Hey, my name is Said,

I am a 17-year-old teenager from Germany, and I have the burning desire to create my own business. I read The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco like 1 week ago and this book really opened my eye. I don't want to go the same path everyone in our society is going. I want to create my own business, so I can become financially independent and rich.

But it seems like I don't actually move forward no matter what I do. I have got some business ideas, but the fact that I am not 18 yet is really annoying, because to start a business under 18 is a very complicated process here in Germany. So I think I just wait some months till I am 18, but that's time wasted, and my ideas are worth nothing without actually executing them. I got some side hustles like giving private tutoring and making social media content but for me, it does not seem to get me to my goal.
Like, I don't know how to actually start and execute my ideas. Is the fact that my age is the limiting factor on whether I start a business understandable?

Is there anyone who can relate to my situation? I would appreciate every information/tips/input from you guys! Thanks a lot!
