    Sharing an apartment with other entrepeneurs?

    PEOPLE

    Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.

    NOTABLE! 
    Honestly, If you're doing it for money, that's the wrong mindset. That needs to be a side-result of what you strive to achieve. You actually have to change that mindset and focus on GIVING VALUE. If you check out unscripted, MJ mentioned that "cash/money" does not belong in your vocabulary...

    Had a major FTE two summers ago, My old man was killed in a car accident at the age of 49, Sure he worked but he loved it. He was smart enough to have a lot of income coming in different ways but required a lot of maintenance and he also worked a lot. He had started working towards passive...

    You can take all this criticism, which is for a reason, and improve yourself upon it, or not. Everyone here is trying to help. So either take the advice and actually learn something or keep action faking. People on the forum are harsh for a reason. You can succeed, It is entirely up to you to...

    Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it. Will definitely follow through with it and figure it all out. The product itself will be 4.99 but I am selling it as a package with 3-4 of same products into the package so it'll be sold at $20-$25. I've had some conversations with a few people...

    Ball's rolling, Talking to the lawyer, waiting on packaging, and printing out molds for me to actually manufacture from home, going to let amazon take care of the product for me via FBA, then eventually I'll set up a E-Store when it's justified in cost. I've learned recently of the Win/win...

    So just had a operation on my knee 4 days ago. So within the blurred hazy moments of drugs and sleep I managed to read several solid books on habit forming and self improvement. Working on new goals, adjusting myself and about to pull a major pivot. Now I'm at the point where I'm reading and...

    EXECUTION 
    So I'm in a major funk, some heavy stuff going on in my personal life and it's gotten me down in a lot of aspects of life. I went ahead and ordered a kindle, hoping to pick up tons of books and re-boost my motivation, but I'm afraid it's only time that'll help and I don't want to waste time...
