Hey! I think you are great, I haven't even started.

Some people afraid to tell their parents their idea, because their parents will discourage them, but my case is a little different, I need a little advice.
My parents encourage me for entrepreneurship/ starting some small business - start selling things etc...(doesn't require many funds)

I'm 21, currently doing 8-5 job, I don't know what to do at the moment,
My skills: Procurement/ Purchasing, intermediate English, Chinese (HSK2).

My Dad: He encourages me to sell something, He lives in USA, I live in Southeast Asia, thinking of exporting to USA (he can help me with exporting, all I have to do is products/ finding customers). But I don't want to discuss much with him about my idea, because I afraid of conflicts with him about idea, maybe?

I appreciate his help, and trying to utilize what I can do now given the opportunity.

I love PC hardware, love learning about them and solving problem, thinking of starting a YouTube channel dedicated for that every week (1 video). I want to do this partly because I'm interested in solving people's problems, I don't expect to get money out of this.
