Default Getting All I can, Out of All I got

Heads up, this is a bit lengthy.

Outcome: To tie together what I know in making $1000 a week.

Purpose: To become self reliant, to quit mooching off those I care about, and to build a base so that I can become that which I'm meant to be.

Okay, I'm in need of a clone of me so to speak. I need a fresh pair of eyes to help me string the dots together, into making a viable income doing something I enjoy doing.

I have Experiance in the following:
Flea Markets-
I have helped run a flea market booth for a period of time. Deciding what and how much to order was my job. When I took over this aspect, sales almost doubled. However, I kept wanting to buy things to experiment and make things easier, quicker or better. (Trend throughout everything I do)

Ebay & Websites:
I've built basic looking and yet complex websites and auctions, involving php to import a suppliers products and export a listing for turbo lister. I've looked into, but not done much with the API's, but have wanted to. I've learned what I've needed for what, when the job calls for it. I've handled shipping of multitudes of product dealing with both USPS and UPS, even delving into their Database and Automating features. I've answered and handled emails, also data entry. Difficulties where usually with the aesthetics, graphics and the like.

Convenience Stores:
I've done basic clerking and managed. I've done ordering, cash reports, inventory control, invoicing, data entry. I can read Profit and Loss, and Balance Sheets (Could use more practice in fulling understanding the impacts of these). I've learned programs based on need or curiousness available for the job. I'm a quick study on paperwork, computers, and software. Often called to help troubleshoot. Also, I was good with people in terms with getting along with everyone. Start off shy and controlled and end up usually a bridge for those who didn't get along. Difficulties here were getting too personal after a while.

Driver:
I've done a lot of driving around the country, I've been from coast to coast and very good with Cell Phones in terms of traveling tools. I love ChaCha and Google for this. Plus, I can read maps well and have good sense of direction. Usually only needing to visit a place once. I have done a lot of traveling, renting cars and such.

Personal Interest and Hobbies:
I believe in only buying what you need, and spent a lot of money for a few years eating out in Las Vegas, I could probably be a critic/reviewer for many restaurants. I enjoy to read and watch Anime. I enjoy going to the movies, but rarely like to watch the same thing more then once unless it really effected me, or out of boredom. I enjoy comics of late too. I enjoy helping people. Making things easier, quicker, better overall. (again I say this, Qualifier below*).

I enjoy to read and to learn, if there is something someone else wants to know about I can probably reference many things I've read, and tie it into other things in their lives, however find it difficult to apply things, especially while on my own. Not many I know have the same interests, oddly the one who got me into it is my brother. We do not get along for long periods of time. I enjoy learning and talking about what I've learned, he enjoys talking about business and money, and since it never strikes me as something everyone can do, and adds genuine lasting value, I wait to find what can.*


Currently I have access to the following:
3000 Adult DVDs Disc only
Internet
Furniture Company housing thousands of products, the difficulty here is that shipping is expensive and has damaged products in the past.
I know of a handful of dvd companies that sell or drop ship dvds.
I know of another company that holds a few other products like jackets, clocks, and cookware. I have believed this to be saturated online.
I'm in Las Vegas, NV.
I'm withing Driving Distance to LA. However no car.


I'm sure there is more, but that is what I'm been focusing on lately. I think the furniture company is key. Other ideas I've thought about is, if I need a call, help others get a car or sell cars, if I need a place to live, help others keep theirs. I need to learn things, I'm sure others need to too. I see a disconnect in the world between finding the information and using it effectively. I'd like to smooth that out a little bit. Your thoughts please!
