I have a problem
As many of you guys know I have posted about many business projects. After digging deeper I either found out the need was no longer there or the need had already been filled by someone else. It is a real problem and im starting to realize how bad not being committed to one project or goal really is.
The question becomes how do you find a REAL need and how do you know when truly found something worth building? I often hear background noise that sometimes changes my mind about the business venture im about to start... Why? Because im never confident enough that I found a REAL need.
For example: The other day someone told me eCommerce is a thing of the past and its not worth getting into due to amazon. However I have also heard success story's here on this forum. How do you know when someone is telling you accurate info about something or if they simply have no idea what they are saying?
No direction
I am not successful personally because I have no direction. I dive into a business idea and then soon scrap it because I find something wrong with it and talk myself out of it. Then I focus on something else and start the cycle all over again. I know this is bad. But I also feel like im focusing on B.S business ideas. I have no confidence is most of them.
Any example of this is my click bank product. After finding out most ppl are giving away there click-bank eBooks I scrapped the project.
Corporate job= motivation
I now have a corporate job. I know many people on this forum say a job equals comfort but it had the opposite effect on me. I go into work every day and it scares the shit out of me. These people think this is living life to the fullest ? Going into work to sit in a cubicle for 10 hours on nice summer days... Are you kidding me ! People do this throughout their whole life entire life. They don't even get a chance to live, travel or see all the beautiful things the world has to offer. I realize now that if I don't grind it out and because a success here, I will be stuck in this same lifestyle. Getting a corporate job has been the greatest motivation of all time. I just started recently and I already cant stand it. However I am staying. This job forces me to grind hard to find a way out of it through creating my own company.
Success will equal corporate job freedom.
Fixing my problem
I need to learn how to focus. But before I learn how to focus I need to learn what I should even be focusing on. eCommerce ? Brick and mortar? Financial services company? Real estate? I'm truly lost. I have learned so many life changing things from this forum and im thankful for the growth but I still have no real path.
eCommerce sounds like a good start-up for someone inexperienced like myself. But after hearing the failure rates Idk if its the right choice. Can eCommerce be a fast-lane path ? Also any other clarification or guidance would be awesome.
Skills- I am great at sales, I have experience in marketing/ automotive/ banking/ telemarketing ( The creator of this telemarketing company is now worth 40 million ) But anyway... I am really lost
Downside- I am not organized, small profit margins make me lose interest quickly. And I have no code/website/ seo skills.
I just need some kind of direction to focus my efforts. I am all over the board and I am getting absolutely nowhere as many here know.
