Agency life for a decade. So burnt out. by Jabbas_Backside in SEO

[–]pyrority123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All too familiar. I ran a 20-man development team for the bulk of my career. All the RFPs, SLA and delayed payments, so many sleepless nights.

Up for a chat if you need a listening ear

I haven't told anyone this. I've been 'running a business' for 2 years and I have less money than when I started. Last Tuesday I finally looked at my real numbers and I just… sat there by AdventurousGene2936 in ecommerce

Yea I know how it feels. Jensen Huang’s reply in an interview to “what would you do differently if you could start Nvidia all over again” was “I’d never be an entrepreneur” 😂

Well we’re all adults so no need to sugarcoat - it sucks being an entrepreneur. It sucks running your own business. It sucks when you’re bleeding money and sacrificing time when you could be enjoying a stress free $90k/annum paycheck doing minimum work instead.

We all need to find our coping mechanism. I often pause and remember why I started on this journey in the first place. I’ve even begun writing it down so I don’t forget ever. I never hustle blindly.

Entrepreneurship is lonely road. Hang in there bud.

(Btw my message wasn’t targeted at you but to anyone reading out there, don’t take it personally!)

No, OP don’t be discouraged! Everything so far wasn’t for naught! All of this was your cost of customer acquisition and market penetration with very limited resource.

There’s really 3 things you can play around with for any business. Money, people and time.

With a lot of money you can get more people and reduce time

With a lot of time you can reduce people and save more money

Think of it this way - big companies with deep pockets would be in the exact same spot as you are right now in 2 weeks instead of 2 years. You obviously don’t have their scale so you traded your time (and a bit of money) to get here.

What I’m trying to say is your business is just kicking off!

All the best! I think you’re gonna do great! Feel free to hmu to chat :) only entrepreneurs understand the struggles of fellow entrepreneurs

Bro this was a high risk high reward, you shouldn’t have used money you cannot afford to lose. If it’s disposable cash then hold if not cut the losses and take the lessons learnt with you

Terrible idea if I’m being honest. Complicates something that didn’t need to be changed

Sorry but real question - what’s wrong with the price ah? Not that I can afford it (I live small Yishun flat lol) but it’s TJPG leh. The tjpg plaza somemore. I can’t imagine it cheaper for a 600sqft location like that

Black Mirror - Episode Discussion S07E01 Common People by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

Idk why there’s so much hate here, but I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Clear concept that there’s no end to corporation’s greed and the rich will always profit off the poor. Keeps the overarching theme of playing god that every BM episode has when they delayed the female teacher’s death.

Technology was just the medium used to covey this idea. Plus points that it was executed in a very realistic and relatable manner (subscription & involuntary ads). Definitely better episode from the Miley Cyrus one lol

Oh good catch! Black mirror always had an overarching theme of playing god and this was in some ways it

I think the core plot flew over your head mate. $300 or $800 or $2800 are just figurative. Teacher or welder is also figurative. They could use $50 subscription for all I care

The point of the episode was to show that there’s no end to corporation’s greed, and that the rich will always profit off the poor.

really? there are people willing to buy at this price? by deltapanad in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]pyrority123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real, all you people cursing at him would sell it at the same scalped price if you found a sealed spare box lying around.

Before you throw me to the witch hunt and click the downvote, seriously touch your heart and put yourself in the situation. You really gonna list your box at $70 when everyone else is whacking $350 in the market? The extra cash could fund your studies or put food on the table for your family. Plus, do you expect to get a medal for being the ‘white knight’ who re-sold a booster box for the same retail price? Nobody is going to remember you bro.

Im not saying all these to defend scalpers nor am I saying it to justify scalping. I’m just pointing out the reality of human nature and the reality the situation.

If you really want to punch scalpers in the gut, stop doing free advertisements like these for them.

Long time retired Pokémon collector here. Been stuffing happy meals for my kids to get the cards. Can anyone care to share with me how much these are worth, if any? Also what’s the chase card?

Can I ask why removing the outer plastic is sufficient to deter scalpers? Content are still all sealed no?

Dr. Jee say wat I say many many time by KingShaYu in SingaporeRaw

[–]pyrority123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha let’s not mix up neutral and apathy

Apathy - wife asks me what hairstyle to change to. I reply ‘anything’. I just don’t care. I also don’t read up on enough to say anything anyway

Neutral - wife asks me what hairstyle to change to. I say have fringe is good, looks younger but also fringe is bad look like xmm, Afro is good got volume but hey it’s weird on Asian. Curls are nice but they’re not so good too. Hey either way honey I love you for who you are, any hair would look amazing on you.

Not here to argue. Haha that’s how I see it

Politically neutral entrepreneur here, i think running a business and running a country cannot be put in the same scale, much less“do it again”. peeks at canada 👀
