Well, hello there dear Fastlaners.

I would like to apologize in advance since I am not a native English speaker.

So, who am I? I live in The Netherlands, I am 21 years old and after reading TMF last week or so I feel like I am the biggest loser alive. The burning desire to do something with my life started when I was around 18 years old. I started reading A LOT of books on personal development / business and watched a ton of YT vids. It helped me of course, but execution is key as Gary V says.

At age 19, I started a YouTube channel but failed pretty miserably. Last year I took a gap year and started a mediaproduction company, something that I enjoyed doing and made around 15-20k (had to share that with my partner). Learned a lot, the main takeaway was that I would NEVER EVER wanted a company like that one ever again. It violated pretty much all the CENTS.

And this is why I feel like the biggest loser, I feel COMPLETELY stuck in life. I am so f*cking motivated to start a massive business, I want to suffer massively to accomplish, work work work and work again to succeed at it and accomplish my dreams, for some reason however, I am in COMPLETE Analysis Paralysis. I just can't think of a good CENTS idea to start and honestly, it is driving me freaking nuts...

I am trying to uncover problems people have / I have in order to start with a business around that problem, but so far nothing has come up and I don't know what to do anymore.. Since it is unlikely that I will come up with a good enough business idea that is executable aswell and doesn't violate CENTS, I started looking at the more obvious businessplans.

I can design beautiful websites with wordpress. Thought about creating some templates and selling them to businesses for $999 dollar. Pretty limited in scale though.

Thought about opening an Ecommerce store, since my college starts in a month and I kinda have to go since I promised myself that if I didn't build something substantial / sustainable in the last year I would have to continue with college and so and therefore I won't be able to sell websites cuz college is obviosuly during office hours. But Ecommerce, I dunno, although I've read stories from massively successful fastlaners on this forum with webshops, I feel like I am just too late to start an Ecommerce store and need to solve a 'bigger' problem.

Though about creating a leadgen website like MJ's, but haven't came up with the right fragmented industry in which this is possible and my chances of succeeding are somewhat OK.

I just don't know what to do my dear fastlaners. Any advice is much appreciated... Maybe I am trying to hard, maybe I am a massive p*ssy. Either way, don't hold back and throw it straight in my face
