Hello, community. I know it's been quite a while since I've contributed to the forum in anyway and there are certain reasons for that.
First off, I felt that at my young age, I wasn't mentally capable of taking actions that would put me farther down my road to financial freedom. I allowed everyone else's mis-guided thoughts cloud my judgment; that I was the crazy one for doing what I was trying to do. I almost fell into the trapped mindset of thinking I needed an 'education' to find happiness. To be successful. To be understood.
For those reasons, I put aside my financial freedom/future (figuratively and literally speaking) to find myself as a person.
After an extended period of time, a lot of partying and a few girlfriends, I've went full circle with my journey to freedom, but now I know the feeling of being a slowlaner and it isn't something I want be apart of ever again. The cheap high of wage-based slavery is something I will never understand. I Just had to embrace it fully to completely understand that it is a terrible route to happiness, along with cheap women and substance abuse.
Since re-vamping my fastlane journey, I've learned that consistent action is the ONLY way around the fear of taking said action. With that being said, taking action every second of the day is IMO, the Most-addicting feeling in the world. Overcoming the fear of failure, solving actual problems in the process, and seeing your hard work pay off is the most rewarding feeling in the world.
But I have to admit I'm a little stumped with this one particular area and i would like to hear the communities opinions on what the next step should be...
I Have been in contact with a few different suppliers for a few days now, and I'm ready to order sample products to vet there manufacturing process. My issue though really is rather rudimentary, I am paying for the sample's shipping through PayPal. the cost is relatively small (roughly $35ish USD) and that's fine, I have no problem paying for sample shipping, but Is there some type of risk with sending money to the company through PayPal while staying in communication on Alibaba?
The spokesperson I'm speaking with said it was fine to pay through PayPal for the sample. But is there something I'm missing? I just don't want to feel like I have it figured all out to then find out I screwed up. All criticism/questions are welcome, I love hearing from this great community of people!
