Starting A Business

People keep recommending a book I've got called Personal MBA.

I would encourage you to innovate though. Think of the richest businesses and think about whether innovation has helped them get where they are.

I created a discord server with some other guys that more or less is about this general idea of startups and running a business.

Anyone else is welcome to drop by and have a look around as well.

I duno, it's a global pond now so big fish just get eaten by bigger fish. If you're a guppy...OP should start a business teaching people how to start a business maybe, be a guppy breeder.

Figure out what business you want to start and then go to work for one for a year. But don't just work there absorb EVERYTHING. What works, what doesn't, daily cash intake, figure out the overhead. Even better if you can work yourself into some sort of shift management position. Take pictures, notes or copies of anything and everything related to day to day and monthly cash flow and inventory. If you work at it you'll have a very good idea how much your overhead will be and how much you could clear. Good luck anon, we're all counting on you.

You're on the right track. Ideas are overrated. There's a bunch of people here saying "I've got 9 of them!". How many do you think own 9 businesses? Or even one.

Business is way fucking harder than an idea. My advice is to find a mentor once you know what business you're pursuing. Don't be a cunt, value their time, and they will help you immensely.

If you want to read something, start with anything that teaches you about marketing and understanding what drives customers. Positioning your business in the market is going to involve a lot of understanding of your customers, what value you bring them, and how to best communicate that.
