A Whole new world

[eastwick]

Whats up guys, I haven't been here in quite some time.
I've pretty much failed continuously at every attempt to become an entrepreneur.
But the alternative is to stay at my job or another job until I retire and not that there is anything wrong with that, but the thought of it keeps me up every night and I cant sleep.
So my only option is to keep on trying.

I tried this many years ago, had some small success with CPA, followed by rapid failure, I was forced to get a job working 6 days a week and it really limited the time I could dedicate to this.

Later one I got into day trading, stocks, options, commodities, then forex.
I was actually pretty good on the technical side, but my emotions would get the best of me I'd make bad trades, break my rules and lose money.
After 5 years of on and off winning and losing, and losings 10's of thousands of dollars I decided to quit.

I tried dropshipping , failed.

Poker, failed.


I had a dream last night and woke up early this morning, it lead me here again.
So here I am.

So much has changed these past few years , Im not sure really how to navigate through the information.

Any Suggestions on where I should be spending my time would be truly appreciated.
Is CPA still a viable way to make money or is it saturated?
If so, what are some CPA companies I should look into and open accounts with?

What are some newer more actualized ways to make money?

I know that may sound vague, all im asking is for direction, so I can sort of sharpen my sight ans look in the right places.

I'm dedicated and a hard working, I have dreams and aspirations and I will work endlessly to realize those dreams. If there is anyone that would be interested in taking me under there wing to do work with them as I learn myself I would be eternally grateful.

I failed so many times just keep on rallying, take a break to regroup, recover, learn, and try again.
Just bc dropshipping failed doesn't mean you wont get it to work, maybe pick one of your failures and study/learn try again. There are so many ways to market surely you havent exhausted them all in dropshipping.

Why won't you start a real, "proper" as some would say, business? Everything you mentioned here can be categorized as gambling of some sort.

I second this.

Poker, short term stock trading, drop shipping.

None of them really offer any value to anyone.

I'm absolutely sure you have a passion where you can offer value that can be monitised

You know what, as I was typing this I said to myself "this all sounds like gambling"
now that you said it I guess it confirms it.

I've been working since I was 14, and have always been at the "top of my class" if you will amongst my co workers.
But I have always tried different ways of making, I don't want to see easy money, but rather different sources of income that don't require me to work for someone.

I appreciate your feedback, maybe its easier for others but finding that IDEA is what I seem to have a struggle with.
What to sell?
What service to provide?
Im useful at helping others discover there strengths and offer guidance by way of counselling , but who wants advice from someone whos not achieving their own goals

Keep trying man. But try different types, not just these who seem more like gambling.

Also, change your approach. Spend some time to make your action plan better.

Start slow and see what brings you most result and go all in there.

Keep pushing through the failures taking whatever lessons you can (normally a lot). Everyone fails at some point.

Maybe looking into social media? Pretty much pick a social platform and learn absolutely everything you can about it, explore as many different methods as you can find here, become a real expert in how to generate traffic and sales from that platform.. then either sell services relating to that, run an agency, create content sites and use the social platform to fire them up, or a combination of all 3.

Start a simpler business. Offline preferably. It's difficult to win when you compete with 1000s of CPA marketers or dropshippers online, but it's easier to win in an offline business within 3km of where you live. You can always apply your internet marketing skills to your offline business.

Could be anything that sounds workable to you - a painting contract business, repair shop, snack shop, selling imported chocolates - anything. If you don't have enough startup cash, borrow from family/friends as a loan. Don't underestimate the power of a tiny offline business.

Don't worry the zeal in your heart to do something different will get you there....its not aboiut CPA or Dropshipping...its about your mindset to get back when you are knocked down again and again
