I’m 23 and working full time as a tech working on locks, doors, garage doors, gates etc. with 4 years of experience.

I want to have my own business and be fully supported by it by the age of 30. Hopefully less than that but that’s just a goal

I truly don’t want to get into a business in what I already do although I have knowledge of it already. I’m just not passionate about it. I am into hiking, wildlife conservation, and want to get into something more in that field.

Does anyone have any idea on where I can look into?

If I had the money I would love to design an app to help hikers, but my budget is between 10k-20K at the moment. Do I need to just wait and start somewhere small?

    Instead of building an app and competing against companies like All Trails it might be an idea to get your guide certification.

    You also need the highest levels of first aid and whatever other certification your local gov requires.

    A 10-20k runway is pretty good for guiding. Getting the certs will only put a small dent in that.

    You have almost zero overhead and can charge a premium provided you deliver on your promise.

    Not only that but you can pre sell with a website. “Booking for summer 2024, early bird special (25% off) if you book now.
