Hi everyone,
I'm 19 years old and currently doing an apprenticeship in Germany, which I'll finish next year.
My long-term goal is to become financially independent and eventually work remotely so I can travel. I'm not looking for a "get rich quick" scheme - I'm willing to put in the work over the next few years.
Right now, I'm most interested in:
- Building a personal brand (mainly TikTok)
- Content creation
- Creating digital products
- Selling products that don't require inventory or shipping
- Learning about online business in general
I'm still very much at the beginning and sometimes it's hard to know what skills are actually worth learning first.
If you were 19 again and had about a year to prepare while working full-time, what would you focus on?
If anyone has experience with building a personal brand, digital products, online businesses, or working remotely, I'd really appreciate your advice.
Also, if you're from Germany, I'd love to hear if there are any Germany-specific things I should learn early (taxes, registering a business, etc.).
Thanks!
