I have failed with my business because I didn't take marketing seriously. I didn't know it mattered that much. So my year long work went to trash.
The thing is, marketing is one of the fundamentals in business. And failing in it means I really lack business fundamentals. So where do I find the best place to learn all the fundamentals about business? And if you have already succeeded your business, what was the business model you followed from start to earning your first income?
Best Business Model?

I’d love to know more about this as well!
I would listen to Founders Podcast, Business Breakdowns, Jim Rohn, and the old MFCEO Project podcast episodes.
On the first two, keep a pad of paper and anytime you hear a financial term that you don’t understand related to business, google it and learn it.
This is working on yourself.
Go work full time in whatever field that you like. You need sales skills so if you can get a sales job, that’s a bonus.
Even if you’re not in a sales role, any employee can bring sales into the company. That’s the guy that they’re gonna look at.Why not be you?
No matter what job you get study, every role in the company, until you understand the basics of it.
Study the marketplace in your industry.
The competitors, the company you work for the distribution. The supply chains, the manufacturers, the creators, the sales channels, the marketing chann…..
Ask why at every point.
Make lists.
Everything you need to know about business.You can learn at any job that you have if you’re curious. Work harder on yourself than you do your job.
