This is true, working is overrated. I want to own my own business. It’s likely to fail based on the data but you only need to succeed once and then you’re free
It's a lot of hard work to be sure. But you'll learn a lot of skills even if you do fail. It's a good launch pad into future endeavors. Just think of the failures as lessons, and you'll be able to move forward in the face of depressing odds. If I may ask, what kind of business do you want to own?
@ I want to own a jewellery business. I work in a boutique store now so I can get experience. I went to the Diamond District in New York, and I decided that I wanted to sell jewellery.
It all starts with inspiration. An old friend of mine I used to know sold gems for awhile (not quite the same thing but a lil bit related) One of the big advantages he had was the ability to undercut the market through his connections with a gem excavator. That cut out the middle man when it came to distribution, greatly lowering his costs. Though you are just starting out, if you can impress upon people your passion for the business, you may be able to make similar connections. I highly recommend chatting up people not only in the jewelry business but also related fields in the area of distribution (deliverers, diamond cutters/appraisers/craftsmen, excavators, and of course, the sellers) Good luck on your endeavors tomocchi. I shall be rooting for you.
@ thank you for the advice! I am 16 today so I can now do many more things legally! I want to pursue more hours at my job and save up so that I can do what you advise and try and get closer to the manufacturers. I think one day I will have to go to Africa for this. I think I’m in a position now where most of the things will occur naturally; the only thing I need to do now is find an assaying manufacturer to work with.
