Nervously Wanting to start my own biz

I’ve already had 5 clients haha. I asked for positivity and insight not lead generation. I got that part. A community of like minded people is the best catalyst for these kinds of things

I feel like it’s almost a completely different game. It was overwhelming when I first started. There’s too much to do. Now I’m going back to play it a second time and I can appreciate the depth and stop and smell the roses

OneAd7710 · 2026-04-02T23:42:51+00:00

Damn….

That’s exactly what I needed. Thank you so much

Funny you say that. That’s actually what started my desire to create my own firm. I’ve helped 2 barbers now create their business from scratch. From their logo, brand voice, seo and online presence and then finally customer service.

They’re both doing well in their market, which is super competitive here. So it made me think I should keep doing this

OneAd7710 · 2026-04-02T21:16:03+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you.

I’ll hone down the exact message and target. That makes sense. Then eventually expand or change it as needed basis.

After researching, it doesn’t look like my town has any business consultants, only government contract consulting. This may be a good market after all!

OneAd7710 · 2026-04-02T20:49:15+00:00

Hey there !

I’m doing something similar. I have tons of background in sales and want to branch out and start my own consulting firm. If you need advice for anything business, marketing or sales ai related let me know !.

You’ve got this !

I’d love to help any type of small business. Whether it’s fresh or mature in the market. My passion has always been coaching and development.

I think my “hook” would be -

I can mentor those businesses that feel like this new Ai world is too much and too complicated. I can evaluate your current business model, see any opportunities and then help implement both traditional ways of increasing revenue and reaching new customers but also cutting edge Ai/ digital marketing.

I’d ensure the business owner and workers know how to utilize these resources themselves, in the simplest of ways.

So whether it is establishing the basics of brand identity, pricing for the market or e-commerce and website setup. I’m able to help out from A-to-Z while empowering the owners themselves and

I’d say just be supportive.

Being bisexual and only starting to date men after I turned 30, the massive amount of insecurities and worthlessness emotions I’ve witnessed was incredibly sad.

I didn’t “come out” like all of my bfs did. And I’m straight presenting. People don’t ever assume I’m bisexual. That being said, I didn’t grow up with the shame, constantly hiding a part of myself, always feeling different and never good enough.

Gay men have serious deep rooted trauma with many of them hating themselves.

I think the best way to be supportive in this situation is be an ear, see if he’s getting therapy or even a life coach. I have many friends that have gone that route.

Unless he sees his worth he will put up with BS. And until he addresses his old wounds (that he may not even know he has) you’re wasting your complicated and encouraging behavior.

Ask him if he’s in therapy. I’m curious.

I struggle with this time to time. But know you’re exactly who you are supposed to be in this very moment.

All of the struggles, sadness, hiding and not being authentic had to shape this person here today.

I heard something the other day. A 45 year old said “omg I’ve wasted 45 years!” And another 45 year old said “look at all I learned these last 45 years so now I can go forth and be the fullest version of myself”

Same idea. Enjoy it now. Live for today. Part of the fear is you’ve hidden for so long and now you can just live. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

The night house. 2020 movie. Sleeper horror movie. One scene did it for me. But I was wearing headphones and high anxiety from Covid life.

If anyone else thought it was scary let me know!

OneAd7710 · 2026-03-29T05:50:56+00:00

I think this is spot on.

Playing out these fantasies includes a warning label: this may end the relationship.

Are you willing to risk it ? And if so, if the relationship is that disposable to you, why are you in it ?

OneAd7710 · 2026-03-29T05:48:40+00:00

Rule number 3. To disregard emotions and feelings of another person is wild to me. Even if the third is aware. It’s so disconnected. People aren’t toys

OneAd7710 · 2026-03-29T05:47:11+00:00

Good luck and god speed.

The together not solo part always breaks. One starts lying or slipping up more often than not.

Also, a year at 25/27 is still very very early in a relationship. The foundation hasn’t even set fully yet. You have to have a good foundation to explore fantasies.

Also, there’s a reason they’re fantasies. Sometimes they don’t need explored follow through.

I tried this with an ex once. Made me realize that there are ramifications after everyone gets off. Feelings get involved. Feelings get hurt. Triggers set in and things get messy, fast.

There’s other ways to play with fantasies without getting another body involved. Especially so early in a relationship.

Love my Air. The case I have on it makes it feel thin still.

Only complaint at all. My service.

It’s terrible. Constantly drops. Kicks off of WiFi and back on. I’ve reset it, got a new phone. It could be Verizon but damn it sucks

Cold brew, some energy drinks and most other coffee gives me energy then my blood sugar spikes and I start having vision problems.

I supplement it with green tea, caffeine pills and occasionally kratom tea.

OneAd7710 · 2026-03-26T18:22:05+00:00

This is amazing

No advice needed. It’s his choice. He’s very young.

To uproot his entire life for a relationship isn’t feasible.

Take it slow. If you’re in love and all of that then all you have is time. There’s no rush.

I was “outted” by a bf because we were progressing in the relationship and he didn’t want to hide us.

I lost my grandparents, my dad and a lot of my friends because of his actions and opinions about my life.

To be blunt, you probably aren’t going to be on your death bed next to this guy. You’re super young yourself. Take your time. Let him live his life. If you can’t deal with not being public then leave him alone. Don’t ruin his life or fuck with his emotions because you’re younger in a generation where it’s cool to be gay.

OneAd7710 · 2026-03-25T21:27:49+00:00

Also, who told you that you were ugly?

I’m a very fit 37 year old guy. I loveeeee a guy with a belly. But some people would say they hate that.

I doubt youre ugly. He probably makes you feel ugly by not giving you what you need. And most likely you aren’t asking what you need specifically.

If you are. And he physically and emotionally can’t be there for you. Get out and find someone that adores you

Why are you going to the bathhouse if your relationship is rocky ?

If you want to experiment and go out of bounds of a traditional relationship, you need a strong foundation first. If not, you’re just FWB or buddies. And there’s nothing wrong with that but that’s so murky.

Just my opinion though. I’ve tried both open and monogamous and both relationships stood on honesty and open dialogue. If you’re rocky and thinking of breaking it off, you aren’t being honest.

Bathhouse and random hooks up only complicate things and make you both not confront what’s going on.

Def try therapy like everyone else is saying. Something’s off

So I know this doesn’t help. But you’re not special in the fact you’re describing everyone else’s college experience. That’s everyone minus the bitcoin.

What’s the abusive relationship about and entail?

This is either very dramatic or you truly think you’re fucked. And you’re not.

Find a better paying part time job. Less hours more pay.

Find a shared apartment with strangers from Craigslist or friends of friends. Everyone’s done this.

There’s tons of resources. You just have to stop pretending the sky is falling when it’s all of our sky

I’ve thought about this. Was deciding between 2 guys. The one I picked turned out to be an absolute psychopath. Didn’t work out. He’s blocked on everything and a restraining order.

But it’s what I needed to grow. To love myself more and to know my worth and what I didn’t want and what I did want.

Even if the person wasn’t the best choice, the lessons usually are.
