I have no business or sales experience so this should be interesting. The only way to gain experience is to do it. So here I go.

This first post will serve as a mile marker for where I'm at now and what I've decided to start. This thread will allow me to look back and review what I was thinking/doing at a particular time during this adventure. I will post updates on a weekly basis with actions that I have taken. No talk of what I'm going to do past this post.

I read through hundreds of threads and was able to narrow down the direction I want to take. I've decided to start in e-commerce. From the various threads I read, it seems that starting on Amazon to get the ball rolling is still considered to be the preferred choice. Then start your own website and work on getting traffic directed to it.

I thought about where I want to be in 5 years and then wrote a plan working back from that point. I know plans change, but it gives me a road map to begin on. I read several times that the path people started out on is not the path they ended up on. But they wouldn't have found the path if they had never started.

At first I will be taking from this forum more than I am able to give. Once I start learning and gain experience, I hope to be able to offer value to other members.

I also hope to look back and think: "Could you have been that dumb?". "Did you really think that was going to work that way?". "Wow! That was a horrible decision!". "You missed that opportunity?". If I look back and ask those type of questions that will mean I have really made progress in my life/business knowledge.

The main thing that I want to be able to look back and say is "I'm proud of you!"
