    Finally, I cannot afford next month’s due.

    As an update, my current situation is much more promising. While still not having the necessary funds to get by, I've gotten the opportunity of a dear friend to "work with him" in a well-paying commission-based company, meaning working depending on orders coming in. Monday it became a decision...

    Existential Thoughts: Change My Mind

    MINDSET 
    I'm sorry to hear about your uncle's passing. It's never easy to lose a loved one, especially someone who had so much influence on your own life. My deepest condolences. You have gotten through so much already, from what you were able to put in a one-pager on this thread at least. You had all...

    The villa in Turkey sounds very exciting! And that for two months, incredible! It makes sense. Surrounding yourself with encouragements versus promises sounds much more promising to growth and mental well-being! I have been wanting to get into cold calls. A friend recommended me a former...

    To be fair, I've learned completely new legal systems, skills, software and ideas the past months, which took up 95% of the time. It would've been a better decision to get professionals on my side, instead of winging it myself. I totally agree with something holding me back, which corelates...

    The possibility of this kind of thinking becoming a habit does concern me. I understand that there are numerous changes regularly, I’m curious what the most rememberable mental shift you’ve experienced was, given your similar situation. If you had to choose one, would it be related to your...

    My main question is up on the forum! The system is working, which in turn now leaves me with one area left to do; Social Media Marketing, which I have never gotten into before (neither personally, nor for business). Thanks for sharing your story, and congrats on your achievement, it's truly...

    Absolutely. I don't want a bit faster car or a big house. What I've been learning the past few weeks is building a network. Luckily, I've been connecting with local business owners, who I meet on a regular basis! I absolutely agree with the message about time, yet, I am not scared of the...

    Luckily, this is not due to stay motivated to keep going. I'd do nothing different, even if I weren't in this situation. But it is a difference if you "know" you have 3 years to make it work, vs 30 days. In exactly those scenarios, I surprise myself by what I'm able to do, asking myself "What...

    The most important lesson has been setting clear definitions of one's goals, path to achieve them and comparing them with real-time events, reassessing on a general basis. Basically what I am doing on a daily basis. The reason I am here is to join a community of extremely smart people. I'd...

    What is your idea of living frugally in this scenario? My time is only bound to building onto it, not running it. The system stands as is, removing myself will simply decrease the speed of progression. One customer is acquired, fully automated except for providing service! That was one thought...

    I absolutely agree. Yet, being homeless and starving were scenarios in which I was able to make a substantial amount of growth.

    The business I’ve built in the US for the past five months did not yield income. I knew that I am living on loans and a budget. Now is the time to get a job, right? I’ve unfortunately given myself the promise to never get a job again three years back. Inpsired by Grant Cardone’s philosophy...

    From Military Service to Financial Freedom: Embracing Entrepreneurship

    INTRO 
    Great to hear that you are interested in becoming financially free! Do you have a general direction you want to go in? What are your skills outside of the Army, or maybe even what you've learned from the Army? How long will you stay in the Marine Corps?

    Confronting Self-Doubt - Am I Becoming the Person I've Always Feared?

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for sharing, to say this is hard to begin with. While 12 years is a long time, it does not say what you went through, which crazy experiences you've had and how much time, energy and resources you had to begin with in that time. If you truly want something, you can get it, no doubt...

    Current business isn’t CENTS but I don’t want to quit - Momentum paralysis or something else?

    FEEDBACK 
    Congrats on already receiving profits! Mike Rowe's quote "Never follow your passion but always bring it with you." might be a good reference. If you want to stay small with the passion as a business, that is totally fine. If you say the business does not take up much time and you have a lot...
