Big Change

[pascal1234]

Dear all,

My name is Pascal and I am 26. I have a BSc in Int. Management & Finance and a MSc in Strategy & Marketing. After my studies I worked a bit in consulting in the UK and moved to Asia to work for a PE firm. After that I had one mandate for a company to find suppliers in an Asian country. After that I moved back to my home country in the EU and worked on a project for a few months. Now this got terminated and I am at a point where I want to start my own business.

The main question is what to do exactly. I thought about social marketing and offering other services. I also thinking about importing some products and sell it to customers directly via a online shop. I worked in import/export, so I do have some knowledge there... I also like to travel and therefore the business should be operational from any place in the world (of course with certain limitations...)

But overall, I find it extremely difficult to know what I can or/and should do in terms of establish a business.

I hope your stories and maybe also comments/suggestions can help me to overcome this "decision-problem"...

Thanks already now for your inputs
