I know that many of you guys have been through what I am going through, FTE and all. And I would love to get some feedback on this. I am ready to dive into entrepreneurship again and I would hope to be on the other end of this some day and give advice to others.
I have created a "me too" business in the past with mediocre results, but it was one of the most fun things I have ever done. I quit after a while because the business was not anything special and was getting the results it deserved. Good months were around $1500-2000 in sales.
I have now decided to quit my job as a financial broker to focus on building something that will eventually sustain a lifestyle of freedom, mostly geographical freedom. But I dont want to build another "me too" business, so I will take some time to do my research and build something that offers value. But I will be sure to execute when time is due.
The plan is to build a business around web site design as I have already done this for paying customers in the past to fund my expenses while I work on an eCommerce project.
Please comment on my progress plan:
1. Find clients for web site design (20 cold emails per day)
2. Get enough work to sustain 2 months of living
3. Quit my job
4. Really dive deep into prospecting to get enough work to sustain some months
5. Start building a business on an idea that I believe in
6. Gradually transfer from web site design to ecommerce
Or, would you rather take on a day job that pays expenses and start working on ecommerce in the spare time straight away?
