Hi all, it's Montana Myke, and I don't have any simple method other than trying out the copy-writing tricks I've been reading about on this forum. The view counter will tell me if it worked!
At 43 I seem to be older than most of the members here. I did the good grades, good school thing only to realize by the end of uni that STEM types like myself are just groomed to be exploited by others. Unfortunately I didn't make the leap from that insight to running my own business until much later.
My business interest is basically financial services for the underserved. I'm not sure if it's good etiquette to get more detailed or if this is the right forum area for it so I'll leave it at that. I do know that it's a potentially multi-billion-dollar business for the person who connects all the fragments together. I'm not saying I'll be that person but I'd like to at least position myself to be part of it, maybe have my company bought out early on. That part is also different...although MJ says selling your company is a legitimate fastlane tactic it seems most people are trying to sell products and services for immediate income.
I believe my business will be more along the lines of modern internet startups, where the product/service is free (or close to it) and the value in the company is a large user base and information about those users, as well as the relationships I've built with key business partners along the way. Also, although I'm sure this is the business area I want to be in (it's the last thing I think about when I go to sleep, and the first when I wake up) I don't necessarily know (yet) the best way to approach it. That's why I'm here, for advice and especially from other members who may have a background in the financial system.
