Hello Fastlane forum, I think it's about time I introduced myself, I have been a bit of a lurker for around six months now. I am 23 currently living just out side of London. I have always aspired to own a business, working for someone else has never seemed to make sense to me. I have always been surrounded by normal people with normal jobs, it made me think owning a business would be near impossible. That was until I found the book and this forum.
Since becoming a member of the forum I can't believe how much my mindset has changed and how much I have learnt. I'm currently working a snowlane job which I am starting to hate more and more, as MJ said it's like a fire burning under my a$$ getting hotter and hotter until I can't take it any more. People around me seem to be happy slaving away for someone else, waiting to get the promotion to become a puppet for the manager above for the extra 5k a year.
From reading through the forum I feel like I have been surrounding myself with like minded people, it has given me so much motivation. I decided my first attempt will be to start a Ecommerce brand, so I read through every thread I could find related to it. I figured out that I needed to find a niche that was the opposite of what everyone else was looking for, something a bit different that did not sell mega amounts, I would be happy if one product would sell 5 a day. Also the niche needed to have at least 10 different types of product, soo if I had 10 products selling 5 a day I would be happy. A lot easier said than done haha.
I have currently just found a niche that I think has a lot of potential, this took months of searching, trying to get the right mind set. I have decided on a first product which I am designing at the moment, I also a few other product ideas to design after this. Once I am happy with the design I will be contacting suppliers both here and in China to compare prices. This is my first time doing anything like this so I will be learning as I go, and I'm sure I will make some mistakes along the way.
Thanks a lot to everyone on the forum, look forward to being here learning from others and adding value where I can.
