All the mistakes that I’ll make
An unhinged rant or two
My journey is just beginning! It is told through my eyes, an amateur entrepreneur. The idea is to allow subscribers to learn as I learn. To infect others with the entrepunerial bug. Inspire others to take the leap and go for it!
Authentic Entrepreneurship
I think that many of the online entrepreneurship “gurus” are practically useless at best, scammers at worst. The dropshippers, or the Facebook/Google ads agency personalities, dominate the online business world. They often exaggerate their wealth and lifestyle to sell their online courses. I want to combat these influencers with authentic content about building a traditional business. There are some successful business people online, but I think they also fall short of giving decent business advice. I often think that ultra-successful individuals forget what it was like. They forget their hesitations and their thoughts as they were beginning their business journey, therefore they give wish-washy tips and advice that doesn’t really help any new entrepreneur.
So join me on this learn as you go business adventure. Never miss a post and subscribe!
Who am I?
Hi!
I’m Zwigs.
I’m an entrepreneur.
Now, the key detail in the definition of entrepreneur is that it does not specify if you have to be a successful, to be considered one. I’m neither a failed or a successful entrepreneur, yet.
I had an idea. I quit my corporate sales job to peruse the entrepreneurship dream. I couldn’t help but go for it. As a young person, 23 years old, I’ve got nothing to lose. That’s where I am now, but let’s dive back into the past!
I have ventured into the entrepunerial world twice before with exactly:
1 failed “print on demand” t-shirt company aimed at Game of Thrones fans, like me
1 failed NFT Pet Rocks project, still available… contact me if interested
While these ventures didn’t exactly go as planned, they opened my eyes to how fulfilling working on my own projects can be! “Time flys when you’re having fun”. That phrase NEVER applied to anything school or work. Getting this feeling while working on these projects changed my life. The feeling of actually enjoying my work strengthened the entrepreneurial bug that was already inside me.
I think I’ve always had the entrepreneurial bug although I wasn’t always aware of it. In my second grade journal I invented the “homework machine”. My classmates could buy the answers to their homework after my machine had solved the problems. I priced my services very cheaply, only 1¢ for math homework and 25¢ spelling homework, which would make a lot of sense if I showed you the spelling in the rest of my journal.
In sixth grade, I started selling candy out of my pencil case. You’d be surprised how much an eleven-year-old will pay for skittles. I wasn’t always into entrepreneurship of course. I thought about being a physical therapist, veterinarian or financial advisor. My first career aspiration was actually to be an Olympic swimmer!
While being an Olympic swimmer didn’t work out, competing in the sport lead me to my undergraduate college, West Chester University. I swam on the university’s team while I got my degree in Business Management with minors in Entrepunerial and Philosophy. After graduating, I picked up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai to continue my athletic career.
That’s pretty much me :)
I love business and fitness. I’ve swallowed the American Entrepreneurship Dream hook line and sinker. I’ve very little knowledge of what to do or what to expect, but I know I’ll make it. Subscribe for updates, tips, and maybe even a little entertainment!
