Welcome to my rant. I would appreciate some constructive feedback, if you have the spare time and feel like it.
I read some stories here, from the Tim Ferriss blog, from Noah Kagan videos/posts -I was thinking of getting that $1000/month course, I'm glad I did my homework and found the post here that talks about it-... They all go like this: "I hated that my bananas were curved so I went ahead and sent a facebook message to some friends to see if they would buy a banana straightener. Two of them ordered one, so I set up a website and within the first 48 hours I got my first sale! I grabbed the first link I found in the banana straighteners manufacturers on Google search and ordered 50. Now I make 15k/month selling banana straighteners and I'm typing this from the Philippines, drinking a Mojito."
Ever since I've read the 4-hour, RichDad, the $100 Start Up, TMF , I've understood that you have to solve a problem, fill a need. Ideally, automate it so you can exit the equation or at least work remotely. That's what I've been trying to do ever since (around 3 years now). However are those the 1% cases in which everything just flows THAT smoothly? Like Noah Kagan did this thing in which he just grabbed someone random from his blog and literally built him a business from scratch in less than a week from like, gloves for climbers. "I'm like well, F*ck me, it has to be me obviously."
Making great money is something I aspire to eventually, but right now I would be happy with just getting off the slowlane and being able to go home to Argentina and see my family. I need it so much. Everyday that goes by I realize I need it even more. And it's like this puzzle in which everybody just comes up with something that works except for me.
I have my exchange students audience, they have the means to buy things, I'm trying to fill a need...
Is there something I should change/add to this approach that you see? This post doesn't mean I'm giving up. I'm not giving up. I just need to vent a bit and have nobody to do it with. My husband is Mr.Slowlane and you guys are the only ones that are ambitious like me.
Stay hungry stay foolish *Drops mic* lol
