Hi everyone, this is my first post!
This is Sergio from Italy, 31 years old, working as a registered nurse.
I have been involved in music since i was a child and still composing/producing as a hobby.
This is what i would do all the day if I could choose not to work anymore.
I would live the beach life, the place I was born (in southern Italy) and spending all day in writing and feeling the power of music.
What's my real life?
I work as a RN in Milan.
I grew up in a very closed mind environment, and discovered the full potential of the world when i was 24.
At the age of 24 i moved to the UK and lived there for 2 years between Brighton and London.
I studied as a nurse before moving abroad and the reason is because my parents both are nurses and because I had no idea what to do when i was 18 years old.
Of course i would have like to work as a musician, but growing up in a "world" where they teach you to be a script didn't let me see the things in the right perspective.
Now I am big and curious enough to saw how and where is the world. The world they don't teach at school.
I love creativity, i love passionate work and I have a passion for personal growth contents.
I want to get out of my scripted life and start my first business, with no background.
I am reading lots of books but at the same time don't know where to start.
Of course have a lots of ideas but don't really know how to make first steps to make it real.
I've read FASTLANE and bought but haven't started UNSCRIPTED .
First thing it came in my mind was to start opening a store in franchising so that could see what it means starting and business and be covered by someone who knows how it works, and gain some experience.
We're talking about 140.000€ to invest
in something geo-localized, something which is not the best business to start, to justify my willing to learn to work as an entrepreneur.
So maybe is not a great idea.
The risk-gain ratio is not the most productive.
Of course I've made my calculations and my market research, which give me good reason for this not to be a failure.
At the same time the scared part of me thinks this could be the only chance to start now.
The other part of me thinks it's not true.
I am only scared because don't know how to make the process on my own.
What do you thing about my first step to do into the enterprise world guys?
1. The franchising idea, as read in FASTLANE is not a great idea, but at the same time MJ in his first book talks about the FASTLANE HITCH-HIKING at the beginning of a process.​
In my case is a bad idea?
2. What do you suggest to do to move my first steps into the enterprise world?​

P.S. sorry for my english writing mistakes, and thank you for the great value given in this forum! Sergio
