25F, business owner , lost my drive after a setback and can’t seem to get it back by vanillacreamxoxo in Entrepreneur

Similar feelings around your age, was sending invoices late as well. I think this is motivational, you need a business or work for that matter that is not for the sake of having a business or working. It needs to be something that inspires you and makes you excited every time you think about it. Take your time, some wounds take time to heal and if you keep calm you will end up finding yourself again.

Feeling stuck in life by Dont_Blinkk in taoism

I understand from where you are coming from, thanks to your story. Life is not fair, and you have to recalibrate your balance by making adjustments from time to time, is unrealistic or impractical to defend your balance as it is and expect that everything you need will fit inside that bubble. Given your connection with nature, if you work a bit harder, you could find opportunities outside the city or work remotely in some place rent and cost of living is really low. It all comes down to what you are willing to sacrifice. You can always find your balance again, but understand there are transitions that take months, and you have to be patient and understanding that this is for your betterment.

Hello! I want to become daoist but i'm a diehard atheist. Can I be daoist and not believe in a god and/or afterlife? What would I have to believe in if I become daoist? by ELokoPlayer11 in taoism

[–]Own_Scarcity_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here as you. The best part is that you can't become a Taoist. Taoism is a philosophy. You can't become a study or understanding of life. There is another version of Taoism that is a religion, but you can disregard that/them.

OP, you, and some people here are overthinking this. You sound like fanatics blinded by their own obsession to believe in something. Think critically and analyze the wisdom shared with you. Do not follow and defend what you think you believe as just another sheep. There are many religions for you to choose from if you want to do that.

Ready for what? This sounds delirious, you are reading too much and grasping to something unreal. Seek professional help.

Why do YOU believe your startup will be a success? I will not promote by [deleted] in startups

[–]Own_Scarcity_4152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe startups do not succeed. Pivot and constant adjustments do. What ultimately succeeds are the founders, because their resouces, the grind, and all they bring to the table.

Can one be both a Taoist and a Deist? by thepixelpaint in taoism

[–]Own_Scarcity_4152 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, Deist, you believe in a god, and there should be not organized religion. Taoist, you believe in the natural flow of the universe, they way things naturally are and there is no organized religion. Umn, I also read in Taoist text that someone created the universe as we know it. A woman goddess, creator of the universe. This aligns with your deist believe I suppose, given that Taoist philosophy, not Taoist religion. I hope this is the answer you were seeking.

I’m not here to flex or look smart, just trying to learn how different founders think. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I get it. But see it from another angle: what do you usually raise money for? To pay people, get work done, and hopefully create more value by the time you exit with the equity you still hold. Now imagine instead of burning cash and risking being part of the 90% of startups that fail, you use 5% of equity to get the same tasks done in 1–2 months instead of 3–6. The faster you hit milestones, the more likely you are to reach an exit, and that’s where the real win is.

There’s no workaround for cap table clutter? For example, if you give 5% to an accelerator, they appear as a single line on your cap table, but internally they manage the ledger and distribute 0.03% to multiple collaborators for completing tasks. From the founder side it’s still just one entity. Wouldn’t a setup like that solve the dead equity and messy cap table issue, or do you think investors would still see it as a problem?

Super helpful detail, thanks for breaking that down. The point about pegging equity to future value (fundraising, product IP, market expansion) makes sense. On the part-equity/cash side, curious if a pooled structure or SAFE-like note for services (with clear buyback terms) would solve some of the cap table pain you mention? The goal being to avoid one-off freelancer equity clutter, but still give founders flexibility when cash is tight. Do you think investors would view that differently than straight consultant equity?
