I know you guys are going to blast me for this but this is a company that anyone can start with a little bit of investment that can get you some money so therefore you can create a better idea and create your millionaire fast lane. YES, I LISTENED TO BOTH BOOKS TWICE but I feel that this would be a good start to something HUGE later in life. It won't make me millions but it will make me thousands. so with that said this is the business idea and plan I came up with. Thanks for the help in advance.
I would also love to connect with some people that do something like this or that would like to mentor me. thanks
