Hey everyone,
Currently, I’m 23, in full cycle enterprise tech sales, enjoying the job and also stashing away some capital for my eventual jump into entrepreneurship. I enjoy the sales gig, but my goal is to work for myself. The concept of facing challenges head-on, having the freedom to call the shots, and steering my destiny is what I really want to achieve, and I’m willing to slug through the downsides.
I’ve got some knowledge and skills in tech, AI, sales, fitness, and MMA among other things. However, I’m kind of at a crossroads. There’s a buffet of business ideas out there, but zeroing in on that one venture that resonates with me is proving to be a task I’m probably making more complicated than needed.
So I’m reaching out to the community here:
- Any recommendations on books, courses, or other resources that could help cultivate my entrepreneurial mindset and knowledge as I keep saving up?
- What’s a solid amount of savings to aim for before launching into the entrepreneurial waters? I understand it varies, but a ballpark figure would be helpful.
- And here’s the biggie - how did you guys nail down what business venture was the right fit for you? Any tips or exercises to help sift through the noise and find that golden idea?
I’m all ears and super appreciative of any insights you guys have to share. Thanks a ton in advance!
Cheers
As an entrepreneur myself working in ecommerce for 4 years, I advice you to read a lot. During your free time, before you go to bed, every opportunity you see, read. It helped me a lot as a young entrepreneur, though I still believe that experience is the best teacher. I found an article and I highly recommend to give it a read. It’s very helpful. https://www.cuppa.so/post/turning-your-big-idea-into-a-reality
