Finding my route to a successful future.
Hi, 18M here trying to figure my way through the next years of my life.
I grew up in poverty with a single mother of 3, having to be extremely cautious of every penny spent. However, I have always had the ambition to live a life of financial freedom, being able to afford luxuries and a lifestyle where money truly is not an issue. The current goal is to be on 10k months within the 4 years.
I have recently made the decision I want to avoid university and build myself up through entrepreneurship. Despite having plans on many different ideas I would love to bring to life, I feel quite tempted to initially start on some business models I see on social media. These range from Amazon FBA to high ticket sales etc.
I understand the harsh reality is most of what I would see on the internet is just a hook for these influencers and gurus to sell a course but I do truly wonder if there is actual legitimacy and real money making potential for me to commit my time and effort into anything shown online.
For example, looking into Amazon FBA, the profit margins are becoming very narrow, it is extremely difficult to compete against big companies with a much larger cash flow, finding a good product is difficult and making it last long term is even harder and the list goes on.
Some guidance would be immensely appreciated. Anything from real models to commit to or even general advice is all encouraged and welcomed. I would also love to hear some of your personal stories of success and how the route there was made.
Thank you for taking the time to read!
