This is just an idea in inception. I have zero knowledge regarding the legal process of starting up a supplement online store and the general process of sourcing/transportation. I would like to hear some input from the gurus like /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb , /u/liftmode, /u/PowderCity and /u/mocha-rain, if they are willing to coach a young mind that might one day help flourish noot community. Any suggestion/criticism is welcomed as I want to learn how this online store thing works.

I am going to be brutally honest: if you have no experience in anything to do with the business, legal, sourcing, importation, testing, or sales aspect of the nootropics industry, what could you possibly offer that would add value? I could give you everything you needed to start a small nootropics company in a matter of days/weeks. However, why would I do that? What do you bring to the table, other than the desire to make more money than you are?
Successful businesses add value. Even then, many do not make it. I've worked 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, for the past few years. Even so, I am behind on everything. I've also spent over $2 Million on expenses just this year alone. Unless you have more drive than that, or a novel idea, failure is almost guaranteed. That also speaks nothing to the risk involved, or the trust people put in you for their safety. Think long and hard about this, and if you think you can add value. If so, write me a PM, and we can discuss it.
