Hello All!

First my intro: 25, Software Engineer in Florida, USA. I've dabbled with entrepreneurship since I was 15 - first go at it was trying to start a flyer distribution business. Most recent attempt was selling phone cases. Many things in between. None of which I'd considered good businesses but I do consider good learning lessons. I graduated college a few years back with a degree in Business Admin/Marketing. Did sales for a year then followed my passion into a software position where I am working now.

Now that I've been in the career workforce 3 years or so and actually have ample finances (even after saving at a high rate) the concept of 'golden handcuffs' has become clearer. This has ignited my passion to get going again.


One Year Plan:
  • I am going to start a successful an Amazon Reselling/Shopify business.
  • I am going to launch a multiplayer video game.
  • I am going to purchase a house to serve as rental property.

Optional: If I have time between those three things I will dabble with an seo site. I would use a concept someone brought to my attention renting out high ranking pages to businesses.



First Step Progress:

Reselling Business: Ordered 3 samples from Alibaba ($20). Have custom packaging samples being sent to me ($0). Next: Look for more samples, being branding process by coming up with a name that targets my market.
Video Game: Making progress, I have the core of the engine up now. So far I can move my little character on the screen by clicking the mouse and he is animated. Initial map generation up and the first portion of server -> client communication up so I am now displaying current players on the server to the player.
Rental Property: Began very preliminary research into my local market.


I will target bi-weekly updates here.
