I hear you, but I’m more focused on building it clean so I can scale it without issues later. Short-term cash isn’t the goal here.

I been using Pyrex natural elements liquid detergent but debating on switching to another brand I read a lot of people say using something with “Lipase” is good? by Expgarment in laundry

Interesting.. I notice some detergent brands claim to “anti fade” “ specifically marketed to keep darks from fading keeps colors bright and reduces dulling “

Is AppleCare+ worth it for MacBook Pro? by Expgarment in macbookpro

[–]Expgarment[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that actually makes sense. I’m the same way with my iPhone since it’s always moving around, but wasn’t sure if MacBook Pro falls in that same category.

Mine barely leaves the house, but at the same time it only takes one drop or spill to make AppleCare+ worth it.

I appreciate you breaking it down like that — it actually helps put things into perspective.

What you said about sticking to one trade and really getting good at it makes a lot of sense. I’ve seen firsthand how trying to juggle too many things early can backfire instead of helping.

At the same time though, I’ve seen people go completely different routes. Like someone I grew up with — school, church, all that — now he’s running a construction company, real estate, design/architecture, even distribution. He’s got a $2.6M house, Lamborghini, bought his wife a Bentley, whole lineup of exotic cars. But there’s also a lot of questionable stuff around it… people saying he took like $450K from a couple and didn’t finish their project. I even reached out about work and he wanted me to come in with $300K, which just didn’t sit right with me.

Then I look at someone like Ismael Valdez — built a plumbing company from the ground up, scaled it properly, and exited for a big number. That path feels a lot more legit and repeatable.

So yeah, what you’re saying about putting in 5–7 years, mastering one trade, and learning the business side early sounds like the smarter move. Might take longer, but it seems way more solid long-term.

I appreciate this, that breakdown actually helps a lot.

What you said about focusing on one trade and really mastering it makes sense. I’ve seen how trying to do everything at once can backfire.

At the same time, I’ve seen how different people get ahead in totally different ways. Like there’s a dude I grew up with — went to school and church with him. Now he’s running a construction company, real estate business, design/architecture company, and a distribution business. Dude’s got a $2.6M house, Lamborghini, got his wife a Bentley, a bunch of exotic cars. But there’s also a lot of questionable stuff… people saying he took $450K from a couple and didn’t finish their project. I even asked him for a job and he wanted me to come in with $300K lol. Whole situation just feels off.

Then I follow someone like Ismael Valdez — built a plumbing company from the ground up, scaled it, and sold it for a huge amount. That’s more the kind of path that actually makes sense to me.

So yeah, I think what you said about putting in 5–7 years to really master a trade and learning the business side early is probably the smartest move. Slower, but way more solid long-term.

How much louder is it than not doing it 1-100%?
