Hello all!
I have been a lurker for a couple months now and decided to make an account.
Here is a little intro about myself. I am 27 years old with a degree in business with HR and corporate mgmt. For me personally I thought I would be using my degree but I ended up with jobs not related to my degree. When I had these jobs, I worked my a$$ off like I owned the company, when I left they wanted me to stay because they knew I was a asset to the company but I knew I was worth more than that. Even though college was not for me, I will honestly say it opened up my mind to more about opportunities in which it would not be possible if I did not go to college.
I currently operate an automotive parts business with a partner. We wholesale and use ecommerce platforms. I would say it’s probably the best/worse decision I made. We are always constantly adapting to the market and it’s hard because they are always changing. But this is what is needed to keep serious entrepreneurs on their toes. I am always constantly learning new things and that’s the good thing about having your own business.
I want to learn from others on this forum. One day I want to come up with a service/product that will provide value to others. The current business we operate, it’s a stepping stone to something greater. They say “learn how to make $2 out of $1 before you can $5”. That I honestly believe. One thing for sure is I need to get out, see, learn, adapt otherwise me obtaining this goal is nonexistent.
Thanks for reading!
