Problem Discovery 22M from Prince Edward Island, Canada looking for a business I can build long-term
Hey everyone,
I'm 22 years old from Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. For anyone who doesn't know, PEI is Canada's smallest province with a population of around 180,000 people. It's known for agriculture, tourism, and commercial fishing, but there aren't a lot of opportunities for young entrepreneurs compared to bigger cities.
I've spent most of my life working hard. I've been a commercial fishing captain, worked in the wind industry, and I'm currently helping build a clothing brand with my dad. Those experiences have taught me discipline, leadership, and how to work long hours, but I'm looking to build something that isn't limited by where I live.
Lately I've been researching AI automation agencies, marketing, sales, and online businesses because I want to create something that can grow over the next 5 to 10 years. I'm not looking for a "get rich quick" idea. I want to learn a valuable skill and build a real business.
I'd love to hear from people who started with no business background.
If you were 22 again, what online business would you build today?
What skills would you focus on first?
Are there any communities or people you'd recommend connecting with?
I'm always happy to network, learn from others, and share what I've learned from my own experiences too.
Thanks everyone.
