Question
I’m 25 years old.
I sold my business (e-commerce) last year that generated 7 figures in it's first year of trade.
Now i'm in a pickle - this year I ran two ecommerce stores and the products on both stores were too expensive to sell. I then stopped (failed) and thought, I could go find a job to learn under a property developer as I want to do big projects eventually. My passion is not in ecommerce, but property development.
Do you think it is worth working for someone to learn? I was offered a job working in development and reporting to the director/founder of a company. In 2016 he had 3.5 billion dollars worth projects in construction.
Or is it best to just go out and run your own businesses? To make money to fund your own projects?
Working at a company could open financial backing gateways. But also doing my own projects may.
What would you do?
Answer
Is this a field you want to learn in?
If so, it's a good opportunity to learn how deals are made...provided your personalities are a fit.
Compared to climbing the greasy pole of jobs, this could easily save you 10 - 15 years.
It's a lot easier to make things happen once you see the idea in action. Figuring things out on your own takes trial and error, and pain. This could be a good shortcut.
