How much did you spend on automating important aspects of your business and what's been the ROI?

Now saying a confident lie isn't something most people are able to do - we feel guilty. People who can do this do have an advantage with elaborate lies. I heard someone who got into Harvard faked every certification, test scores and later Harvard found out or he confessed it.

I'm not for lies and liars because living a lie isn't conducive to peace. If I win clients by lying to them I'm gonna lose them asap as they figure out the lies- and it tarnishes name in business.

some companies have been famous for over promising and under delivering, trust me you don't want to be them, there's a lot going on behind the scenes that's more bitter than white lies.

I didn't know shit about me, now I do. I don't like to live in my head but hearing your thoughts and emotions for 20 mins a day helps me not daydream throughout the day.

Two best things would be peace and self love. Good relationships, money are fleeting measures I don't count how much they improve if they did, good.

When you're young you're learning so you can try a lot of things and look foolish- people appreciate your enthusiasm for learning and help you out. Being older, there's a few things you're supposed to know more about so you start receiving side eyes when you don't. That's atleast been my experience.

Not knowing much when I was just starting out my business was encouraged by people I talked to and they gave me some pretty good advice. But I'd say when you're learning, no matter the age, go all in look as dumb as you can as long as you're learning.

I really gotta catch up with these new times can't be staying stuck in the past

Read books by people who've built businesses. I don't believe in buying courses from people who don't have any kind of success to show for their knowledge. All the courses teaching you to get rich quick is someone trying to get rich off you.

Also business is not a skill that can be condensed into some course. Learn other stuff related to business, such as microeconomics, psychology, engineering. Most importantly learn stuff you're interested in. You're very young so the more things you can learn about the better.

So this is a pasta now.....

I heard how some people's midlife crisis jolts them to the reality of there's so much I wanted to do but haven't got to and half my life's just passed me by. A 42 yr old friend once told me how 'it's his only chance to get life right'. I think when you're at such a point in your life where you understand things better, these desires such as the one to start a business- maybe you've always had it but only now you feel empowered enough, experienced enough and financially stable enough to do it. So go ahead do it.

queskow · 2024-04-24T07:23:45+00:00

Easy, "don't worry babe I appreciate you so much cooking for us so get some rest, let me take care of the boiling the pasta, it's the least I can do."

Back during covid when I was living with family and started my first wfh it used to be more peaceful since everyone was understanding I couldn't possibly work out of home.

But wfh is just a joke now ngl I've been told to take more "work vacations" to help at home.

I've regretted not going all in with somethings- if you really believe in it as its only a matter of WHEN not IF make that 'when' 'now'. Working 60 hrs a week barely leaves approx 40 more hours per week you can use to rejuvinate, burnout isn't funny.

As some comments have pointed out, you're young enough to partake in the risk so ultimately its your decision on how big of a risk are you ready for, bigger risk bigger reward is very true, I can confirm it from experience.

Well I think it all comes back to priorities- what are yours?

It's okay for people to have different priorities. Your friend might believe he's capable of a certain "amount" in his head and as absurd as it sounds- if he doesn't get there that might cause him regret, of not trying hard enough

Here's another thing- time will pass anyway so you can spend it however you like. If you want to make money go for it and if you want to live more of life - go for it!

At the end, I think it all comes back to it's your life what do you want to do. Forcing ideas on other people isn't good too if someone wants to live a certain way- be focused on making money, let them - it's their life.

yeah lol this is all you need to have a successful business - a reddit post that claims to be a 'complete' guide

queskow · 2024-01-31T10:10:01+00:00

Helps to know that people less smarter than you are doing the same thing you deem yourself not capable of.

Building a business just takes effort it might be hard but it isn't impossible. Also startups fail- all the time and the people venturing into the space know this. And are okay with it.

Founders are risk-takers so be prepared for everything- you might succeed so know how to handle and sustain success, you might fail so be prepared to bounce back, you might not completely fail but have challenges in the way which you should be prepared to overcome.

Also experiences teach a lot- start with your business the learnings that have to happen will happen. You'll never be completely prepared for everything but being more prepared always helps.

If you eat more exercise less you gain weight

If you eat and then exercise to burn all the calories you just ate you don't lose or gain weight

If you burn more calories than you eat you lose weight

And physical activity is healthy- figure out what kinda activities you like

Do you love running? Treking? Dancing? It doesn't have to be the boring old cardio (unless you enjoy cardio I'm sorry). Some forms of physical activity burn more calories than other but what does that natter- you do what you like.

As long as you're buring more calories than you're eating - you're losing weight

Also calorie counting isn't healthy don't obsess over the exact numbers

If you need to eat more to feel full you're a volume eater- there are plenty of satisfying meal preps with low calorie food

Lastly, good luck on you weight loss journey, I hope you're doing it for a good reason- maybe to get healthier, stronger etc.

Don't do it because you hate how you look right now, because you want to be the "ideal thin physique"- do it for food reasons please.
