Spare a couple minutes to give feedback please

Hi, this is my first post on the forum which is full of teachings and support. MJ has established a great community.
I would appreciate any feedback on my post.

I've just read TMF . and have had trouble getting started. I've been brainstorming ideas and feel i'm too fixated on creating 'the' idea, and am obviously not experienced enough to 'reinvent the wheel.' With that i've come to a standstill and very much stuck on the idea stage. Ive been reading the 7 day start up by Dan Norris but again am stuck on the idea stage. I do not want to abandon the fast lane or just let it drift away through passivity on my part.

With that I thought it would be a good idea to do a small reselling scheme. I'm under the assumption that this would allow me to gain experience where I can experience the market from the seller side whilst learning how to sell, market, take photos, where to buy and resell goods from, manufacturing, tax law and ultimately practice execution. This should strengthen my ability to see gaps and oppurtunities in the market. My belief is this will let me 'learn on the job' whilst attempting this reselling project. By doing this I will be staying active and better prepare myself to create a business/brand more suited to CENTS.

I planned to resell hot water flasks as the cold months are approaching.

I'd greatly appreciate feedback on my post and assessment as to weather i'm on the right track of thought.

Thanks for reading.

You mention "idea" three times in this post, but don't really mention who you might help and what you might help them with. IMO... we do better when we go looking for people to help instead of looking for ideas.

MINDSET - Clarity of Purpose (Get Your Goal Right)

Clarity of Purpose When I hurt my back as a youth my parents took me to an Alexander technique practitioner. I don't even know what the Alexander technique is (or care really), but I walked away with a lesson I've remembered ever since. (One day (!) I'll record this as a video and post it in...

MARKETING - Just start already

It was just after midnight on 10-Nov-20 and I was annoyed with myself for not starting a particular project I'd been thinking about for a few weeks. I decided to quickly post a short note to my Facebook profile before hitting the hay. At the time I had 880 friends on Facebook and had been a...
