Hello all, my name is Frank I'm a full time student and I work full time as a Valet.
My job makes me depressed even thinking about going in it. The people I work with are no good scums and always steals tips I have told my manager about it numerous amounts of times and he refuses to do anything except give me a 50 cent raise. (What is that going to do for anyone?)
I have read the Fast-lane millionaire and it is easily the most motivational book I've ever read. I am now going down MJ's list of recommended books in hopes of one day opening my own business.
I am in a dilemma on what i should do. I have looked into drop-shipping and also opening up a Vapor shop. (E-cig). The Vape shops in Boston have been doing fairly well and it looks like it's on its path to replacing smoking soon.
The thing about all of this is that I do not know where to go about opening my own business and if I should quit my job. I work a 3-11 everyday and it is so time consuming. I do feel that it kills my creativity. I do not want to quit because it will make my mother disappointed and my girlfriend will look down on me.
I'm 20 years old, turning 21 in December, I realize that now is my time. I do not have any mortgage and debt I have to worry about. My financial aid covers all my school cost. I do feel like school is a waste of time, I have been going for 3 years and have not learned a single thing from it. I read a book and learn more about business than what my professors have taught me!
My question is what would you do? And how do I even go about opening a business. I'm tired of working for somebody else. I'm not looking to immediately be a million dollar company but I would at least like to make enough money so that I do not have to work anymore! I have around 15k saved and I am willing to use it all if the right opportunity presents itself.
Thank you all for taking the time to read, please leave me some ideas or some feedback, I would very much appreciate it.
