    When doing everything right was wrong

    INTRO 
    Great that you started something already. You now have a basis understanding of what is needed to run a business. Now you just need to find the right way to build this business, or find the right business to build. If your job is stressing you out so much, it seems like you should fix this...

    When doing everything right was wrong

    INTRO 
    You don’t have to walk away. You can build a business next to your day job. You will probably need multiple tries to get a better understanding of what works for you. But with perseverance you will get there. My biggest advise is to look at your own knowledge and skills and apply that your...

    I need to apologize for this. I always thought biophase is the owner of the ForeverJobless blog. After your question I double checked. It turns out it's snowbank who is behind the ForeverJobless blog. Obviously, I should have double checked before posting. About the Family First Entrepreneur...

    I can fully relate to your story. I read TMF over 10 years ago and since that moment I have started and failed multiple business. I may not be the most intelligent, or the strongest leader, but I do have a lot perserverance. So I kept trying. Finally, in Dec-2021 I quit my full time job to put...

    Easier in the USA.

    INTRO 
    It is certainly not "easier" to start a business in the USA. But it is definitely a lot easier to scale a business in the USA than in a smaller country. I'll give an example of my own business: I improve an existing product or develop a new product. Now I need to do all this: Competitor and...

    The dream of owning a house that is (un)realizable

    HOT! INVESTING 
    The depression is the very first thing you have to solve right now. Nothing positive will happen unless you solve this first. My suggestion: start with this amazing book by Michael A. Singer: The Untethered Soul. I will put everything in the right perspective for you. Next, read Mindset by...

    My introduction... I failed and I'm tired

    INTRO 
    Hi Avinash, To me it seems like your introverted personality is holding you back. I would highly suggest you start listining to @Kak radio show (Kyle Keegan Radio Show). He often touches the subject of introvert vs extravert and what you can do to get your voice into the world. It's sad that...

    Is entrepreneurship something you're born with?

    MINDSET 
    This is a great share. I think he's right. Luck definitely plays a role in success. If everything is equal, working hard comes first and luck comes second. You have to work hard to increase your chances of luck.

    Lost all my money. Starting from ground zero

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's good you share your concerns. You are obviously working hard to make this work for you. Meaning you have the perserverance you need for a fastlane business. Now first things first: you beat yourself up too much. Stop that right now before you get burned out. And I mean that as I speak from...

    In my city (The Hague) our municipality places charging stations/poles next to the parking spots in my street. Living in a city where the majority of the people are living in apartments, this is also the only option for charging EV vehicles. Perhaps your municipality has a similar program?

    Yes, you entirely right about this. It also crossed my mind many times how big of a difference there is in home sizes between USA/Canada/Australia and the rest of the world. But I see many advantages for our setup (I'm living in The Netherlands): I can easily reach any part of the city by...

    Who knows what Putin and Xi have been cooking up. Ukraine and Taiwan may be first. What’s their plan after that?

    Where I find a software to find companies with data and contact info?

    I need this too for installation companies in my country. I figured they only way is to buy lists or manually look for them. If somebody knows software, that would be great!

    I actually have one and I don't think it's an issue at all. I don't even notice it. What I do think is a problem though, is the disappointing battery life. I opted for the 14 inch model. Not for the raw power, but for the increased screen estate in a small package. Unfortunately, battery life...

    Thank you! These are the exact same tasks that are a burden on my time as well. It's really valuable that you are sharing your experiences. If you don't mind I have a few more questions: What was the tipping point in terms of profit before you hired your first employee? How did you find your...

    Thank you for sharing your story! Can you tell us on what basis you made your decisions for hiring your first (non-warehousing) employees? I have a similar business + another B2B business and I'm contemplating on hiring an employee to relieve me from the recurring daily tasks which I haven't...

    IDEA 
    If you really think about it, it's all about execution. Many of the insiders have probably seen the idea. But, as far as we now, nobody acted on it. I personally think that is really interesting. Why did nobody execute this idea Sharks are going crazy for? 1. Is it because the (presumed) lack...

    The sentence from Will Smiths' book where he says that he didn't look forward to enjoy a day off with his friends really hit me. And I think this is a very important point in the discussion of chasing big goals versus enjoying life. The problem, at least for me, is with the goals that I have I...
