Hello, I hope all is well. I am an 18 year old that is looking to start a business. I have dipped into the service providing area in July where I was supposed to make websites for people but I ended up doing a free trial creating videos for a possible client. I ended up stopping that. Wasn’t leading me to earning income.

My main question here is, what would you tell your 18 year old self to start? I truly like the idea of having an online business. I am in Computer Science at the moment for school and I was thinking of getting into saas. But I also see tons of different videos on different businesses to start. I just want to mention, I do not have shiny object syndrome. I am just interested in starting & getting advice from anyone.

Also, one thing I see often is, dropshipping, smma(which I tried to go in on), trading and Amazon fba. I see this everywhere. I don’t know if truly you can make a large sum of income from it or it’s just the courses that help them.

I started learning about business at 15 where I started a YouTube automation channel and later stopped that. Then got into cutting hair for others. And ever since I have turned 18 I have been learning a lot more on stocks, credit, as well as retirement plans. But truly retirement isn’t my end goal. I just like idea of working towards something.

So if anyone that is in the business areas I have mentioned I’d be open to hear your perspective from it and any perspective from others as well.
