Hello guys,
I would really really appreciate any suggestion.
Story goes like this:
Several years ago we have started photography business with one friend. Shortly after I ended alone.
I was always terrified for so many years to have employees. Then I was making 10 000 $ dollars per month and realized one day I need to overcome this fear if I want to go to the next level.
I went to Asia to do the same business last year. Well, I went bankrupt this year. Reason? Huge cultural differences.
I came back borrowed money and said to many people that this time I know what am I doing. People thought I am nuts. Within exactly six month I have a team of 25 people and from 0 making very close to 7 figures.
I did all this only to be able to fund my dream project. I have already funds to start something. I want to go to the next level. But I have many problems in my opinion to solve.
a) I have moved from Europe to Asia. I am not fluent in the language and do not still understand deeply the culture.
b) I am lacking business basics. For example I have a cousin and she keeps repeating I need to establish branding, have a clear structure, plans, business plans etc. I did my business in punk and afterwards there are so many things to solve all the time.
c) I need to create a platform. I have a very clear idea. The problem is I am not a tech guy. People think I am crazy since I do not understand coding. I know there must be a way. The problem is what path to choose and how to know somebody trustworthy. To have a business partner is one option, second option is to outsource it.
d) I am lacking business contacts, not many friends in this country
I think I need a mentor, lot of networking, learn the langage, read books, make friends. A lot to do.
Any suggestions are highly appreaciated! Thank you for reading.
