I was reminded this morning of the Sun Tzu quote, "Opportunities multiply as they are seized" and it just reminded me of how almost all of my business ventures (even those that failed) set me on the path to new and better opportunities.
For instance, I wanted to learn to sell private label products on Amazon and so I figured I'd start with retail arbitrage. This worked for a while, and people kept asking me what retail arbitrage was. I had been reading a lot of Kindle books and so I decided to write a kindle book to answer this question. This has led to me writing several Kindle books on other topics and starting a website. And now I'm making a list of projects I'd like to start when I have more time.
Each time I do something, I learn something that I take with me into the next opportunity and as I learn, I begin to see new opportunities. Thanks to this forum and all of the good information on here for just getting me to get started. And for those of you lurking as I used to, get something started!
