Hi everyone,
A little bit of context on who I am
I am an 18 year old pursuing a bachelors business degree from a reputed university in India.(The top placement package was 8000 $/year lol). I have been driven towards entrepreneurship since I was 16. For an entire year I kept watching videos of youtubers having clickbait thumbnails of side hustles.
Then I read TMF . Even after reading it, I kept finding the right business idea or opportunity to start a business. This lead me to nowhere but another wasted year without execution.
I started a motivational page on Instagram @billionairebinge and managed to gather around 3000 followers and 1.16 million views by reposting random reels posted by other pages. I realized this isn't gonna work and stopped.
I also bought 3 different domains and tried starting a blog (quit because I couldn't find a reason why anyone would read it)
Then I did 2 internships in Digital marketing companies, but instead of learning something new I kept making social media posts through photoshop for different clients as directed by my superiors.
So for the current scenario, I am broke and devote around 7-8 hours/day to university classes, 5 days a week. I can't quit university as pursuing this course was my own decision and my parents won't be too happy to hear that I'm quitting lol.
Current scenario:
So today, I was going through various execution threads posted on this forum and saw the progress of many different individuals who were nearly in the same position as I am now.
Instead of finding a business idea and randomly working on it, I decided that I should learn Web development online (starting with the basics of python) and devote at least an year to it. I don't have any prior coding knowledge. I have a goal setup in my mind to build an SAAS product solving a big problem in the near future.
I will not quit again.
Please feel free to share your opinions and suggestions about this thread. I would be really glad to learn from you all.
