I think this is about the 6th or so post I've made here in the past 2 years. Admittedly, I haven't been apart of this community as much as I should be, I've been making posts, seeing replies to learn, then going off and trying to apply said things.

Now for where I'm at in my business. I'm 22, fresh out of college as of May of 2025, and had started a bootstrapped clear protein business in February of 2025. I have a degree in finance, work experience in marketing, and nutrition supplement store & personal training experience. I've always tried the latest new side hustle or business fad growing up (mobile detailing, furniture flipping, drop shipping, day trading, other failed bootstrapped business ideas, etc...). But my latest project has been a protein powder business with only 1 SKU that I white-label out of a manufacturer cross country here in the USA. I've been so caught up on "being my own boss" that I failed to realize I was definitely not ready to take on a new business venture, at least capital wise.
