Mentor wanted

[Christoffer]

Hi!

My name is Christoffer and I'm soon to be 20 years old. I study business economics at a university and work part-time at an accounting bureau to learn more practical applications of the theory. I recently discovered and read thorugh Tim's book, and the feelings I allready had about 9-5 work (8-5 on this company) immedeatly grew stronger. I never want to end up doing something I don't enjoy for such a large part of my life. I think my life would be more enjoyable if I could live and experience the martial arts of the world, since I'm a Taekwon-Do instructor this has been my dream for quite some while.

As a student I do not have much money to put at stake though, but I still want to create a solid low-maintance business. Since it used to be my hobby I'm very skilled at web development and can save money that way. I have a resting business in this niche that I want to end. I haven't enjoyed creating websites for months.

The book is a little overwhelming since I'm an analyzing perfectionist and I would very much like a kind of mentor that can help my choose my niche and create a solid business. If you are interested in mentoring me, please send my a PM. Any other start up advice is very welcome in this thread :)

Thank you very much in advance!

y limit yourself to one mentor, share your concerns and questions here and you have a whole team of smart and good looking people to help you along your way

Damn, I was beginning to think I was the only good-looking one here :(

:D

Well, I figured I could use one main mentor who can help me get started. But I wouldn't limit myself to one person when I have deeper concerns about where to move next.

Will do :)

I'm also interested in skiing and snowboarding, I have been skiing since I was four and snowboarding since I was about 17. I love watching movies and have a geniune interest in training, stretching and nuitrition. I use to get compliments about my retorical skills and my ability to teach. I don't excersise it much, but the times I have tried I have had a nack for mental relaxation and visualisation. Advertising and it's psychology interests me a lot, but I have little actual experience of it.

Well, that's what I could think of for now. There should be more since I have had so many interests and the nature of reading up on every single one of them :rolleyes:

Thank you for your help.

Trying to find a mentor here is to easy. Did Tim get his mentors by posting a question on a forum? Do not ask for help to get started.

Just get started!

For all the practical questions there are loads of answers to be found here. Just start and Do It Yourself!

Good luck!
