Hello!
I'm looking to start a business. Perhaps I'm a little a head of myself though, let me introduce myself. My name is John Johnson, I'm 22 years old. I have a small amount of business experience, I was a manager at some local restaurant chains. I know, it's not much, but it's what I have. Either way, it taught me the in's and out's of some of the more day to day exercises, especially when it came to finances. In addition, it put me in the position of being able to watch and experienced and successful businessman.
Anyways, without rambling too much more, I'll be blunt. I want any and all advice I can get. Criticism is welcomed, provided it's constructive.
The business I plan on starting (and almost already have) is a Music Instrument Retail business. While I would, one day, like to have a physical storefront, right now it's a completely "from home" type deal. At the moment, I basically "flip" instruments. Buy old or in less than stellar shape instrument, fix them up, and then re-sell them. My plan has always been to do this for several years, putting all the money made to the side, as well as adding what money I can from my current day job into the pile. After five years or so, I hope to have enough to start the actual physical store front.
Now, as I said, any advice is more than welcome, right now my main concerns are marketing on a budget, and adding to my start up finances in any way I can. Any advice?
