    21 year old living with parents and going to college - needing advice

    I don't like sharing financials with anyone, because then they start getting on you for whatever they come up with, but it might be a good idea to show them how much your bringing in through your hustling. They will still probably ask you to go to school, and I can't make that choice for you...

    EXECUTION 
    @flyingdev it might be better to track progress on the software, not treat the forum as your time journal bro. Come back and let us know what parts you accomplished without giving anything away. For example: "Finished fixing up the front end of my page with some HTML blah blah blah" That...

    The more I read the dumber I feel

    First of all, I actually don't think that's a bad thing. However I would reframe that, and maybe I'm getting this wrong as well. Don't look at it the way you're looking at it. First of all, maybe you are realizing how little you know. You're right, what are you doing that's different? You...

    A Job Can Literally Kill You

    MINDSET 
    The scary thing about this election wasn't who was elected or who wasn't, it was realizing how many people personally identify their state of well being based on who sits in the white house. That is terrifying.

    Powerful tips for building quick rapport

    PEOPLE 
    I don't really see how lying could help you close a deal, let alone move forward with any relational transaction of sorts. I think you could get just the same effect and keep it real vs trying to close a deal but being dishonest. I get the point of it, but still just sticks out as odd to me...

    Deciding how to split equity amongst co-founders.

    PEOPLE 
    Founders work on things because it is an itch, not because the money is there or not. Dosen't really seem like you are onboard unless certain parameters are met. If it's like that, it's not important enough for you to work on. Y-Combinator would probably reject you. They want people who are...

    How will you start this company if you were clueless?

    MINDSET 
    I think this could be a rough outline 1. Draw up a wireframe, what does it look like, how would it work, what's the software do, what's it written in,etc. 2. If your not technical find a technical partner that is on board with the idea and product. (Although I don't think it's too over the...

    Who can I trust? I need a dedicated team

    Yes but the investors were the founders, they put up the money. Because they knew they were not going to receive money for just the idea. You have to be able to start it off yourself, and grow and add people as needed. But to first do that, you have to actually start. Make a mock up, and...

    Achieving Success by Accepting that Self-Improvement is an Oxymoron

    MINDSET 
    I wouldn't even call that a spiritual process. That's just waking up and realizing you got what it takes. Being shredded isn't what it takes, working hard everyday at the gym is what it takes. The best part is that you can do that right now, and don't need anything from the outside to make...

    MINDSET 
    Well the biggest question to ask is, do you see any value in it? You don't need to be an MD for financial freedom. If you are disliking everything I would stop, even though it seems insane. If you enjoy it, why not continue? I'm in College cause I enjoy it and see value in it. But college...
