    Either have startup capital or sacrifice equity?

    that was my point behind the lawyer don't invest millions, drip feed it so the startup is hungry even if the founders is not. That's a viable strategy, if both founders on the same page. Atlassian CEO could find the company but couldn't do the tech and didn't have a tech cofounder, so he paid...

    What do I say to people if the past 3 years I have failed and done nothing else in my life?

    HOT! 
    Be thankful, some people don't even have a slow lane job to reference. Then what do they say? Say to yourself 100 people want my slow lane job, how lucky I am. Now how can I get out so some poor sidewalkers can get my nice slow lane job.

    Either have startup capital or sacrifice equity?

    The vast majority of these startup posts, assume that $40,000 is a lot of money for first time founders to put in, and they don't have a spare $100,000 (first round now I think)let alone a million lying round. If I was investing say 10 million into my own start up, I'd break it down inro roind...

    No they don't look up, MailCheat(Chimp), Atlassian,37 Signals,Automattic etc. MailCheat(Chimp) took no investors and is making revenue of 400,000,000. Just pay cash for employees with the skills you need instead. There are Venture Capatalists who are more than happy to consult for cash, if you think they...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    I did not count but all the doors here plus time neighbouring villages, so in all about 50. I don't think there is enough density to support anything with local customers. Yep, tried Facebook,Instagram, twitter, Iinkedin, I seem to perform worse on those than Google Ads. They are all a...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    Yup, tried door to door, local newspaper, craigslist, Google AdWords. Maybe I should do something like sourcing, find those rare, unusual items for willing buyers. Then I'm adding value through resarch not just Google search, can deploy robots to be constantly looking for items. I dunno...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    I tried that too, my execution sucked, I guess. Though not customers locally, o kept knocking on doors and asking south Africa is an interesting example because they are low density, I tried specialising in laptops but didn't get people willing to post to me. That's actually.part of how I got...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    If you've not yet made $4k in a month, I think you'd have a hard time doing the $20 million deal. I don't say it's impossible. I didn't want to say that because it sounded too much like excuse,But I'm glad you did. "But it does make sense for you personally, as you said, to want to walk...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    I had not learnt that disruption is only for guys with deep pockets. I'm not learning much from the failed ideas discussing them discussing them here might help. I've identified the problem. I'm looking at the too big ideas, not the fastlane ones.

    nope, just don't want it, money isn't everything. Not at all, I have no desire to wander through the German Alps naked, it doesn't mean I think that it is inappropriate or too difficult or I resent those that do, I'd rather have a hot chocolate with a marshmellow and watch the majestic beauty...

    The Majority Of Workers Will Freelance By 2027

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'd have put income predictably and finding work separately. If you can find lots of well paying work but only three months of the year, you might not have income predectiabilty. Investments could give you income predectiabilty but you still might have trouble finding work. I think there...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    The ID is I always eat a bowl of porridge every morning, and always after my exercise routine. What I'm trying to do is apply the same trick to the other three.
