Get and indy to L3.

Train a few basic ship skills to L3.

Train any starting trade skill to L3.

You will have a toon worth working with real fast.

Train rest based on your trade needs.

If you are hauling lots of items secure your Indy more.

Need more cargo get higher level indy.

Adjust these aspects within a couple days at most.

Remap for chrs.

Train every trade skill to 5.

Remap and get you PI and other int/mem skills done.

Focus on things that will help open up orca to you. This is a must have trade ship!

Next remap train up your ships.
Max indy, orca, freighter.

Congradulations you are now a full trader/PI pilot in the least amount of time with the most amount of ussage over time to make max isk for your main.

one thing you might consider is training for blockade runner and/or covop.

1. Not all trade or PI skills use charisma as primary attribute. So check before respeccing.

2. Social skills help with getting your standings up towards the owner corp of the station where you sell your stuff. See this chart: http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Thoraemond/eve-market-order-broker-fees-20110417.png The usual way to grind standings is by mission running so you need some kind of pewpew boat and skills to go with that.

3. Ships you want in addition of the freighter: Orca, blockade runner, transport ship, covert ops. Avoid T1 industrials, they are simply too flimsy.
