Hi everyone! I hope y'all are doing well!
So I'm a 23-year-old entrepreneur (or what I would describe myself as). I started my business when I was 18, and I've been going for 5 years now. Since I started, I wanted to make my first million by the age of 25. The problem I'm facing is that I live in a third-world country, and it's literally impossible to make that kind of money without being someone's son or government-related. Btw, I make like 6 times the average income here (average income in my country is $300 per month), which is far off the millionaire status.
Long story short, I'm in the e-commerce business, and I'm good at marketing and making sales.
I'm open to any suggestions for someone like me to advance in his business venture and try a new business or market.

Are you doing sales through online streaming or only through regular ecommerce platform?

I’m not sure which “third world” country you are referring to. But my friend runs an education technology company based in Asia with a presence in India. I know they are looking for someone who can work together on their e-commerce venture.

If this is something you are interested in, you can DM me ;)

If I were in your shoes. I'd start at your figure of one million. And then make a plan backwards on how you're going to get there.

You say e-commerce, you need to calculate how many sales you need and how you're going to achieve those sales.

A concise plan is how you achieve your goal.

I'm also from a third-world country.

It's easy to blame others when I can't make the advancement I'm aiming for. Though I know there are some tough situations.

In my country, I've seen hundreds of Entrepreneurs making millions by Facebook Page not even a website.

One of the common things in 3rd world countries are dense population. So you can reach with your products to a wider audience.

As you have sales expertise, source products that you feel are unique and sell. Take a few courses if necessary.

An experienced guy like you can make more I believe.
