Startup Overseas Forums

Hi All,

I love business and being an entrepreneur, its all ive ever done and i couldn't do
anything else.

Ive been in business my entire working life and never had a real job. On the 25th of May 2011 (not long ago) I lost everything overnight.
Im 32 and will be starting from scratch with all my savings ($5kUS). Quite a paltry sum I know.

3 weeks ago i was running a fruit and veg business in Sydney Australia from online, living the 4 hour work week, travelling the world having fun.
Ive been operating the business for 11 years age 21 to 32.

Im joining today for a couple of reasons:

1. I like talking shop and offering advice (well now I think ill be looking for advice:)

2. Id like a place to post my updates and get feedback and advice from the community on how to rebuild. 5k has to cover living expenses too.

Thanks for reading, its time to go back to work.

Hi Mitch,

I am also on the same boat, planning to start from scratch. I am in UAE now and like you was doing business always. All of a sudden everything went off from me and have to restart now.

Am planning to start a Building Maintenance Company or an Indian Restaurant in UAE / in a European Country.

Please advice me how to proceed. About my Bank balance - it is 0.

Regards,
Manu

Hi Manu,

I dont know why this didn't come to my email, must update the settings.

I would go with building maintenance if you dont have any cash. Restauarants you need to spend money on food, premises, staff , marketing etc....its an expensive exercise.

Building Maintenance is a totally different story..

any other advice you can email me at admin@bigiqs.com
