Hi OzBargain Community.

I'm now 18 years of old, an Adult. But I don't feel like one. I feel pathetic, I feel disgraceful, I feel like I wasted 18 years of my life doing nothing to be proud of. From a young age, being in a disruptive family, I had developed pretty severe anxiety which followed me throughout schooling. I was overweight and insecure, struggled mentally alot and was an introvert despite not wanting to be one. I cared too much about everything. I did seek professionals secretly but I have stopped ever since graduating, simply because I feel like its a big waste of money and I feel guilty considering how hard expensive it is.

I feel like I've found my purpose in Entrepreneurship. It's something I've always liked and been fascinated in. I started my first business when I was 16, it failed badly (lost 2-3k) and my mental did get pretty bad but I've been able to comeback. Entrepreneurship has also allowed me to not feel worthless, and feel like Im actually working towards something in my life. It has allowed me to somewhat get my life together, started to sleep more on time, workout more, and just study more, learning valuable information about life.

That's why I will be be fully committing to starting my own Ecommerce Store soon. I just have to do it. I will rather die doing this than pursue a boring degree I don't care about. I really hope it does well because I will put my all into it, but if it doesn't, oh well I'm still 18. Have some money from being spoiled but not much. Im putting all my money into this, I won't be asking my parents for any.

Is there any advice you would give?

I've found advice from strangers to funny enough be extremely useful especially with those relating to starting a business. I don't have anyone else to ask tbh.

PS - I'm really interested in Gym Apparel

      tbh getting your driver's license and degree will probably make life easier in future even if it's a drag on your time and focus at the moment

      are you aiming to do the ecom/dropshipping yourself or do you hope to sell courses on it? i note people who do the latter generally also flaunt a greater level of wealth on social media. i suspect their escape of the 'matrix' is not as legitimate (eg rented supercars, expensive airbnbs) as they make it seem.

        I really want to start my own ecom gym apparel business. No dropshipping or seling courses just pure building a brand. Yea alot of them are scammers and etc

        • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 15:06

          Im definitely gonna give my current idea a go. Because If I don't there will be alot of regrets later on, especially at a time where I can do whatever I want.

        • Gdsamp on 01/02/2024 - 15:09

          any reason you're still on L's? if you're wanting to start a business you probably need to demonstrate that you can see something through even if you don't particularly enjoy or want to do it for some future payoff
          if you aren't dropshipping, do you intend to carry orders to the post office?

            @Gdsamp: TBH I delayed getting it in my final year of HS. I get bad anxiety whenever I have to do a test. I overthought about it and basically lied to myself that it would take up my study time. So I only just got it late last year.

            Regarding Orders, I can take them to the post office myself or there are courier's who pickup from your place. Or I can ask my parents who are not really working right now.

          You need to figure out your social motives. Pursuing a degree isn't any less worthy than ecommerce, which I rate as mind-numbingly boring. Buying stuff and reselling to make money… works only if making money is what gets you going every morning.

            @sumyungguy: I really want money lol. The thought of making money is what gets me going. I wanna do smth that will make my life a successful one which is making a lot of money

            • sumyungguy on 01/02/2024 - 15:17

              @toratiger: Then reselling is definitely for you, because you don't just sell your time to the highest bidder. You can scale up and make lots of money if you find a lucrative niche.

        re degree
        it may feel like a waste of time but who knows how you'll go in your entrepreneurship.
        if you study just 2 units/semester it will take up little of your time and in 6 years you'll get graduate. if your business takes off you can always drop out.

        • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 15:13

          Yea. Thats what im planning right now. Im gonna just stay in uni until I get something going.

        • jakesiler on 05/02/2024 - 17:55

          How many subject(s) is 2 units/semester? What state are you in?

          In Sydney/NSW, 1 subject is 6 units of credit. So a full time semester is 4 subjects (4x6=24 units of credit).

          • follow on 05/02/2024 - 18:58

            @jakesiler: units is used the same way as how you used subjects.

      Be careful with meds. Lexapro can make you high with a bad come down. Also maybe very hard to get off and cause wdl in say.. 30% of cases. Also long term the effects can wear off so you need to increase or switch with more side effects. Not the easy pill they make it out to be. Better off suck it up and use the feelings to propel you to do something.. IMHO and ofc YMMV. I know people who did great with meds and I know people who wish they never started.

      Back in 2012 was when I first became aware of it.

      It was only $12 but there were no exchanges or anything. For the average layman it was a bit of a mystery on how to buy it. Tech types maybe, but not yer average joe.

    I just have to do it.

    I did a mini-pub-crawl last weekend with mate who's had some pretty rough dealings in family matters and his own health, dropped out of school in yr 11, had to re-learn how to walk again around 25, and more - now he's a deputy COO in the largest Australian company in its field. A few drinks and we got talking about things and he reflected on his own being a very ordinary person, no superstar talent at all, and having many setbacks, yet he's pretty happy with life right now. His take on why he's where he is now? When he had an opportunity he just took it, or in his own words: "I just kept showing up."

    Just show up. If it's that bad you can always decide to leave after showing up.

    • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 15:30

      Thanks a lot for this. So specifically, take every opportunity you get but I don't quite get what exactly showing up means. Does it just mean always being there and being focused on what you want to do?

      • afoveht on 01/02/2024 - 15:31

        If you really want something just try giving it a go.

        • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 15:32

          I see. Makes alot of sense I got it. I'll definitely give it a go

            @toratiger: You're going to be anxious about many things, we all are. Life requires facing problems, and you want to be lucid, not drugged. That way you learn and evolve. Competence creates confidence. One thing I did was get into martial arts. I had zero confidence, couldn't talk to women. At one point, something clicked. It doesn't require something like martial arts to acquire that mindset. I think it can be anything. KNOW that you're good at something. We are often too eager to beat ourselves up when we make mistakes and too hesitant to balance it out by acknowledging the good.
            If you find yourself denigrating yourself, stop and replace that thought with something positive.

    I am constantly look back and wish "I should have done that".

    1. Never ever give up study. Go to uni, if you have a chance. Since you are interested in entrepreneur, Maybe Business or Commerce?
    2. Travel more, do not wait until you are in a wheelchair to travel.
    3. Workout, go to gym, play sports, stay active and healthy.
    4. Spend times with your loved ones.
    5. Save monies, do not buy expensive phone or unnecessary liabilities.
    • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 15:34

      I won't give up studying for now until I have a stable business. I'll definitely travel more when I can. Yeah im following a consistent workout routine right now.
      I'm not close with my family lol, I'd like to believe its cause they were always working and we often barely saw each other. I do regret buying expensive stuff, but I've taken that as a lesson.

    • lilyesp on 04/02/2024 - 08:43

    Good on you for at least having this sense of maturity at 18. My advice for you will be a bit different from some of the others. I would say give a 200% effort to ensuring your own business is a success. Nothing beats that. No job. No uni. You are still young and have a lot of time, and very little to worry about if things don't go your way, as you have enough time left to restart your life.

    I'm saying that as a middle aged person with 2 kids and a house mortgage to look after. I constantly think I should have jumped into my business when I was young and had the chance. Now, it's a bit riskier for me due to the responsibilities.

    • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 15:59

      Wow, this was very heartwarming to hear. Thank you so much!
      Thats what im worried about. If I don't do this now, I will never be able to when i have kids and have bigger responsibilities. Its like If I don't do this now, I will never be able to.

      Im planning to give 200%. I somewhat feel confident but thats always until the selling/advertising phase.

    only thing I regret about myself is I wish I know more about career pathways earlier.

    more specifically

    I wish I know what skills to learn to secure a job (developer job) when I was still in Uni,

    so I could learn it much earlier and get into a professional role much more eariler… instead of wasting several years in retail then studied master and found out what I need to learn by luck (end up with a good thesis mentor who forced me to learn a lot of things) to secure my current job.

    I will rather die doing this than pursue a boring degree

    A degree is only one of the things you get from a university, Think of the other things you get: knowledge and skills, and if you’re lucky, one-on-one time with world-renowned experts in their fields. If I was 18 again, I’d do a double degree in science and IT or science and engineering. Or something similar.

    • toratiger on 01/02/2024 - 19:35

        A bit late, but what I was speaking about was people who on the surface and by their words seem to be your friend. But their actions show the only thing they are really interested in is how they can use you or others to get what they want. Sadly, there are some people who treat other as useful idiots, and it is very easy to be conned by their words.

    Avoid the cigs.

    You will over estimate what you can achieve in a month, and underestimate what you will achieve in a year.
    Shoot for small achievable goals, and make sure to celebrate them! Small incremental improvements are like compounding interest.
    Read/listen to podcasts/audiobooks, make notes. Journal. You have so much at your fingertips in this day of age.
    PS: everyone else is making it all up as they go too. Everybody has their own unique challenges and adversity. They're tests in life to enable us to grow.
    Recommended books to start off with: Tiny Habits, Atomic Habits, Obstacle is the way

    Run a business, don't be a PAYG worker.

    Nothing beats passion or hard work (focused on the right things that matter)

    Be a nice person - lifetime to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it

    Pick 'swim lanes' that have the greatest opportunity. You make more money in tennis than badminton.

    Sometimes it's ok to keep options open. But options never have value unless you exercise (ie use) them.

    Don't worry about what other people think / say about you. That's really hard. But it's the people "in the arena" (doing the hard work) that have the best lives.

    Buy property. No matter how small. As long as it is liveable and within spitting distance of civilisation.

    Don't wait for prices to come down or things to be more affordable - in the medium to long run it never gets better. Only worse. Get flatmates in, be frugal for a whole. Do anything - property will always go up, your pay (normally) will go up.

    There's no time like the present. Time in the market. etc etc etc

  • try2bhelpful on 02/02/2024 - 11:39

    The reality is most small businesses fail. If you truly want to get into something that is entrepreneurial you will need to know if there is a market and understand about all the financial and legal obligations. You need to understand the cycles of business and have a cash float to fall back on. Running your own business will be stressful.

    Perhaps look at the degree path, maybe Commerce, and look into running something small as a sideline. See if you can get connections and mentors as part of the degree to get advice on the best way to approach setting up a business. The degree gives you an alternate career path if you decide to dial back on the e-commerce. Try to create a sound financial base for yourself. Maybe work for another company for a few years and run your business on the side. Talk to professionals about what you are trying to achieve.

    I’m now 63 and very comfortably retired. I got two degrees and spent my working life, mainly, in IT. If I was talking to my 18 year old self I would say “shit happens and you dig your way out”. That most people feel they are faking it and are insecure about their worth. Unless they are complete sociopaths and they are toxic and should be avoided. That dreams are a good driver but they need to be tempered with reality.

    Best of luck.

    • toratiger on 03/02/2024 - 16:50

      This is true. Most small businesses will fail. To be honest the project im working on, I don't expect it to do well. But atleast I want to see what I can currently achieve, maybe see some potential and decide if this is what I want to do. Failing is extremley normal and I just want to see where I go with this then plan my life onwards.

      Regarding degree, Ill continue to study in uni incase all goes wrong.
      Thanks!

    What Advice Would You Give Yourself if You Were 18 Again

    Study several foreign languages to be 100% fluent and confident with them (not just mumble words).
    Spanish, Chinese and Arabic will be my advice to that young me.
    Spanish will prove to be a LOT of fun. The financial future seems to point to the other two.
    And, of course, English will be there too.

    Language proficiency opens your brain to further knowledge and understating, essential for world wide commerce.
    And learning at 18 (or even better 16!) is hell easier.

    Also exercise and build body mass in a NATURAL and healthy way. No drugs no artificial crap.
    Just natural body building for health and future-proof the only body you'll have for the next 70? 80? years.

    Be confident. Ignore negativity. Be individual.

    Carry on with all your dreams, young me. They will inexorably become real.

      Yea I agree. I'll look at languages later on as its not what im currently passionate about. I agree with exercising and no drug use. I will carry on with my dreams, its moreso, to let my actions will decide whether I will achieve those dreams.

    Take nobody's advice. Seriously live your own way you like.

    • toratiger on 03/02/2024 - 11:45

      This is true but sometimes, people's advice and getting reality checked is what you need.
      Thanks!

    I have to say i'd tell myself_
    1, Get to know your parents before they are gone, because i have so many questions now.
    2, Study in school/Uni, it'll make the years after easier.
    3, Save and buy a house ASAP before the bills start coming in.
    4, Don't Smoke or any other unhealthy habit.
    5, Enjoy the simple things in life, and stop and look around every once in a while.

    • toratiger on 03/02/2024 - 16:48

      I agree with everything you say. Thanks

    1.) Life is full of adventure +++ opportunities.
    2.) Be greatful for family + friends that are in your life.
    3.) Life is sooo short (I know - a cliche) - but holds true.
    4.) Have kids + travel … If get chance.

    5.) We all will die at some point … Something that as you get older - we ALL deal with (family or our own mortality).

    • toratiger on 03/02/2024 - 16:48

      Life is short. Im only 18 and I feel like I don't have much time left lmao. I feel like I have to do something fast before im old and fat.

    don't sell the bitcoin, that 30K you're about to make and use to smoke weed and make a race car is not worth it. hold for another 5 years and retire

    Never buy an apartment in a high density building. Body corporate is shit. To be specific, caretaker, letting agent, body corporate manager, and committee is shit.

    The advice that I was given in my early 20s was to choose what would make me happy and stick with it. Did I want it to be my job (climb corporate chain or pursue my own business), relationship (starting a family), or hobbies.
    I chose hobbies as I felt it was something I have more control over. I'm still doing well in the other ones but if I don't get a promotion or go through a breakup it doesn't affect me as badly because I know that I have happiness from my hobbies.

    Financial advice for my 18 year old self would be to do what I did. Didn't travel and I drove cheap cars until after I bought my first run down house at 25, spend a year fixing it up each night after work (so my weekends were free) then spent 2 years taking all my accumulated leave to travel. Some of this was with friends and some of it was solo. Got exposed to lots of new cultures and people. Travelling solo built up my independence and confidence in knowing that I could problem solve for myself without relying on others.

    If you want to contribute then community service is also great for wellbeing, I've been an active SES volunteer since year 12 and still doing it. Great group of people and you can choose how much you want to be involved.

    If you want something else to do then try and get a spot in RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards). Great week away learning and meeting new people, this really helped me gain more confidence.

      Sounds like a great life you had. Sounds like a balanced and active life. Volunteering is something I'll look to in the future if I ever get the chance.

      • Hangryuman on 05/02/2024 - 13:22

        I agree with Alexxx - bust a gut while you've got the fire in the belly - despite not being close to your family, it sounds like you're inherited their work-hard habits.

        Then travel after a couple of years to broaden your horizons, and maybe even claim it on tax as a work-related research trip to suppliers ;-)

        just avoid dubious products like vapes - a guy I know is into that and I don't see that ending well - in the world of business there will be plenty of easy-money offerings that end up being criminal - don't go there - time in jail is not a recommended happy place.

        just remember to have balance - at the end of life, no one on their deathbed ever said they wished they'd spent more time at the office - it's always about time they wished they'd spent with loved ones - so remember that - friends will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no friends.

    Boy or girl? If boy, I would go earn some money, then chase after the girls and having the time of your life. Life as a middle age family man is boring as fak.

    Don't waste your time sitting down feeling pathetic or sad mate. You're in your prime. Go party.

    Girl, I have no idea. I'm not one.

      I agree. Chasing girls? I'll wait for that to come naturally. Chasing never ends well. Yea I agreed with feeling pathetic and sad, its not helpful at all.

    • ihbh on 03/02/2024 - 18:53

      chase after the girls and having the time of your life

      That it's a numbers game and that you will meet some nutty girls (some of whom will think that you're a nut), so just move on, but be prepared to settle down with your future wife.

      Life as a middle age family man is boring as fak

      Not if you have a hot wife and you are all fit and active and have hobbies and enjoy participating in your kids' growth.
