Some of you may know about me from my earlier intro, I'm a Freshman marketing student and my end goal is to become a successful entrepreneur. As a college student, you could say I'm starting from the bottom. Not that I was born into a poor family or that I have a small amount of entrepreneurial knowledge or experience. I'm starting from the bottom financially. I'm your typical college student, no money, do whatever I can to save money, tired of having no money. I have a little bit of money for living off of right now and a few hundred dollars in the bank, but that is being saved in case of emergency.

Now that you know my situation, I'll tell you my plan.

I have been reading up on importing and wholesaling from websites like dhgate and alibaba. My goal is to start an importing/wholesaling business without having to use any of the money set aside for emergency.

I'm sure you are wondering, "How on earth are you going to buy products without any money?" That is the first step of my plan. I am going to be liquidating all unnecessary assets in my possession, and "hustling" by selling products from thrift shops and other places. By the time most of my assets have been liquidated, I will have sufficient funds to start my wholesaling business. Current assets include:
Old ipods, tons of basketball/baseball/football cards, old computer from a thrift shop, couple of old laptops, various items I no longer use.

I will update this thread with my liquidation progress and the start of my wholesaling business, whenever that happens.
