I rode the bus to school for over a year and a half and had a job through the school that paid minimum wage with a cap of 20 hours per week. With that I saved up to buy a car, equipment, and books for the idea, all while forgoing nearly every unnecessary purchase. It doesn't have to happen all at once. It started as an idea to make a little money on the side and grew. I don't want to be doing what I do now for the rest of my life. Shit, I don't even want to do it for the next 10 years. But, it is a stepping stone. So, sure, have the big idea that you would some day like to get too, but in the mean time, start with something more manageable that will get you there. If you always keep that lofty/expensive ambition in the forefront of your mind, you will miss all of the small things you can do to get there right now. Too much thinking leads to too little action (which is a habit I'm still trying to break).

There ya go! What is the venture?

I'm currently in the early stages of another separate business. I just am running into issues when it comes to the marketing side of things - the stuff itself is manageable with my savings, but I think the necessary marketing is way up there.

I do get what he is saying too. A good mentor can make all the difference in the world. I had some people that helped with advice financially about what to avoid, but not much else (it wasn't much, but it proved invaluable imo).



Such a thing exists here. It was formerly called Athletes Performance, but is now EXOS. It is mostly for athletes, and you need money to be there (something with those sort of people and amenities is impossible to give to the public for cheap as labor, knowledge, equipment, etc all cost money). They have trainers for all sorts of goals, rehab/prehab, psychologists, nutritionists, etc. They train athletes, military/ex-military, first responders, and anyone else with a goal and the money to pay for it. I have a friend who was an ER doctor at the Mayoclinic in Scottsdale and he trained there. The stuff they do is pretty incredible as far as the all-encompassing scope of their work.

I feel like you have one of these revolutionary posts every few months.

I'll be awaiting the next one.

Until you get up and do something about it instead of posting on a forum , it's going to keep happening

Buying bulk blown car audio amplifiers directly from the manufacturers, repairing, and reselling them is what started it. We are also moving into selling retail car audio equipment.
