I feel lost and overwhelmed, advice on how to approach this all, thanks.

Hi all, the general message of this post -- is I'm currently in college (uk, 16-18), I'm looking to become fully self employed in July when I finish college, and at the moment learning what I need to know and also activly working on some of the projects. My main problem is I'm getting quite stressed and overwhelemd by time constraints, and information overload my trying to learn most of it myself by googling my question. I'm going to add a little detail about myself and my position, but I'll try and keep it short so I can add a more relevant post on what you experts need to know about my situation.

College. I'm in my final year finishing my science A levels where the final exams are in July, this is causing me quite alot stress, as I'm not going to uni but don't want to do badly in my exams. So my schedule is taken up by a fair bit of revision.

Forex trading. This is what I mainly want to be doing when I finish college, I've bought a fair number of high quality books on the subject. So a about an hour daily of my schedule is taken up by that. However this is a job, when I've finally written my trading plan, leaves alot of spare time during the day; I just need to be alert and near my computer from about 6am to 9pm.

Web domains, and making websites. I need money to start trading (min about £500), job prospects arn't looking so great and I'm fairly computer literate. However It's another thing to learn ( the creating mainly). I've purchased about 10 domains over the last year quite casually. I feel like I've come up with some really good buisness ideas for them. In the sense that I've discoverd a niche in a wide community that operates almost solely on the internet, and managed to snap some crucial domain names with good keyword traffic (and I know there's very active communitys present and other positive things). However the building a website part is overwhelming me, I can create basic websites and am learning html and css, but I can't see where its going if you get what I mean; I just seem to be doing html & css tutorials.

Finally organisation. I'm fairly organised, but I dont think I'm being at all productive with it. Ideally I would like to be able to organise almost all of this on my computer -- but i'm again a bit lost how to approach it. How do I coherently log buisness ideas, problems, create interactive buisness and project plans arghhhhhhhh.
All help appreciated, as I said in the first paragraph I'll ad another more specific detailed post of my position, and can post my schedule if you'd like, thanks.

Hi and welcome to the YE forum,so what part of the UK are you from i am just north of London,i would say totally forget about trading fx i would assume you would be trading 'cable' or prehaps something else but going straight into trading is not a good idea,so who had you in mind to trade with ?? i use CMC markets and have done for many years but other trading platforms are available.

So what type of interests do you have as sometimes that could be a way to start off working for yourself,if you need to bounce some ideas off please dont be afraid to ask either on the forum or by PM.

Hi I'm from the south east also (don't want to be to specific on the internet you know). In reply to the 'who you had in mind to trade with', I'm still searching for a broker -- I've heard mixed opinions about fxcm, have heard very good stuff about fxmeta but I'm still researching their background as their a smaller division of a larger firm, and I want to be sure they're solidly registered with financial regulatory bodies. I do watch the charts daily and play around on a practise account, but I'm still trying to get through all my books.

My main problem really is that I spend most of my time on google trying to find answers to all these questions I've mentioned in the post above... its becoming very frustrating when I really just want to get on with it. My paragraph about productive organisation is incredibly frustrating as well.

If you're looking for some organization to your life, try checking out some Productivity products like Eben Pagan's "Wake Up Productive" or "Zen To Done" by Leo Babatua. I was feeling the same way you are now a few months ago, then got really organized and production, and I don't get too overwhelmed any more.

Hey man,

I feel your frustration. I could help you create a blueprint that will help you. I can put together something for you and send it back to you that could be helpful. just send me an IM and I'll do something for you for free.

1. It will help you reduce your overwhelm feeling.
2. It will help you organize your ideas, and help you to identify what activities that will
lead you into doing productive actions, and help create project plans
3. Create buisness ideas involving problems to target

there would be times we would really feel that way

I would suggest Information Products

Perhaps affiliate marketing?

I know quite a few people who make a lot of money this way. (and i mean a lot)

Or if you have any knowledge of a certain subject, create and market your own information product!

I know where you can get a free video course by one of the best internet marketers ever, I wont say it here, but if you are interested message me.

It will take you through the whole process, from first starting, to making your first sales, to making over $1mill a year!

I am now 26 years old, and I make a nice income using a very similar method to the one in the course.

And I started when I was 17, moved out of home at 18 (because I had enough money) and am so, so incredibly happy!

so just message me if you are interested!
