Hey everyone!
This is my first post on this website, fresh off of reading The Millionaire Fastlane . I've had some great ideas I would like to work on, but I just needed that nudge to get me started. I think this book is what has really got me going. I am going to launch my own business that follows all of the commandments detailed din the book. I am a college student headed into my senior year. I know the book and many of you may not praise school like society does today, but it has been the best decision I have ever made. Not because of the education I am receiving, but because of all the ideas I have exposed myself to that has changed my view on the future. If I hadn't gone to school, I do not think entrepreneurship would ever spark my interest and I probably would have been locked into the Slow-lane for the rest of my life. But now, I cannot let that happen.
As an almost dirt-broke college student, I want to begin to work on something that will provide adequate income by the time I graduate next spring. The summer is the perfect time to launch, and I will be working a full time life guarding job in order to fund my adventure. I will be posting regularly about my progress, and look to you to critique and advise me on your opinions and beliefs.
The Idea:
As a college athlete, health and fitness is something I've been interested in my entire life. I understand the health and fitness industry and can identify business trends in this market. I tried a stint last spring to start a website that offers personalized workout plans, but quickly closed down. I had minimal marketing funds, and did not receive one sale in the four months I was operating. Luckily, it was very low costs to start-up so I did not suffer too much.
Now what I am interested in is private label sports supplements. As an athlete who believes in muscle functionality, I grow tired of seeing ads for sports supplements that promise you will look like a sex god. I am not interested in that, and know many people that are skeptical of nutritional supplements because every advertisement seems like is was made by a juiced up jack-a$$ that everyone hates in the gym.
As an athlete, I want to create a line of sports supplements that serves the athletes of the world, and dispels the negative connotations of the most basic nutritional supplements. There are plenty of sports nutrition companies out there, but I believe I can market my products much better than anyone has yet. This is a staple in The Millionaire Fastlane .
Progress:
I want to start with as little costs as possible. Therefore, I want to start by selling what I consider to be the most basic and useful sport supplement- whey protein. I am looking into private label manufacturers and have made an excel spreadsheet ready to compare these manufacturers. I aim to reach out to them by the end of the week. Please let me know if you know any manufacturers that you like!
The plan is to start selling through e-commerce set up through Square Space. It's a great website host that makes it so easy to create a beautiful site. I already own the domain to my probably company name: "Tiberius Training"
I have created social media accounts to promote and build the launch of my business, whenever that may be. Follow me!

I will post daily to keep followers engaged and excited. This is pretty much the extent of the work I will be doing this week to work towards my goals. Please feel free to comment with any advice you may have!
P.S. I have not created a business plan and intend to use this progress thread to organize my thoughts and replace the dreaded business plan. Also, I am contemplating a crowd funding campaign to raise funds for my business. Let me know what you think!
I hope to be inspired and to inspire anyone trying to succeed on their own, no matter where you may be in life. I loo forward to sharing my journey with you.
