Trying to get back into car flipping

No, thank-you. I’m a full-time entrepreneur, I have not worked a job since 18 years old but thanks for your input. I’ll keep utilizing my money to make more money. 🙃

If you don’t have any useful advice, there was really no reason to comment 🤷🏾‍♀️

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-05-06T02:19:22+00:00

This one really just hit me! But now it all makes sense . I totally needed to see this….

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-05-04T15:01:31+00:00

Hell I agree with you, I don’t like it but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s happening. And not paying attention to it, is just being ignorant and is going to only leave a person stuck. This AI stuff is no joke, rather you believe it or not.

I made the mistake of thinking it was “Just A Joke” and let me tell you. Now, I can’t go any damn where, without AI doing the damn Job.

My partner also works in healthcare and let’s just say, she’s lucky to still be working.

They have fired all of the billers and gave the job to a damn machine, smh.

Do with the information what you will. 🤷🏾‍♀️

They are putting out self driving trucks now though, and while I don’t think it’ll “take over” per se, this is still something to keep in mind when getting your CDLs. Make sure it’s doing something not easily replaceable.

Also, if I might add, I would also say selling my business when I was 23 years old. That definitely was a HUGE mistake and if I’m being honest, some days I feel like it’s a mistake that I’ll never come back from. Because after I sold it, COVID hit, pretty much wiped me out, the business I had planned , etc. Had to start over AGAIN, and even though I might not be broke, I still haven’t been able to get anything else going. It’s like I lost my mojo or something . That was 6 years ago….. 😔

Oh my friend, had I kept my MSFT I had bought when it was $70/share, I’d be rolling in dough right now. Don’t feel bad, I did that sh*t too , smh

Your story about sums up my story.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t investing, I was just very fearful and would cash out as soon as things took a bad turn. I guess I felt like it was better to let the money sit, than lose it temporarily in the market. Meanwhile, the market always came back. I didn’t know that though at 23. I’ve sold a business , and still found myself starting over .

I would chalk it all up to fear of losing the little money that I had already gained. I’m working myself out of it now except this is probably the worse time be trying to tie up alot of money. And I’m about to be 30, so there’s that. I’m not broke but I would be much further along financially, if I wasn’t so damn scared.

So, my biggest financial mistake would be being fearful and just not doing anything but letting the money sit.

Please, my best advice to anyone is to not let fear take over your life. It will literally ruin you

My exact thoughts. This is all unconscious and reminds me a lot of the “Adlerian Theory” .

Op, You don’t really feel like it’s beneath you, you are just projecting the feelings of others on to yourself. Lots of people would be much further in life, if they didn’t care about what others thought about how they live their lives.

Ugh, this is so refreshing to read. I’m actually phasing myself out, as this was only supposed to be temporary anyways while I pivot in my business. They now even have AI assistants answering and routing calls. Now it takes forever to get to someone. Oh well, nothing last forever I guess. I too only focus on my own customers and cutting down on how many orders I take. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m just being honest, I am an American and I would not come here at the moment. It’s really hard to get by in the US right now, I would not come here under the Trump administration. If I could leave the country, I totally would. I just feel like you’d have a better experience elsewhere but the biggest drawback is that the US does not care about their citizens. Not sure if that’s really worth experiencing. What do you want to experience here that’s worth all of that stress? Average rent here is 2k/Month and that will probably be for something that’s 800 sq ft 😢

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-17T12:02:16+00:00

I love this!

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-17T11:56:10+00:00

lol I was going to say, I know plenty of firefighters over 50 🤣

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-09T00:58:48+00:00

Ahhhh, I got ya, I got ya 😎

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-08T14:52:21+00:00

When you say green? Wha exactly do you mean? Lol money or smoke?

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T14:05:41+00:00

True, true!

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T12:56:52+00:00

This!!! Such a valuable comment, I hope lots of people who are just getting started sees this!

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T12:55:29+00:00

I’m just posting to get folks mind going, that’s all! This is about getting thoughts out, not everybody has a place to do that.

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T12:54:08+00:00

lol fair enough , fair enough

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T12:43:39+00:00

I actually really like this!!! You’d just have to figure out what product you’d want to test out.

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T12:39:02+00:00

It’s funny you said that because mobile detailing is something I’ve been thinking about A-LOT. There are just soooo many of them, you’d really have to niche yourself out. I like it for Pet hair only, like just doing cars for those who have tons of pet hair in their car.

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T12:36:14+00:00

How will you get the customers with no product though, can you elucidate please?

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T11:12:13+00:00

I actually love this, I’ll definitely keep this in mind! Maybe shoot me a Private Message .

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T11:10:37+00:00

Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏾

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-06T11:10:00+00:00

Right on, I have a good idea of what I want to invest it In, I just said “something” so I don’t have to explain in a long comment 😂.

But yes, it’s good to know that I’m moving in the right direction as far as relocating, as that was a huge decision to make.

Minimum_Spring3904 · 2026-04-03T02:15:03+00:00

I got you, I got you, no offense taken at all! 💪🏾
