launched a business, right move?

[mosdef]

So i was tired of reading and thought lets just take action. Made my own product and started selling on etsy and markets. So far etsy has been hard but been selling good locally.

Will this make me rich? Nope, will i learn stuff? Prob. But is this the right way to go? My plan was to just launch anything to learn stuff and take it from there. Even if it fails.

Now im having second thoughts, still i dont wanna jump from thing to thing.

You started. That's half the battle won. I say continue what you're doing, learning all you can about entrepreneurship along the way, but spend some serious time thinking about your next move. When you get a good idea that seems scalable and profitable, put the etsy thing aside and go for it. You can always come back to your etsy gig later if things don't work out. I often sold on eBay between businesses.

thanks! Im thinking that if i premote more and start selling more. I can launch my own e-commerce and from there take in more and more products, and after a while have a e-commerce selling more stuff than only my own products

I'm the kind of person who thinks that taking action is much more important and efficient then studying the theory part.
I think you did the right thing. In the worst case you will learn a lot, so keep up and good luck !

Nice work getting the ball rolling! Rep $ sent.

I take my endeavors to the bitter or sweet end Push it till' you break it. At that point I either fix it again (pivot) or dump it and start a new business with the knowledge gained.

Yes i guess its better to push it. I think its my old habits telling me its easier to jump from idea to idea so i dont have to step outside my comfort zone.

Yeah bro, stick with it. You've actually started the business, so honour the commitment.

I also vote to keep at it. Just keep your eyes and mind open for opportunities and paths within your field, and play on your strengths. You may come across an idea for a new product based on customer requests, an add on service, or an indirect competitor who is doing something poorly that you could improve upon. One of my biggest sources of revenue right now is from something that I wasn't originally involved in when I started my company, but it fit in with my existing infrastructure and I gave it a shot.

Awesome man. Definitely the right move.

Start. Learn. Fail. Try again. And ultimately you will succeed.

Matter of fact is just had my first order from outside my own country!
