Hello everyone,

I have been running an eBay store for the last 3 months and made around $200-300 a week. But up until last night, eBay & PayPal decided to ban both of my accounts after finding out I was only 17. MJ highlighted how it is dangerous not having control of your business in his book, which oddly enough I finished reading several hours beforehand!

I am now confused on how I can continue on without PayPal/eBay - I have a little notebook with just over 20 ideas, which range from selling on market stalls to creating a mobile app. I have researched heavily on each idea and the majority meet the Fastlanes Five Commandments.

Can someone give me some advice on how I can take the next step, as I don't know where to start now that I am out of business.

I dropped out of highschool when I was 16 because I failed miserably, but since then I have been determined to run a business!

Hopefully someone can give some helpful advice


Thanks
