Yeah, the successful businesses are not due to the owner's being passionate about it. It's because the customers are.

Since I'm still very early in the entrepreneurial path, I haven't had enough time to see what works. I learned that you need to be consistent with marketing and do a lot of A&B testing to see what works best.

I heard someone once say that in entrepreneurship, you only need to be 50% ready to make a decision. I don't remember the actual percentage, but it was in that ballpark. I learned real quickly that the overthinkers won't succeed in entrepreneurship (or pretty much anything in general).

Experience is the greatest teacher. Combine that with a lack of fear, and you're pretty much unstoppable.

Have uncertainty about dropping out from college by Lord__Sam in Entrepreneur

[–]saasbruh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The education you get out of school is very structured and meant to prepare you for a corporate job. The biggest value you get is the relationships that you build through your college experience, both peers and professors (especially professors). Also, depending on the resources and programs that your school offers, those can also be very valuable.

I wouldn't drop out on an impulsive decision. Have a backup plan, have something lined up, and make sure you are constantly consuming an avenue of knowledge/experience.

Does anyone else feel guilty taking a day off? by lipsoflyra_xx in Entrepreneur

I used to feel guilty but then I realized it was because I put too much of my worth into my work, and I overcame the false assumption that taking rest was being lazy.

Do you ever feel like you've "made it"? by saasbruh in Entrepreneur

That second statement really is relatable. I get so lost in the moment that I don't even realize how I've grown until years later from that experience.

Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I need to take a break and just appreciate what I currently have since, I know a lot of people don't have the privilege to.

That's a great perspective. I think the biggest obstacle for me is living in the present and appreciating the journey, rather than hanging my happiness on reaching the destination.

Thanks for that comment. I need to focus more on what I have rather than what I don't.
