Hello,

I am a 24 year old guy who lives in Texas. I am currently living with my parents, but I know that I need to move to a different city to get the life experience and to make my own way in the world.

The last couple months I worked on a business that is gaining very little traction and need to get another source of income.

Currently licensed as an insurance agent, so I will more than likely get a job at an insurance firm.

I want to use this job as a way to meet my base needs, but also to build a nest egg for building businesses and creating value. When working, I know that I need to not get comfortable and work on my own designs in my off time.

Any advice for getting my situation set up in a way that will foster my entrepreneurial journey and not leave me in the dark?
