I am 20 years old and my business has tanked.

I have $300 left to my name and I need to start cash flowing as fast as humanly possible.

My plan is to get back into sales cash flow 5-10k per month then roll that money into entrepreneurial ventures

I have two years of sales experience -Tech SDR -logistics AE -selling my own offer (small business SAAS)

My question is: What type of sales should I pursue

Tech sales
Commission only High ticket closing for personal brand offers (coaching, courses, etc)

I really dislike the corporate space but I know I could land a pretty high paying tech sales job fast with my resume.

High ticket sales is what I really want to do but the barrier to entry is much greater. It’s all about who you know, networking and would take time that I don’t have

What should I do. By this time next month I NEED to be making 5k minimum per month

I've never understood these targets: "I need to hit X by time Y". They never take into account the system you are working with, the actual harmony of the methodology you use and your genuine happiness in the process.

What if you don't hit that target? Will the world end, or will your ego collapse? You don't have money, go get a job. There is no shame in working, the economy is driven by it, we all survive due to people working. When I had 100$ in my pocket, I went to work for restaurants, and I was 22 at that time.
