Hello fastlaners,
I am reaching out for help. I am walking around my city, looking to be struck by the thunderbolt of a Fastlane idea. I have heard and read of entrepreneurs who have had this "moment." I am desperately looking for mine. I am looking to start an online retail business of some kind. I am looking for a niche, one that suits me and one that I know is the one. Just watched a good mentor show on Bloomberg TV about homewetbar.com. Good show, good niche driven website that basically sells all sorts of bar/party/guy stuff, if you will (everything from drinking helmets to martini kits). Now, i actually do not care for the products but I do like that he has found a niche and is going for it. The mentor was Ben Fishman, CEO of Rue La La. Anyway, I thought if I asked you fastlaners and put my issue of not having an idea out into the universe, the universe will answer back to me.
I promise you all, I have the work ethic. It is a part of me. I worked on Wall Street as an equity trader at one of he biggest shops on the street and my focus was international markets (Latam, Europe, U.S., Asia, etc). I am a overachiever without a college education. I was let go due to downsizing at the end of June. I will have another opportunity early in 2012 to continue on but in my heart of hearts, I want to be an entrepreneur. I have known this for quite sometime. I do not want to go back to the corporate culture. I want to be in control of my future, not someone else. And, after reading MJ's life changer of a book for me, now is my time. But it is like I have writers block. I do have some ideas but they may be a little far fetched right now. Or, maybe they are nor that far fetched and fear is taking over because they are HUGE tasks. I am looking for the Law of Effection. I want to effect millions. And I want to experience passive income. I have been submersing myself in all sorts of entrepreneurial books. I have the tools and the drive. And I even have a little bit of capital.
I know I can't ask any of you for THE idea and this is not about that. I thought that talking it out in this forum could help me and get me into gear.
Thanks for your feedback in advance, I look forward to chatting.
