I have no idea what to do. (Rant)

I want to (and need to) start a business. I have been wanting this for a long time. Things always got in the way, and when I did start product development, I ended up not liking the product. It was a lip balm.

Then I kind of got sucked in to doing a perfume, and jumped the gun too soon. Probably got slightly taken advantage of. That ended up not working out after a year of development due to many things.

My trademarked is filed but I have no product or anything and its been a while. I’m embarrassed and mad at myself, frustrated.

I thought for a long time I will just find a new perfume supplier, and it has not been easy. Same thing with skin care. Many emails and calls go unnoticed. Mostly emails. When I do “meet” with these manufacturers, often times the initial meeting goes nowhere. They either ghost me, or I can’t meet their MOQ so I decline.

Now i’m torn between doing a skin care product business or perfume. I would like to do sunscreen but those have higher MOQs, so I’m not sure about it.

I’m tired of having to find manufacturers who are legit and not sketchy. I’m tired of getting ghosted or completely ignored.

It seems super complicated to just start and work with a contract manufacturer.

I am not giving up though. I just dont even know what direction i’m headed. I guess the one that comes to me first.

There’s not much of a point to this. Just a rant I suppose.
