Can someone teach me the business?

[Ricky Lee]

Hello forum!

I was reading a bit of the posts here and after seeing how friendly and knowledgable everyone was I had to sign up. I'm looking forward to talking with everyone on here, learning and make new friends.

So here's my story and why I'm posting this up: I'm 21, my name is Rick. When I was 17 I was diagnosed with a rare muscle disease that left me bed ridden and in non-stop pain for 2 years. Eventually I got healed (thank God). However I missed out on a lot, I never learned how to make money and I'm unable to provide for my family. All I have is 700$ to my name but I'm not giving up I know I'm a business man and I can turn this all around.

So that's why I'm asking help: I found out about this business and seen you don't need schooling, a license or anything to get started and you can do it with little money and make thousands per deal. [b]So if there's anyone that can mentor me or explain to me how I can get my first deal started I'd appreciate it and would be happy to send you a percentage of my earnings just to show you how grateful I am to you.

I'm talking about wholesaling the way this guy does it, (this is where I seem it from): www.Junkers101.com

If there's anyone out that that can help me I'd appreciate it so much! Thank you.

Ricky,

I appreciate reading your story. I like that you ask questions before you leap, I think you will be alright no matter what you do.
Couple questions and thoughts.
1) Are you really in Beverly Hills? If so maybe get the heck outa dodge for someplace more affordable.
2) You mentioned a muscle disease. How are you doing? Is your health good now. Gotta keep your health the number one priority.
3) Do you have a family currently or are you speaking figuratively?

Couple things that you can consider immediately, to make a bit more than minimum wage without a degree. Although I strongly encourage you to finish your GED and move on to a community college.
1) Certified Pharmacy tech. All the big pharmacy offer in house training, no need to sign up for $4-10k certificate programs. At Walgreens if you work for them for 12 months, they give you in house training and get you certified. I live on the complete opposite coast, but around here it starts around $12 an hour and goes to about $14 certified. It kinda caps out around there, but it's a good gig while you finish up school.
2) Delivering Pizza. You can make really good money working limited hours. Bad part is it is nights and week-ends. But you can make 25k a year working 20 hours a week. And you have cash in your pocket each shift.
3) Home Depot/Lowes... That's how I worked through my associates degree. It's a little more than minimum wage. The page has more of a range to it. I knew a few guys making $20 an hour, but most of us peons were under $15. You learn a lot working there though. When stuff gets discounted you get first dibs. And you meet a lot of people who know how to do plumbing/electrical/etc. I carpeted my first house for $50 and a case of beer.

Those are just some thoughts, hoping to get you thinking about some first steps to get some income rolling in. Those are not long term goals. I hope that helps
