Before reading "The Millionaire Fastlane " I KNEW that a business was necessary. Like most people, I didn't know where to start. "everything is already being done!" I repeated to myself after crumbling up page after page of my notebook.
Then it clicked. The whole concept of value skew changed my perception. Taking a look at some entrepreneurs, I watched a handful of episodes of "Shark Tank", where entrepreneurs showcase their ideas to a team of investors in hope of getting funding in exchange for equity etc.
Let me tell you, nothing stood out as "sexy", what more- investors sometimes fought over these businesses. In my journey, I stupidly thought I HAD to find an invention, concept or system that was 1) never seen before & 2) changes the world.
Shark Tank & TMF changed this idea. A lady created a website that advertised children's events & took a percentage when a customer bought through her site. Another pair of gentlemen created a noodle business, both of which received funding & are thriving to this day.
I know many of you understand value skew, but especially for those new here- Shark Tank gives real life examples of this concept & I suggest you give it a watch!
