Time to quit

[Siloben]

Hello everyone.
My name is Simone, just turned 24 and I'm from The Netherlands ( so excuse my english). I am very excited to participate in this forum and learn a lot. Long story short. I took a (SHITTY) job to safe 15k and am now more than ready to quit and start my own business. I'm working on finding the best start up ideas within my budget. I want to do it right the first time because I'm not planning on going back to a regular job after I quit this one.
Any ideas are welcome!

Simone, welcome to freedom and what will probably be a very exciting adventure. Be prepared to work harder then ever before but at the same time being happy and loving what you do. What is most important is to pick something that you LOVE and I mean really enjoy. Your passion is what is key because it keeps you coming back day after day. "Doing it right the first time" is almost impossible so don't set that up as a criteria for success. It is more important to "Learn Every Time You Do Something"...

Find your passion and then go for it... know you will be successful and with proper discipline you will be.

Thanks for your reply Markbb,

Very helpful words, I will keep them in mind.
I don't really know what my passion is, so i'll have to figure that out first..

Welcome! I would suggest reading The Millionaire Fastlane first. And I suggest ignoring advice about basing your business around your passion. Read TMF and it will shed light on why "my passion" is a poor basis for a business.

Welcome!

I suggest:

1. Find a way to pay the bills (this can be freelancing, or any other hustle you can drum up) - if you don't do this, you may have to return to the dreaded job at some point.
2. Use your spare time to find a problem/pain-point/need, and then build a business that will solve it.
3. Market the hell out of your business.
4. Be rich.

It's that simple.

The hardest step there is (2). If you do (2) correctly, you may even fail in all the other steps, and you can still be successful.

Also 15K isn't a lot, so be careful how you spend it. I'd try to launch a business with as little as possible out of that. Also that money will be a good cushion while you find a reliable way to pay the bills. Whatever you do, guard that money carefully, that represents all of your current resources.

Oh and yeah - forget the passion stuff

Thanks for your Reply, Very helpful!!!!!!
I'm just now reading about that Passion stuff in the Book, Always found that 'finding your passion' stuff complicated so this is making things a lot clearer and easier.

Welcome, Simone. Read the forum and learn - great place to start. Find where you can deliver value and go for it! Don't expect your first venture to be a huge success, so keep failing forward!
