New to WSO - Interested in IB

Hello everyone, just interested in IB not very long ago, and have been working on it ever since.

I was born and grew up in Asia, wanting to be a professional Latin and Ballroom dancer(my childhood partner won Asia-Olympics in 2012). Then I got a govt scholarship to study abroad in S'pore alone at 16. I spotted a mkt gap between high-end and low-end dance shoes and started my own biz there, and expanded my small biz to part of other surrounding countries. Then upon high school graduation I did some gold&silver-trading work for 9 month in my home country. Now I am a 2nd yr at a non-target in the US, just got interested in IBD last summer.

Any non-target monkeys willing to help me?
