I've been looking into doing something for myself (in the last 6 months), I wanted to create a product that i can call my own (based on trends,statistics,data) - but i got discouraged by the overwhelming shit around with not knowing what the fuck i am doing, where to start, who to group up with.
It also seems like you cant trust anyone but yourself.

I am also kind of affraid to spend any real cash (which are my savings) and plunge into a hole...

I read a lot but havent really applied anything for myself. Working 9-5 destroys any dreams for me, always feeling like a fucking slave.

Just laying this out there...

Bingo, the brilliant idea has been revealed. You're affraid to take the affiliate plunge. You start a blog, call it Affraid and outline your journey to major internet successes.

One of my all time favorite scenes, it talks about the struggle in the rise to the top and not having a backup plan to hold you back, since so many people use that as an excuse to not succeed.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUX8Psof_A0]Dark Knight Rises - Jump Without the Rope Scene - YouTube[/ame]

The rope symbolizes your 'savings' and 'your safety net'. There is a reason in that scene no one was able to get out of the jail with the rope tied to them... Sometimes you have to take the plunge and go for it... Otherwise you'll be living with regret for the rest of your life.

Nothing you read here is going to 'manifest' the will to win. It has to come from within. Right now you are too complacent, got a nice job, savings - rope... The rope maybe your safety net but it's also the thing holding you to the ground from truly flying.

"Do it like the child did, without rope..."

"Fear is why you fail."​
 
Do you think that if every successful person you see, had
stopped before they began their journey and was like:
"I just don't know what to do and i'm scared of failing"
Would they be where they are at? Hell no.

Are you going to make some mistakes? Hell yes.
But these mistakes will help you make money down the road
because you now know what NOT to do.

You don't have to throw all your savings in, you can gradually
invest when you feel like it's time.

And by product, are you talking about creating your own
physical product?

9-5 isn't that bad, you still have 8 hours left after you
get off work and STILL have 8 hours of sleep to get
after that(And honestly, you can live off 4-5 hours for a while)

And to follow up on Carters motivational video, this is a favorite
of mine that really gets me going.

I am already pushing it with extra hours of work and gigs running but still feel like im not doing anything worth it.
It is not a physical product.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond in a serious manner. I guess I really needed that...

Sounds like you need to talk to your supposed customers about your product idea. Find a way to reach them and ask them some questions, after hearing 100 answers you won't be lost anymore, guaranteed. The book "Nail It then Scale It" [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Nail-then-Scale-Entrepreneurs-Breakthrough/dp/0983723605"]NISI[/ame] gives great advice on that, and not only startup-wise, but any idea validation in general.

Step 2. Open ad account at POF and get signed up at EWA.

Step 3. Start campaign and optimize.

Step 4. Lose all your money, kill yourself.

Could you please take this a little more seriously? This guy was brave enough to bare his soul to us, if you can't respect that then maybe just don't say anything.
 
^^ well, we do not know for certain which response (motivational or back to earth from his dreaming) will help lead for the better, balance is key
 
You might want to look into selling private dedicated proxies. This is a solid business model.

Oh, and for your competitive edge offer 24/7 support.

lettuce be cereal.

to create a product, you have to use a lot of products to see why they're pieces of shit. I don't know why you need to group up with anyone, or whatever shit. Note down every time you get pissed off at an inferior piece of tracking and why - and then you'll have an awesome product to create that fills a lot of gaps. And then spend 6 months paying someone to develop it properly while you commit 6 mini-suicides.

Starting an IM Soup Kitchen soon - with all the spoon feeding I do.
 
1) work temporarily at a 9-5 to build up more bankroll

2) slowly build up campaigns, without destroying your savings, to try out your idea

3) don't be afraid of a bit of failure. probably 80-90% of campaigns end up failing. but it's that 10% of success that earns back all your losses and puts you ahead.
