Hello all. My 'sob' story
hello ladies and gents,

My names Lee, 25 and i live in Bristol in the UK.

Im the only one in my family who has got a degree (in business and IT) and took a bit of a hit money wise when i got through the 4years uni 2 years College.

ive ALWAYS had the ambition to have my own business (sometimes a bit too ambitious) and am still more than ready to take the risks involved to start up something that i truly believe in.

Ive had many good ideas in the past (some i really believe could have, or have already been very successful), but my money situation and lack of anyone around me with the REAL ambition, its been hard to get something going.

Im basically hoping this site will introduce me to really driven and ambitious people, like me and hopefully mean we can share ideas and try and make each other very rich!

I currently have an idea that i think is a good money maker, its a site that pretty much runs itself (kind of a middle man only real issue would be site security and emails responses) but i havent taken it any further than a business plan before, so if theres anyone about who can spare a bit of email response time on me, i would not forget it, when i hit the bigtime!

In bristol there is a distinct lack of people/friends who are willing to help you out to realise a dream, gone are the 'love story film' days of friends doing favours and reaping the rewards for that favour later on. I ALWAYS sort out the people that i know help me with an open heart, so im hoping to find some genuine people here.

thanks

Lee

Lee -

It's not a sob story it's Introduction to your life before things really started taking off. It's always nice to meet like-minded people, feel free to drop me a message or an e-mail. I'd love to talk with you about possibilities - I'm in business with gold wholesale and wireless communications.
Sincerely,

your right, ive had alot of business experience, but im not working for the man anymore! im looking to make money online, until the point where i can quit and live on my profits.

ive pondered alot of ideas, one such idea, which only fell through because of a friend who didnt want to commit to making the site, was done before i managed to get it out there, and was sold to a certain well known org for 3.9m. So if i can even take in 20% of that, id be quite happy.

would love to talk to you guys about my ideas, and whether you think they could still be applied to todays market. . obviously certain new ideas i would have to keep until im a bit more confident im dealing with a partner!

how about a background on everyone who writes here? be good to know about you all too.
