Hello all,
I'm a 21 year old 3rd year university student studying economics and finance (pointless I know)
But I need your advice
Probably like some of you, I've always been an aspiring entrepreneur whom has attempted to start various businesses and have had my overwhelming fair share of failures.
As I'm winding down to my last summer break before I'm thrown into the real world, I wanted to know what you all think is the best way to utilize this break in pursuit of my dream.
Out of all the businesses I've attempted, I currently have a very specific niche type event hosting company that I operate solely from my phone on social media. I net roughly 5-7k per 1 day event in my hometown (The ceiling can't get much higher for that, also isn't very scalable) which I still plan to continue throughout the summer even if I have to catch a round trip flight home for the events.
(1-2 events)
My dream is to build my entrepreneurial journey while living in South FL: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm etc
For the summer, I have narrowed things down to 3 options
Stay at home
Please, let me know your honest thoughts!
Thanks, Fellas!

Stay at home
- Live basically for free
- Would be able to spend money on local ventures
- Lots of distractions from Friends & Family
- Lots of time can be spent towards side gig
- Would be taking university classes during the summer
- Work at a bank ($20/hr x 40/hrs a week)
- Live basically for free ($2k relocation grant)
- Doing work, I'd have little to no interest doing in the future
- Live in Tampa Florida for the summer
- Little time can be spent towards side gig (event hosting co. at home)
- Move to Miami, FL for the summer
- Spend $2k out of pocket for rent for the duration of the summer
- Fear of the unknown, not knowing where income would be coming from other than my event hosting company in my hometown 12 hours away.
- Would be completely free
- Able to put my head down, create business systems, learn skills, get hands dirty with digital marketing, e-commerce etc
Please, let me know your honest thoughts!
Thanks, Fellas!
