Go find someone who already owns a gym and has a nutrition store. Start helping them and learning from them. Then branch off on your own.

That'll be $19.95 please.

I already work for my brother. He dropships all of my orders, he sells his stuff to me at wholsesale and I resell it at retail. So i owe him money when I sell his items but I pocket some as well.

Will you ever be able to kick your income up to all new levels if you are always under your bro?

my thoughts:
extend your plan for a decade, no way are you doing all that shit in 5 yrs.
not sure if you have any college credits, but honestly judging from posts/style
getting a BS in 4 yrs may be tough (i'm just as dumb bro don't feel bad).
i'm thinking 5 maybe 6...look at the requirments, see all that math and chem?
if you aren't sciencey it's gonna be hard (but not impossible).
and the combo of school/staring a business i don't think is possible...gonna have to
be one then the other in succession.
just the degree alone is gonna be no easy task bro, understand that.
good luck man i hope you succed

I want to do something, I dont want to just be another statistic on earth (honey when it comes down to it, we're all just a statistic, being famous after you die doesn't do you any good). I want to do something in the health field (why not get a personal training cert and use that in the meantime while you figure out what you want) . Maybe not own a gym, (no you don't want to do this - as others pointed out, there's no margin in it) but I definetly want to expand my store (good yes, but expanding beyond apricot seeds with your own line of products - not reselling others). But I want more..

I want to meet my future wife on this site (alright sexy let's procreate - BTW if I'm making the money you're cleaning the house)

What is it that has caused you to think you're doing something wrong on the site and need to straighten up? It's C&C babe, live it up. I totally get that you've made a decision in your head, you have goals - and announcing them feels good, it helps you to kind of... have a control group for accountability. Have fun on EF. Learn from people when you can - even the debates we have on here are productive - helps keep you sharp

Glad, seriously, I agree with Iggs. Have a meatup with bake in LA, maybe he can hook you up with a job acting, only you just have to be yourself. You strike me as the "Stiffler" for a new generation.

exactly bro....
glad, my good friend is going to acting school in another country for a year. i'm making shorts and writing screenplays and helping out a few indie directors along with bartending on the side part time for cash and going to school.

I think you should try it out. You have the passion, creativity, and drive from the rap videos, so why not put it to use. Hell take an acting class, or if you're really interested in it, check out a school.

One of my projects i'm working on now you would be perfect for....

and another. before you start making up dreams and saying you want to do "xyz", start doing a feasibility analysis.

you know how much it sucks to own a gym? and the capital involved? and the fact the return is very low (most gyms lose money).
Most gyms are chains for a reason. they're the only ones who can financially support the way a gym operates and market well enough to keep a membership base. plus, the job itself isn't that glamarous. just look at a GM of a gym and tell me you want that life (as an owner, you will have to assume a lot of those roles)

don't just throw baseless shit out there without looking at the details. you'll find that 98% of the "good ideas" that pop out of someone's head tend to be not anywhere close to what they expected

I started to type something similar. The health and fitness industry in general is a very competitive industry and has a cottage industry element which typically results in modest returns.

If you do really love the industry and want to compete, find a niche (i.e. specific training model or selling specialty products) in a really favorable market (i.e. good incomes, good demographics).

Good luck with it! It will take a while to build your own business but it's well worth it IMO.
