One of the biggest issues I have noticed with those looking to start a business and become entrepreneurs in this day and age is the fact that those with online businesses scream the loudest. If you are a young dude/girl growing up having spent most of your life with a small amount or very little money the most readily available insight into the lives of the rich now comes from social media. I know myself that this was an issue I struggled with for a very long time. While objectively I knew that there were rich people in a wide majority of industries the only insights I had ever seen was from people who made money on the internet and wanted to teach me how to do it. There were no big examples in my life of those who went about it through B2B methods or with brick and mortar businesses. The one thing that gave me the belief that I too could become successful was seeing others around my age and from similar circumstances rise from nothing to something... but it was all through social media/internet businesses.
My plea today is to other young entrepreneurs out there who are only beginning on their journey. Don't discount the power of getting involved in the unsexy industries. There is money to be made there and often times it can eventually lead to the promised land of passive income which everyone seems to crave.
Work hard, find someone to follow, don't ask them how you can provide value to them, instead figure it out yourself and then deliver for them even if it means doing grunt work which doesn't scale.. BE RELIABLE.. Figure things out as you go along and eventually people within your network will bring you golden opportunities. Many big business people have plenty of opportunities that they can no longer take advantage of due to time constraints, the fact that they have leveled up and can make even more money with bigger opportunities. FILL THE GAP FOR THEM. It doesn't matter what education you have, if you went to college etc.. what matters is are you reliable, can you be trusted and have you done the ground work to be able to take advantage of opportunities when they come.
