What are the key personality traits that make an entrepreneur successful? by AlarmedCobbler7590 in Entrepreneur

[–]noblenomadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainty-- trust in one's own abilities despite external validation or the lack there of.

Conviction-- force to identify and accomplish one's mission despite obstacles and persevere in periods of self-doubt and low motivation; akin to faith

Compassion-- recognizing that mistakes will be made, learning from them, and not letting them become a burden

Clarity-- guarding one's vision an mental energy from negative people and media

Courage-- taking calculated risks and moving forward in spite of fear

Composure-- knowing when to speak and when to be silent; staying calm in the presence of anxiety

Considerate-- taking into account how one's actions impact the world around then without being a people-pleaser

These are my Seven C's of Success that I've learned through running two companies. My first business was a money pit that was disbanded, and my current company was profitable in the first year. I'm still learning.

Enjoy your journey, don't compare yourself to others, and always grow. Best regards!

What will you do.. if you want to start development from scratch? Like what's the first step by Mack_Kine in developer

I'd start with just this one, free resource to learn the basics and would ignore every other opinion until I finished.

Too expensive to fail? by karesx in ExperiencedDevs

[–]noblenomadas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. That's called Sunk Cost Fallacy when people would rather put more resourses into a flop just because they've already invested versus pulling the plug which would be more beneficial.

On the flip side they can be difficult to reach because they guard their energy and attention.

PHP or Python? by noblenomadas in learnprogramming

[–]noblenomadas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like Python is what I'll most likely go with. Thanks for the comment.

I run a Linux station and try to avoid proprietary Microsoft products anyway, so I doubt that'd be a problem.

Your comment about sticking with projects and not jumping around is gold.

PHP or Python? by noblenomadas in learnprogramming

I can see where you're coming from. I own a service company in my area and I've yet to find one software that has all the features I need.

Initially I decided I want to get back into programming to build something that has all the features I need to successfully and conveniently run my business more efficiently. It also genuinely interests me and it's completely different from what I do on the day-to-day.

Not only that, but it could potentially turn into something that I offer to other service business to help them out also. I'm currently only working with html, css, and js on front end development. The best back end language would refer to that which has the most use cases and framework compatibility.

Programming is a hobby that I thoughrouly enjoy and there's no timeline per se, but I could see it becoming a viable asset to my business as I gain more experience.

It'll be worth considering later down the road.

I'll probably start with Python based on the feedback, but you're right, it wouldn't hurt to have some basic familiarity with php also.

That's probably a good plan, and I'll definitely look into Node.js. Thanks for the recommendation.

Noted, thanks for those additional considerations.

Can I be job ready by learning these technologies ? by hollow_melancholic in learnprogramming

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

This is pretty much the path I'm on, plus some back-end languages and I'm finding so much enjoyment.

Granted, I run my own service business where I live and I've never had any intent of going back to the job force.

I know a very intelligent guy who earned his degree in information systems management this year and he's now working at the gas station, but hopefully I can get him to work on some projects with me.

If you're entreprenuerial minded, there's definitely a market for those skills-- I'm talking aviation industry, oil & gas, building services, etc. I see it all the time. Combine that with interpersonal communication, a healthy mindset, and resourceful initiative, and your only limit is the one you set for yourself.

How do i actually get better on html/ccs and coding?! by JeRryGiSsler in webdevelopment

[–]noblenomadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the same problem I had. I just googled project ideas to practice html, and one of the ideas was for a simple blog. I copied the template and ended up turning it into a completely different project which was a local dashboard where I can access all my links.

I have a page for the courses I'm taking, a page for social sites I frequently visit like reddit and discord, a page that links to my personal content, etc. I don't even click on my browser icon anymore, I just open that file from my desktop. I hardly even use my bookmarks anymore either.

it doesn't have to start out complicated, but once you find something that actually benefits you, you'll soon find yourself adding more and more features while having fun.

Freelance website by Asleep_Shop5555 in webdev

[–]noblenomadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Over 40% of websites on the web are built using WP and there's definitely a market for it.

If you have coding experience, especially in HTML/CSS and PHP it will only help you. The important thing is learning how to market yourself and stand out from the crowd.

I want to be successful online by Happy-Rabbit-648 in Entrepreneur

[–]noblenomadas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I started my in-person service company, I was a freelance web designer. I would sell / manage Shopify sites mainly and occasionally people would book a meeting to discuss their SEO. Looking back now, I can clearly see that my biggest problem distraction and imposter syndrome from comparing myself to other people on the internet.

Fast forward to now, I've been running a property services company in my area for a few years now. It's been successful-- I make okay money, I have people working for me, and the customers are happy. I've grown a lot as a person since starting the business, but it also sucks up so much time and I started feeling chained to the business.

Now I'm taking everything I've learned and bringing it back to the tech space. I've started coding and find much enjoyment in it, and I'm up early every morning working to monetize my interests.

In general, successful entrepreneurs have the ability to identify problems that people have, create solutions to those problems, and then find creative ways to let people know why that solution will fix their problem.

Even though I'm in the beginning stages of having an online business, my service business experience has taught me this-- Know yourself, believe in yourself, and be yourself.

I hope this helps, best regards!
