4 of my friends are there right now lol) because it's fun, historic, and cheap. Since it's so cheap, I'd imagine that you could probably retire if you wanted! So do whatever your heart desires and don't ask strangers on the Internet what you should do with your life.

You are right, it is my choice. I asked for some ideas like your one.

 

[Nick]

If i were you, i would try to look into doing the ecommerce thing you did in the Czech Republic at a larger scale - a spare car parts site for a bigger European market, or even USA. Since you have some expertise in the area, it's your best bet at a multi million dollar company i think. Other than that, fishing for ideas to make a multi million dollar business based on what some strangers say on a forum... i do not know about that...

 

[Enzo_82]

HI Nick,

Thank you for your idea. I have thought about this, but general market is small. I would like to start something bigger.
As I wrote previously, I am rubbish in new ideas, better at execution, I think.

Anyway, I am very please for your time and effort. As it is very nice to see that also other members on this forum tries to help. I really appreciate this. thank you.

This may or may not be true, but the fact that you think it makes it true. It's a limiting belief, and one you need to disburse yourself of.

Instead of just "accepting" the fact that you are "bad at coming up with ideas" how about you spend a few days, weeks, or even months actually coming up with ideas and trying them. This will be far more valuable for you than any ideas anyone on this forum might give you, since you will have also taken action and figured out for yourself what may or may not work.

Hi Enzo_82

Spent some time in Prague recently. Absolutely loved it and was blown away by so many aspects of the city. The people were friendly, the food was great, so many things to see around the city and your metro system was brilliant! Hoping to go back in the not to distant future!

Congratulations on the business sale!

Thank you. Probably you are right.
