I'm sorry if I seem confused
But what is the purpose of this forum if not to share ideas and learn from each other on the path towards riches?!
And as for my dear friend Ungodly, it might be of amusement for you to know that I'm not a complete novice! I have once walked the path of riches at the age of 23 until 26. In 2009, I realised that Iran's petrol was being sanctioned, and I figured they may need to utilise their natural gas as an alternative for the auto industry. So i took the opportunity to export CNG & LPG kits and tanks from China & Netherlands to Iran. Brought in 4 investors from London and within 9 month I had single handedly dominated the market in Iran; provided quality and value, labelling myself as the English hand if God )
At our peak, after 2 years, we sold in excess of £3m per month!
Can your believe that?
I couldn't...my family couldn't! But the world was mine those days...
Time marched on and towards the middle of the 3rd year, one day on my way to the office, I noticed the queues for gas stations were suddenly empty!
There were always miles n miles of cars in line everyday...but that day, the stupid politicians had suddenly 10folded the price of gas in 1 day! Without any notice or news! They just felt like the demand was way too much...
They burnt us, and the competitors in the market, down to ashes!
I couldn't believe this either!
Two extremes in a matter if 2 yrs!
I had paid £2m to Chinese manufacturer just a few weeks before that, and £800k to Eindhoven! Now they didn't want to pay us back, saying "oh we've already manufactured your order"!
It took me nearly 2 years, until quite recently, to get it back and repay our investors!
I went bankrupt. So did my father. I spent 6 months in a single room as i suffered from a great depression. I felt this is the end for me. Mad at me and the world, not realising that I had chosen a biz which was "CONTROLLED" by a number of stupid politicians and it was my OWN fault and i should have thought that this could burn any day!
Anyways
I'm on this forum because MJ DeMarco's book slapped the fk out of me and showed me my past mistakes in business.
And if you, my dear friend Ungodly, don't want to share your thoughts specifically about the idea of my new business, and help me make a wiser decision about it, then at least don't call me a novice, nor tell me to walk the path and see where it takes me, for I have walked tall in my time and have burnt myself for a wrong decision of business once in life!
Enough said
