Hello, fellow entrepreneurs here goes my introduction. First and foremost im thankful for stumbling across this forum that's blessed me with so much knowledge and wisdom Thank you MJ and all you guys that have contributed.
I feel bad that I can't contribute as much knowledge as you guys but hopefully I can change that one day when I start executing my progressive thread of achieving Fastlane success! My story im 30 years old from Detroit, Michigan born and raised in what would be considered to many in poverty ghetto neighborhood surrounded by criminals and slowlaners.
After reading TMF and tons of post here in the forum I've noticed how drug dealing or being a drug dealer is pretty much the same principles of running a business and being an entrepreneur minus the negative or shitty cause and effects of drug dealing (going to prison which i did a year behind bars i know a bad example of commandment of time and getting robbed you know product inventory loss. But the two fields are quite similar let me give you some example it fits all the commandments of need, entry, control, scale, and time. Product sourcing, suppliers, distributors, marketing, accounting, branding, customers are some factors on how the two is similar I believe MJ mentioned this briefly in Unscripted (currently reading).
Growing up in the inner city you see no hope but poverty and surrounded by slowlaners who never think about living the unscripted life. Until this event happens remember MJ Lambo moment while getting donuts and MJ thinks it must be a retired old person or some type of inheritance money. Nope the answer in the inner city meet your local dealer no alarm clock, no 40 hour work week, living life like the 65 year old retiree at the age of 22. He's an entrepreneur that runs a business like you but didn't file a LLC. The downside so many fall victim to this way of entrepreneurship which leads to either death or jail. Not knowing that they can live unscripted follow the same drug dealing principles and create a legit business or businesses my goal.
In the process of me becoming a Fastlane entrepreneur I want to document everything and set up a system. Where I will be able to teach other individuals who grew up in ghetto property neighborhoods. How to successfully run and start up a business by taking actions using the steps I created I want to show them there's other forms of making money and living unscripted besides drug dealing.
Plan: I want to document every action of starting a business from day 1. To the business actually up and running thru a podcast, similar how Alex Blumberg's Gimlet media podcast show "The Start up" check out season 1 great jewels in it for all entrepreneurs. With the podcast documenting how to start a business it will give great value and content which I hope I can get some sponsors that will be a stream of revenue and build a following where i could possibly start a seminar selling my steps. I have my target audience and my story if a guy who is consider a career criminal by the government can do it. Anybody can do it.
Side note: I had several FTE moments my first was being broke had to make money to live getting a job or dealing.
My second FTE working a warehouse jobs slaving busting my a$$ and making $7-$10 hr if you lucky you might get a job paying $12-$15 hr working 40hrs a week. When you literally shipped and receive over million dollars a week for that company. Being yelled at for other people mistakes, corns and calluses on hands and feet for standing all day or heavy lifting back hurting. Being told when and when not to use the bathroom you know trading 5 for 2. Wondering why Mr. A gets paid $5 more he's lazy as hell and you guys both do the same job. To receive the same pay couple hours of Fastlane dealing.
My third FTE being consider a career criminal or "three strikes" a habitual offender. Meaning if a person continues to get caught by the law doing the same crime the minimum prison sentence is 20 years. No brainer why this is a FTE.
The problem as stated i want to document me starting a business from start to finish im not sure which direction i want to start at but all ideas seem very doable to me. I also want to help other around me by offering them a job from the businesses I create. I have the mindset that I want to build a business scale it to a passive income then move on to the next.
-Cleaning service: residential or commercial cleaning.
-Mobile Vechical Detail service: mobile car wash.
-Window washing business: stores, malls, gas stations etc.
-Gardening and Lawn service.
-E-comm, retail arbitrage.
-Podcast Company
-Apps: i have two I want to create
-T- shirt/clothing line: which is dealing with social awarness.
-Cookies: yes i make from scratch from a family recipe would love to get on a store self one day.
-Management/Social media company: For artist, musicians help with marketing, branding, booking.
I know I need to focus on my kinetic execution but I don't know which area to start or which area will produce revenue the fastest to help me I plan to learn skills in marketing, sales, copywriting, coding, drop shipping, Google AdWords to enhance my entrepreneurship. I also want to learn option trading and real estate as well. Im here to be a learner and contributer any advice or words of encouragement is appreciated. How may I service you? If i can I will, im willing to work for knowledge and wisdom.
Sorry for the long post but I needed to get this out my system. To me this is the first step in my new direction in life. Its something that I've always wanted to do but having no one I could relate to or understand me kept me in the dark and silent for years. Where being a legitimate business man seem far fetched. Where haters and slowlaners never even dream of this freedom. If anybody wants to talk, build or trade information im available.
Thank you all!
