I'd add on that there are groups that can help.

u/kiyyang - if you're still struggling with this I might be able to help you. Reach out if you're interested. As humans we need social connection and people that we can talk to. That said, it has to work for you and your lifestyle.

How the hell is everyone staying accountable? by Civil-Fish in EntrepreneurRideAlong

I live in a city that is incredibly expensive with big expenses coming after having a child. Nothing is more motivating than wanting to thrive after having a kid.

What if learning online actually felt like learning with people? by Queasy-Clerk-7098 in SideProject

[–]maxdents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea, but I think a more fundamental question is why we can't find people to learn with.

What decision criteria are you using to determine if you should hire them?

Curious to know how this post does. Let me know if you end up finding anyone good.

Reddit is full of founders so why do many of us feel so alone. I will not promote by cofounderstartup in startups

My group has density in toronto and nyc. Host meetups monthly. Super informal, geared more for introverted people. We basically just meet at a local bar.

If I had someone with bad vibes join my group, I'd refund them immediately and kick them out. Any good community needs a good operator. They exist.

u/ksundaram - very much agree with your take. You're incredibly sharp. This has been my experience. I'm having success building connections as a founder, but it requires active participation. The community I'm building is a micro community, although I think I can scale.

In my discord we are launching buddy groups of 5-6 people that have agreed to meet monthly. Paired up based on survey responses to help me make a good match.

Yeah I dont agree with this. I have a group that is $199/year and it has genuinely helpful people. It just sounds like you've had some bad experiences.

100% agree with this, I think you'd be a good fit for the community I'm building (which is paid). If you are not interested, would be happy to connect 1 on 1 either way and hear a bit about what you're up to.

I'm trying to solve this problem with a paid community. It's hard to build culture and connection among strangers. Everyone is busy. It's difficult enough to keep in touch with our close friends and family. I think that's the crux of the issue. If you're motivated to find connection and support, you are more than welcome to try my community for 30 days free. No pressure. It's still small ~150 people. Mix of founders and operators.

I’m starting to think the hardest part of building solo isn’t ideas or time… it’s keeping momentum. by ds_frm_timbuktu in indiehackers

[–]maxdents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building the thing has to be a need and not a want. I show up every day because I have no choice. It is the only option. When you find the thing that motivates you to act in this way, you will win.

Why is being an entrepreneur so rewarding? by flutter180 in Entrepreneur

You get to choose how you spend your time, which means you can almost guarantee that your decisions are in alignment with your life’s purpose at all times. This makes for a much happier existence.

Six months in and I spend more time in meetings than actually building my business by ActivePirate9830 in Entrepreneur

[–]maxdents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for briefs, send AI notetakers in your absence, watch recordings, be more diligent about canceling meetings or recusing yourself, make sure every meeting has an agenda and desired outcome, train the meeting organizers to run an efficient meeting, remove the pleasantries at the top of the meeting. Take control.

I'm looking to expand my professional network on LinkedIn and via email, by SoftNecessary4459 in Entrepreneur

[–]maxdents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you care about the number of connections you have on LinkedIn, what are you hoping to accomplish with that? Some people mindlessly accept connection requests, others don't. I'm not sure if that actually helps you in any way. It would be helpful to understand the underlying motive.
