Hello all and welcome to Sagemoney's fastlane extravaganza!
On a more serious note I've never been more excited to create a thread in my life. I am going to document my first excursion into entrepreneurship throughout this thread and hope that my eventual roadblocks and failures will help others on their path to freedom.
My story is similar to many here but with a few caveats, I've dropped out of college three times, been to jail for dumb shit, grew up sleeping on the floor and washing my clothes in the bathtub. As soon as I was old enough I've always had a slowlane job and was able to advance up the ladder quickly in most of them by just working my a$$ off. Which got me to where I am today making pretty good money at 26 but left feeling void and incomplete. I have all this energy but here I am wasting away working 8 hours and not providing anything to anyone. Most of my friends have got good factory jobs, buying new cars and clothes and complaining to me how much they hate their jobs and coworkers. I almost fell into the same trap buying 1600 sunglasses and clothes trying look wealthy when in reality I was trying to fill that void. One day I woke up and something snapped "I have to do this for 40 years and hope nothing bad happens so I can retire" "I have to sit through these endless meetings and fake smiles of my coworkers" "Two weeks out of F*cking 52 to myself and I should be grateful?"
I was being drained of all my power while those at the top grew plump, I could see the despair in the eyes of the older folks around me "Got my Retirement app going sage! just a 465 days! woot woot!" In my head I'm like "you've been waiting to get old?" One thing I learned early was if you just shut up the world will tell you exactly whats wrong with it and how to avoid those mistakes.
So I started searching how I could get escape, A post on Reddit lead me to TMF and I've been crawling the forum for the past week absorbing all this precious knowledge.
Now I'm ready to put it into action..
I've decided to try my hand at eCommerce, I've begun speaking with suppliers in asia but I would like to try and keep the product domestic. My google searches for suppliers here have yielded no results so I may be forced to use alibaba. If anyone has any tips finding domestic suppliers PM me. I may have to search a bit harder in @biophase and @Walter may threads.
Thanks again for reading and I will be making weekly updates or daily if something big happens
Let's get it!
