What's the greatest lesson you have learned in your entrepreneural journey? How did it shape you as a person?

guys there are a lot of big community's with lots of of entrepreneurs, but lets be homiest they don't really feel like a real brother hood community. Its just full of random people using the groups as free advertisements. I feel if we keep this group alive, share real value and grow together it can be really useful, try to post things every day, updates progresses, problems, everything. I believe this group has big potential, only if you yourself (whoever is reading) are dedicated to succeeding.

Hello everyone, thought I’d introduce myself with a post taken off my own LinkedIn as it sums up perfectly where I’m at. The harsh reality of brokering. This one’s probably not the usual post you see on here but it’s my experience so far. It all started around 3 years ago for myself, I was and still am working a normal 9-5 job while trying to get something off the ground working around that, I couldn’t and still can’t get any credit to help start anything due to getting myself into a mess when I was younger and not realising what a credit score could do and how important it is and even more frustratingly I can’t drive, I haven’t been able to afford the lessons for a large part, even then, getting an instructor and test has been borderline impossible since the whole covid debacle, I had one test and failed. So there I was wondering what I could possibly to get out the rat race that I despise so much, it never suited me as a ADD (ADHD without the hyperactive bit) and most likely a touch of autism for good measure, I’ve never gotten on with it but I’m trapped in it. The only option I could think of was brokering as it didn’t involve any upfront costs and obviously the pay outs appealed! I spent around a year and half focusing on mined materials, mainly copper, I got to know some brilliant people but like me they were just brokers too being passed from pillar to post from scammer to scammer on the endless persute of that multi million dollar pay out. I then moved on to cars, I still didn’t have any money so again it was the brokering angle, I love cars and I love helping people in whatever it is they’re doing, even now I work in customer services for a company that fixes cars for insurance companies for that reason so I really felt like this could be different and guess what — it wasn’t! Endless chains of brokers nobody knowing how far away they actually were from the main person, again I moved on, this is now really, but this time I’m going after the decision makers, the top of the chain and I’m finally meating some fantastic people who have the ability to make things happen.
