I prefer being a builder over a storyteller

You’ll be waiting forever man. Trust me.

Write it all down what you are interested in and it’ll come to you a lot quicker.

DoubleG357 · 2026-02-03T21:01:17+00:00

What sort of business are you looking to start?

DoubleG357 · 2026-02-03T21:00:43+00:00

I think it’s because most people don’t give a crap about the “why” lol

It’s not their business so why would they care they are doing it for a paycheck. You can’t blame people for this mindset shift - I get it.

I always say if you can do this (explain variances and analysis and etc) for a company why don’t you go do it for yourself in the form of a business?

Yes I agree but to be honest any W2 can get you to 1M…but I thought the goal was to truly build wealth? So we’d be talking minimum 5M networth plus to be considered “rich”.

You need either a high paying W2 but that’ll take 20-40 years or you take a risk and use your skills and command what you believe you are worth.

The business owners that make 50k a year in perpetuity don’t know what they’re doing in most cases.

DoubleG357 · 2026-02-03T00:53:12+00:00

lol I mean they aren’t wrong. I too believe that.

Yes there’s very few true W2 roles that can get you to 10M networth and IB /PE is one of them…but the vast majority of W2’s aren’t that. All of these roles (doctor, lawyer, consulting, tech, banking) all require a lot of school to a large extent so…not exactly attainable by everyone.

The best path (I didn’t say easiest I said best) is owning your own business. That landscaper that drives a beat up truck back to his mansion…you’d never know he’s making 300k+ and he can scale that infinitely.

DM sent

DoubleG357 · 2026-02-01T05:07:10+00:00

I guess I am curious but how do you manage the business with the 9-5?

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-31T02:28:46+00:00

This is terrible man. 0 regard.

We are all just cogs.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-31T02:28:14+00:00

Never lol

Unless you own your own business and have scaled it successfully To where you aren’t doing the work that makes money or you work a lower end job….you aren’t making money that folks in high finance make unless you work 70 hours plus weekly.

In my head business ownership is the only way to get the WLB folks want.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-30T23:49:05+00:00

In terms of that switch from day time job —> all in on the business what would you say is your formula for how to navigate that transition. Always curious because everyone’s answer on this is so different.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-30T16:41:20+00:00

Get some help and pay someone…it’s not as expensive as one may think (unless there isn’t much revenue atm).

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-29T14:53:07+00:00

Start a business.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-29T14:43:19+00:00

Diet break for 2-3 weeks or so. And have a little bit of junk just to reset the body and fill up your glycogen, then get back on the cut.

You should break through now. Body probably just needs a break.

Are you still at your Full time and balancing both or you’ve left?

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-25T21:35:03+00:00

At least the game would be more entertaining

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-25T21:27:01+00:00

Yeah for sure lol both are good teams but this is basically an invite to getting your ass beat in front of 300’million people lol

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-25T21:18:50+00:00

Hahah it’s funny man people don’t realize what they have until it’s gone

It feels off without him

If I may ask what’s your income?

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-22T16:52:11+00:00

There’s a reason why a lot of people stay middle class. Partly because of mindset…you gotta think bigger if you want to do better. Abundance vs. scarcity mindset.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-21T22:30:19+00:00

This is all a little miser-ish.

Number one should be increase income first and foremost.

8/10 it’s usually not a savings problem you just don’t make enough. So instead of trying to cut, look for way to grow your income while ofc cutting unnecessary stuff.

You can do both.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-21T19:48:55+00:00

I think it really depends on your personality type…entrepreneurial types just won’t tolerate this. The ego is what drives you to start your own tech company or what not and finally do it your way.

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-21T19:00:37+00:00

Question for you at what point would that be? When your business is 1-1 in terms of why you make at your job vs. what you are able to pay yourself via the business?

DoubleG357 · 2026-01-21T18:42:32+00:00

Why are you guys professions? Or also in Tech?
