Yeah, right. Christian Dior and Guccio Gucci were so feminine. They were definitely not entrepreneurial masterminds who built businesses now worth billions. I can only imagine how much they regretted not founding testosterone-led businesses...Hi, so I read a book called The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida and I don't know whether skincare is something I would go into. Of course, you shouldn't follow your passions unless you can find a way to monetize them, but there are niches connected to your passions where there's probably a need. It's not as big of a need as an area completely contrary to your passion, but there could be scalability there. Skincare to me seems boring, feminine and vain. This isn't something I can feel proud of in the long term, I'd rather focus on content creation, or learning a trade. A business that requires creativity and dominance. I can see myself getting trapped inside a skincare business, like Sarah from The E-Myth. Unless I'm behind the scenes running HR/content creation systems, there's no way that this business will thrive. I'm struggling to even muster up the motivation to begin making products. Catering to men's health won't make that much difference either because I know why men should care about their skin, but why should I care? This is supposed to be a non-estrogenic, purpose-led esoteric business and I'd rather pass opportunities like this up to other people. I'd rather be the one who's inspiring these businesses and not the one who's creating them, to be the entrepreneurship mastermind and not just a guy who plays about with perfumes all day. I feel embarrassed and that's why I procrastinated on updating this thread.
"Loweryourego"... Have you checked your testosterone levels? Seems like you're struggling with how you emotionally perceive things. Possibly, your estrogen levels are slightly elevated too?
On a more serious note, your decision has nothing to do with the specific business. There are many wildly successful fashion, skincare, and perfume brands founded by men. Sure, those industries may not align with your values and vision, but there's nothing feminine when you think about every part of the process that's involved in building a "feminine" business. There are plenty of masculine tasks like actually manufacturing the products, working out the logistics, consistently achieving financial growth, etc. You hire people for the tasks you can't/don't want to do.
