    Please Help me

    QUESTION 
    Start a business how? You don't know anything at your age. DeMarco drove limousines for many years before he started his limousine business. Doctor is a good profession. It's well known that banks love lending to doctors, and it's a respected and powerful profession. If you had a passion for...

    What Crater of Opportunity Has the Pandemic Made Which Needs Filling?

    IDEA 
    ^ Don't worry, I'm the most automation-centric automation engineer there is. Automation isn't going to put any meaningful amount of people out of a job. It's a complete fiction. Remember people are now getting paid to be masturbation aids on OnlyFans. PewDiePie is worth several tens of millions...

    Any of you guys use slack for your businesses?

    Depends what kind of business you run, for technical businesses it's the gold standard and works very well. You don't need any plugins. Just be sure to have your staff trained in the best ways to use it, like by reading Collaborate with kindness: Consider these etiquette tips in Slack .

    How does reading biographies help you?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They're useful because the person they're about was a human and had 24 hour days, just like you. I figure being 1% of what Rockefeller was will be good enough, and that's about $3B, and that'll do.

    If you love cold calling…no reason you can’t be a millionaire in a few years…

    HOT! IDEA 
    My experience: (a) cold calling is roughly on par with going to the dentist, (b) it doesn't feel too bad after a few of your favorite beers. Disclaimer: I don't recommend alcoholism as a path to easy cold calling.

    How does a culture survive when a whole generation refuses to work?

    MINDSET 
    Good thread, something I've both felt a part of in the past and think of a lot. I think it comes down to pain. Without pain, there is no motivation. Dentists make most of their money this way. People only show up once their mouth is in too much pain not to, and then they get the big bucks out...

    SW Development Apprentice Here, Trying Real Hard

    INTRO 
    Walk before you run. First you need to get to mid-level dev as fast as possible, and then get a remote job as fast as possible. That will relieve you of a lot of the time and energy sapping. The unspoken truth is that almost nobody succeeds in their side hustle, and definitely not juniors with...

    Why are people so lazy nowadays? Is it a generation thing?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    It's just necessity. Most people won't do things unless they have to.

    The Ukraine War, implications, outcome?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Dunno man, know any western leaders with the guts to press the button? Biden & co would be grumbling disapprovingly and talking about sanctions with their tanks parked on his lawn. The only language conquerors understand is "if you invade, at least one of us will die" from someone believable.

    Help me please, what i have to do?

    IDEA 
    I'm more than twice your age, and I've spent my whole adult life studying and observing this exact topic, and paying attention to every winner and loser I met and how they got that way. What are the odds you're right and I'm wrong? Note that you didn't respond to the bootcamp option (which...

    Help me please, what i have to do?

    IDEA 
    We KNOW the studies are useless and outdated. I've already described that. The value is you've proven you'll be a good boy. You'll sit in the office and do as you're told for the company or the bureau, rather than do what you want to do, and in exchange they'll pay you a salary. With that...

    Where can I sell code online?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    The statistics on that business model are extremely clear: almost no publishers make any money. Like sub-5%. Publishers who make big money are sub 1%. Don't waste your time. Secondly, on capital for a bigger business, it is almost universally VC funded startups. I've met several retired-early...

    Help me please, what i have to do?

    IDEA 
    You're not reading; I've already explained. You don't want to hear it, you have your own personal reasons you want to rebel and do whatever you want, and so on, which may be perfectly understandable. But it's important you at least have a think about alternative viewpoints, remembering that...

    Coding advice

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You're coming at all your new questions very superficially and generally. First you've asked the forum for good Udemy courses on business. Next you've asked entrepreneurs what skills have helped them. Now you're asking about learning to code. You're floundering around. This is the wrong way to...

    Help me please, what i have to do?

    IDEA 
    She's reasonable to the extent you don't have a better idea, which I imagine you don't. And at 17 you're very unlikely to have better ideas, period. You certainly haven't mentioned any here have you? What she's doing is risk management. The fact of the matter is that university degrees do...
