Hey everyone, my name is Filip, and im 18. Im new to this site, and everything and im hoping to learn alot from here. And to possibly meet some people who are interested in the same ideas as myself.

I may be young but i have tried many different ideas, some successes in their short time spans, and some not successes. But all these adventures have taught me valuable lessons.

One of my ideas, is to start a importing/exporting buisness that could be all run online, and through conference calls. So i would think seeing im in North America, it would be best to find 1-2 (maybe more) partners in Europe, and Asia. and we can import cheap goods, or commodities in any quantity to Asia for production.

Well thats my idea. :P

Hey Filip, I started where you were at about a year ago. The difference is that i wanted to work in Africa. I chose Africa because I have a network of people that I trust there and they also see my vision. Plus they're buying power is very strong and also underrated. Anyways, the best thing I did was have a cup of coffee with an older guy who imports goods from China to sell here in Toronto, and he basically schooled me in what to look out for and stuff. So basically, my first advice is to find a real life mentor. He/she could be on YE, but better yet someone you can sit with and chat. I'm open to help in any way if you need me as well. Good luck fellow Canuck!
