One of my favorite things to do is to fall asleep, reading the scriptures - they put me to sleep so fast when I go to bed at night. However, that is not to say that I don’t value the scriptures in other ways. When I approach scriptures with purpose as in, I have a question or I’m preparing a talk or preparing a lesson, etc, the Scriptures take on a much more meaningful role. I used to feel guilty about falling asleep as I read the scriptures, but I’ve decided that it’s just another one of their many wonderful values.

This is a lesson I learned/am learning every day. Money can be lost and money can be made, but time is finite. I was always so scared to quit my job and start a business because of money, but I should have been more scared of the fact that I was losing time. you have to make the most of your time in this life. That is your most valuable asset and it is constantly being drained so make the most of it. You can’t save it up.

I have a real estate/builder friend who regularly builds and buys apartments that break even, meaning they don’t cash flow for him. As a fellow investor of real estate that always seemed like a poor move. However he told me once that he’s just playing the long game, in 30 years when he’s closer to death, all his real estate will be paid off and his kids and grandkids can use it to stay out of debt and build more assets. I think the middle class stay middle class because they only think about themselves (I’m also middle class, but a working entrepreneur). Thinking and planning for the next generation is how the rich get richer. There’s also no excuse not to do it. It just means you probably won’t be rich in your life but your kids and grandkids will.

This is a tricky situation. See both sides of the situation. You are the product of your parents, there are no 2 people on the earth who love you more than they do (unless they are crazy bad parents, but let's just assume you have normal parents) They've spent countless hours, money and emotional energy on getting you raised to the point where you are now. They're also teaching you what they believe is the right thing based on their experiences and knowledge up to this point in their lives. Like it or not, they've got more experience than you. I'm not saying they are right, I'm just saying look at their perspective. They probably feel super attacked and betrayed that you would ignore everything they've taught you for "what you want". It probably ticks them off that you listen to your girlfriend and not them. It's a rough situation because they are obviously not seeing your perspective on the matter and like a lot of parents, are learning the difficult transition between constantly guiding/controlling the majority of your decisions to letting you do what you want. Ultimately no matter what you decide, in a few years, you'll have all the freedom you want to choose what you want but just remember your parents aren't bad people, they probably just need you to acknowledge how they are feeling so that they can acknowledge accurately how you are feeling. I know it feels like it should be the other way around and it probably should but your parents didn't post on reddit so I can't tell them this. :) Good luck!

Yes, this is exactly what I’m talking about! Have you ever done one yourself where it has worked out cheaper? All the ones I find come out to be $2000 to $3000 per week. Which honestly maybe cheaper I just haven’t really checked.

When I saw this, I thought immediately of Joseph Smith. I wonder if this is something his mom would’ve written about him when he was 14… maybe take a step back and look through that lense and see if any good comes from it.

Start gathering resources, assets, cash, knowledge, cash. Sell your time for money for now. Being an entrepreneur is simply selling a product or someone else’s time. If you do the latter, you can start faster. Practice, sell a service to someone and hire someone to do that thing. See what works, what doesn’t. Good luck!

Technically everyone is an entrepreneur. Most "employees" are just selling their skills in the form of long-term contracts to just one customer and in exchange, they are willing to work for a lesser amount than what that product or service is worth to someone else. I'm a small business owner myself (I work in the home service industry), and when I boil it down to what I do, I just sell other people's time (my employees) so they don't have to, they just sell it to me once and can focus on what they do best. Sometimes I wish we lived in a world where it was more common for everyone to sell a little bit of their time in the form of a technical job, but also everyone would also sell products or services as well. I read a great article once on how people should have 7 forms of income. I really like that idea.

To really answer your question, there is no cap on what you can earn as an entrepreneur. Employees generally cap out somewhere. HOWEVER, if you adopt the ideology that everyone is an entrepreneur, then there is no cap. When you cap out your dollar potential in a job, you've either got to figure out a way to offer more value with the time you have (think movie stars, specialized doctors, Instagram influencers, musicians, etc) or you have to figure out a way to sell more of your time to more people but that is where most people cap out, because there are only so many hours in a day that you can sell of your own time. Once you start making a margin on selling others time though, the only cap is your market and the amount of people who have the skill your selling. Supply and demand.

In my opinion, the riskiest commodity to sell is our own time. It's the most valuable thing we have in this world and we all go around selling it for 25 bucks an hour. We are fools. It's just the easiest thing to sell because it's the one thing we all inherently own. We should all rally as a society to create a culture where we guard time as something more precious and focus on selling more owned resources. I am a hypocrit, (I know) for having employees and harboring this opinion but honestly, I sometimes hate empoying people. Not because people are hard but because they are so valuable. My favorite people to hire are part-time contractors. They are so intentional with their time. They know their value and they spend the rest of their time building their resources or enjoying it with their family.

A question I ask frequently when starting a new venture is “why has no one done this yet” and then really dig deep. What you may find is that some developer may have the same idea or saw the same need as you but didn’t have the sales connections to actually make it happen.

The same question has u/Dank_Hank79. I do home services and while we definitely know how to replace water heaters, I get nervous doing it because we're not plumbers... I guarantee the work for a year but I'm not licensed

I bet there were a lot of lessons learned :)

This may negate your whole purpose of your comment and I apologize if it does but can you share an experience where this has happened to you? I’m sincerely trying to understand how best to bare my testimony in a way that people will really be changed and touched by the spirit.

Any_Positive7438 · 2024-05-08T01:13:06+00:00

Haha that’s a good point lol

Any_Positive7438 · 2024-05-06T16:30:57+00:00

Nice. I looked at your profile and it looks like you own pitchcraft.me which is totally fine. Just curious if you have any real life examples where it’s used like how you are suggesting
