It is hard to start this post when not knowing what direction to take. I am a writing freelancer, an active income stream that produces up to 3K per month in exchange for a big chunk of my time.

One year ago, I was selling moon lamps on Amazon FBA, a terrible product that taught me the importance of product research. Now, you may think FBA is not the best Fastlane model, but it brings the freedom I need to focus on a real business later on.

Because I learned from many courses this year, I should keep on Amazon to take advantage of that knowledge. However, everything is moving too slowly. I only released one product on Amazon, I am probably doing something wrong, and I believe there are better models out there.

This post asks for advice: What would you do if you had to start all over again with $3000 in savings and a freelance job?
Of course, you don't have to answer that question. I am not the first guy asking for that.

I am 19, I read both TMF and Unscripted one year ago, been on FBA for almost a year, and worked as a freelancer for the last five months. At this progression rate, it will take me more than a few years to figure my way out.

My current trajectory is to launch at least three products more on FBA. If nothing works, I'd learn about digital marketing businesses in courses.

The biggest advantage? I have 24h of free time every day. If you have an execution strategy that works, share it with me. It is frustrating to be on the same spot for a year, and I am so tired that I will simply take action without putting any excuse in between.
