previous post for context IDEA - SCALING - QUESTION - repost of an idea i want thoughts on if anyone has the time
Some rambly thoughts ahead lol
I'm pretty confident in this being a viable thing to try out for real but I'm having trouble figuring out how to approach it. Seems that a lot of my troubles are coming from my circumstances. Seems as though it would make the most sense to set something up and get word around then make it legal and official later but the real issues start to come when I need to set it up. I can't really just do it all myself with my own computer for a website and such because it would be coming through internet at my parents and I would like to start all this up as a way to get living in my own so I need to set it up in a way that I can easily migrate to doing something like that, which means I'd have to stick to other services like square space for instance which I'm fine with and have used before but its not ideal and the other issue comes with having a location to receive stock to sell to people which I could send to my parents house again but thats not something I'd be comfortable with doing for similar reasons which means I'd have to use some service if such a thing exists where I can use another location to receive stuff. It would be easier if it was an official legal business from the get go because then I could get proper sponsoring and seed money through various things which would help with just about everything both marketing and physically setting up things but I feel like it wouldn't really be a solid idea to set up officially if i still didn't really have much as far as customers. Oh and theres also physically shipping stuff around, what services to use, I know all the flaws going on with the main stuff like ups, FedEx, USPS, dhl, etc, there are smaller ones thst may be helpful but a best case scenario to me would be having full control over that in some way even if it meant that I had to create another business just for that lol but then I know doing thst involves a whole lot of paper work in basically all directions and not just once but for just about every action...which is why it would make sense to use one of the companies I mentioned. Regardless of how things are actually done I still would have to build up people to use it in some way, which is pretty difficult without having something going either officially or unofficially but I know ways to get thst going pretty well through making it official but now I think I'm looping back onto myself So much to think about in so many directions, thats OK though because as chaotic as I seem right now its all actually pretty relatively straight in my head, just no idea how to actually get the ball rolling because my circumstances make it more difficult to do so unless I were to ask if it would be OK to use their stuff a bit for this but I'd reallllly rather not because its conflicting with the way I'd prefer to do things.
I suppose a way to start would be similar to sensei but that goes into a direction I dont want to go and I would have to make a course correct
Dunno if it would be a good idea but I could also begin by creating a space across platforms that lead into my business idea even before its actually going...a hype system, says a lot of things and what's gonna be happening but isnt here yet
But this requires having a plan first which I clearly dont got lol
Plus my end goal wouldn't be to have just this going, my brother has a similar plan to have multiple unrelated businesses feeding into a corp which are all owned by him for the reason that its better in the long run for many reasons from many directions
The other thing is that if I wanted to just get something going I could just be under his corp and then start something else to the same degree but that is also another case of going down a different path where I'd have to course correct
But my brother and I both seem to grasp this stuff well
Which begs the question, wonder if theres a way to get each other involved in the same thing because an opportunity exists to do this almost and we have a track record of consistently doing good when we work on the same stuff together
He has other plans already going though
