Starting my own business

[TruthFreedom]

I really want to start my own business. I have a goal, which I won't say right now, but it came to me in a dream around 7 years ago. I want to pursue this purpose, which involves helping people, and helping people is the main objective, not money. But obviously, money would be a nice reward. 

I have loads of experience in the field of business I want to enter. i don't have qualifications though.

How can I turn my experience and skills into a viable business endeavour? I am 38 and have minimal experience in the business world. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding where I can get started? Thanks.

The names of Alex Hormozi and Jesse Elder come to mind. They have good stuff.

If you have experience just go fucking do it. If by qualifications you mean a business degree - you don't need one. Throw that idea out.

Just go make money. Solve someone's problem and get paid for it. There you go, three years of business school done.

You can figure out how to set up a company and the appropriate bank accounts in a weekend with a laptop and google.

If you fuck up somewhere, you can fix it.

Nobody was born a businessperson. They just decided to go figure it out.

Been trying for almost a year. We should start a group to reinforce each other.

Currently we are trying contract brokering, also setting up a club night, and if we have any spare capital, a bin cleaning service.  Last year I tried a CnC business but I had to move out from where i'd located it.

Casually learn business law, and accounting. A lot of videos on YouTube, tons of books available.

@TruthFreedom For marketing, I'd study Alex Hormozi's books like the bible.

If you have no prior experience with helping people in your field, you're probably not going to be that great initially. In other words, poor client results. That's normal. If that's the case, you may want to start by working with people at a lower price, even for free initially in exchange for reviews. This will give you a ton of experience (worth much more than the money you'd have charged at this point), plus if you don't deliver the best results --which is likely in the beginning-- no one's going to be mad, and you'll be able to sleep nicely, knowing that at least you haven't charged much for sub-par results.

As you get skilled on all fronts you can start to charge what feels appropriate to you.

Anyway, Hormozi Hormozi Hormozi, books! and YouTube.
