Horton & Gekko is there a way I may reach guys via email as I need to discuss something with both of you fellas. Thanks again.
Now that we have selflessly assisted you in making in making that important life decision. Can you also selflessly share with us where you got 20million from. We would love to be neighbours.
12 years of import business(mostly consumer electronic and clothing). These two businesses albeit being cyclical had put me through graduate school, 2 levels of cfa and a property in abroad.
Advise:
* Develop a thick skin and ride through the tough times. A personal recommendation of mine would be to have as a starter a cushioning employment paying minimal 100k as you navigate and learn more about the sector you ventured into.
* Listen to your inner voice. A hard lesson which took me a long time to learn is to listen to your gut voice after doing your own research as many at times I listened to what others(competitors, useless analyst had predicted about the trend) and failed miserably.
*Art of saving. I cannot stress this enough and according to me will largely determine your eventual reach and how fast you get there. Example for those of you who have been to Dubai, UAE, can you survive on a AED40/day budget there which includes, boarding, food, transport? Do tell?
4 years of export business. I cannot go further into this as it is still my bread and butter.
Good luck to fellow entrepreneurs and under dogs. Cheers
