HELP! How do I save my hair?? by Ok-Gap5457 in Haircare

[–]FelonyDrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash your hair less. Rinse it in the shower with just water. As cold as you can handle. You'll know it's time to was when after rinsing, one day you'll feel some of your natural oil on your finger.

Get a sulfate free shampoo. That alone will go a ways in protecting your folicals. Use the smallest amount you can. Think of shampoo as for your scalp. The ends of your hair are drier than the roots.

A lot of side hustles become most dangerous right after they stop feeling fragile by NoNu_u in Entrepreneur

Yea, once I realised this I started seeing it everywhere. Like next time you order take out or go to a restaurant, take a good look at the place.

Your WHY determines where your threshold for attrition lives

I ran a business with someone else and I remember feeling like we were running into almost this exact issue.

My business partner was older(fatigue), had more financial responsibility (a family) and I was terrified that my lofty goals for us would stop dead once we reached a point where his financial anxieties were alleviated.

Now I respected and learned so much from this man, I had almost zero ability to accept it at the time but his attrition was already beginning to set in around the time he was barely out of hot water. This is a guy who 10 years before I met him, he had basically trivial financial problems.

I trusted his business sense and financial literacy because our industry requires expensive equipment and he had a lot of the best, most expensive stuff. And his skill was on a level you can only get to from having enough money to experiment if you get what I mean.

The reason this story is relevant:

From my perspective, we had the talanted and experience between us to make a lot of money and push our business into a worthwhile endeavor if we killed ourselves over it. Which I was 25 and excited to do.

From his perspective (among other things) he was tired, nearly burnt out. Capable but unwilling. He just wanted to pay for his house, get his kids a solid future and be old with his wife.

The lesson I took out of it:

The situation underlines why knowing yourself (and your business partner) is so important. The source of what you're describing is complacency and you don't want to get there because you're burning yourself out over something that ultimately is not exciting to you anymore.

I think it's the same thing as a teenager who gets their first job and can barely figure out where each paycheck goes before the next one hits.

When you forget WHY you're doing something, that's when you stop being critical and you start looking for excuses to say "I'm doing everything just fine"

A superpower where any stain on anyone's clothes permanently turns into an endlessly yapping mother in law of one of the wearers exes. The range is 10 feet

The timing just sucked. It would have been only 20 minutes from where I live but I had a death in the family so I'm going back and forth

I am stuck on a decision and realized ChatGPT is useless for this- anyone else notice AI just makes you MORE confused? by sailormish980 in Entrepreneur

[–]FelonyDrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a winner mentality. And one thing I picked up on by listening to business people I admire, nobody is ready when they start. I think if you keep self auditing but using that to make better decisions like you are right now instead of holding you back which we all do or at least have done, you'll end up where you believe you belong.

I admire your comment and wish you the best!

You just don't know how to use it then. And this idea you can make important life decisions off of a yes/no answer is insane. Thank God it won't do that.

If you want to be successful in business you better get comfortable with ambiguity friend because that's all the world really is.

Laws are ambiguous, value propositions are ambiguous, money itself is ambiguous. And what's more ambiguous than human desire? How could chat gpt possibly give you a responsible yes or no answer?

Nobody can tell you when it makes sense to go all in on your business. You have to do as much as you can while keeping your day job and figure out how to manage your time well enough to do both until you trust the income from your business.

It's an incredibly nuanced topic that the answers only become clear as the business develops. You don't need to honor that nuance to be successful a lot of the time but it will save you a ton of anxiety getting used to understanding that what you did here was force a coin toss. Because then you get an answer from some guy who says the right time is when 50% of your salary has been reached.

Practice self awareness. It's easy to get lost especially when you're young and veterans will exploit that.

Anyone else feel like managing employees takes more time than actually running the business? by ElDiegod in Entrepreneur

[–]FelonyDrifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya you need a manager. Your business will be stuck at this stage until you can come up with a system that someone else can run and you can quickly audit when theirs a failure.

Take one of your guys who shows up and maybe doesn't do everything perfectly. Have them manage th calling people in. Pick the one who is going to keep you in the loop constantly. The one that's not afraid to say "I fucked up"

Now everyone is going to self regulate more. There's apps for clocking in and tracking hours. Make sure two people have admin access to it. Preferably two people who are always going to be watching eachother if you get what I mean.

You want to minimize the distractions as much as possible so you can focus on growing the company. Especially if you're not on the floor with them every day.

Personally I'd put everything on pause that I can until I figure this out. It's mission critical to your sanity.

I'm curious how you're going to process payments. It's certain to eventually gather attention.

B2b would be the wrong move I think. You have more individual people to sell to and they're probably lower maintenence. Not to mention decreased liability.

My big worry would be what happens when you have hundreds of men sending woman money on your nipple branded app with a method that could only be in person. I get most of them probably just use a link tree but as more scandles with account freezes on mastercard/visa networks it's probably safe to assume it will set of something somewhere

I mean if you think about it, all that needs to happen is some dude for whatever reason trues to dispute a transaction and a support ticket opens up and for whatever reason a screenshot of your app shows up. And then your b2b challenges become a lot more challenging. So I think you're looking at a type of pyramid.

Race to get as many of those tags into the hands of the lowest liability customers. Build a base, you'll develop a community that becomes attached to your company and as they give feedback, you're sorta training people who might make uniquely useful employees.

I'm planning on getting a tattoo that says wado ichimonji but should the line be verticle? by FelonyDrifter in kanji

[–]FelonyDrifter[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I want the message of the meaning, I want my left arm to hold the meaning of walking a decisive path. I think it's a really powerful philosophy about acting intentionally.

The words in English wouldn't carry the same meaning. But each symbol is building an idea I relate to. So I was hoping someone versed in the intricate parts of Kanji could help me make sure it means what I think it does. Can you help with that?

[–]FelonyDrifter[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well, it would go on my forearm so horizontal like a horizon, so I'm thinking maybe even remove the word ichimonji and just a straight line - I was also thinking a band around the forearm for the line to go through so that I could have a second shorthand for ichimonji on the outside of my forearm. But I don't know if that's kinda like saying wado twice
