    Question About Specialized Labour to find

    IDEA 
    Yes i think i can help someone. I started going door to door yesterday. The first door i stood in front of i felt intense fear and just ran away. I went again and knocked on about 8 doors but no one answered. I'll try again. I also want to try Zachary's idea of reselling old College textbooks

    IDEA 
    That's a very good idea. I'll definitely look into it. Though some regulations in the university might prohibit reselling books. I don't see why not to try.

    Question About Specialized Labour to find

    IDEA 
    To be honest, I'm pretty much a wanderer at this point. I try and set goals, 10 year goals like becoming a Billionaire, leaving a legacy. I also write some "why's" that i think might get me fired up for the day(The carrot) and also situations i want to stay away from(The stick). But eventually i...

    Thank you so much for the tips. This is really helpful. I'll start asking people on those platforms. Going D2D looks scary now. I think it's just the fear of rejection that's holding me back.

    IDEA 
    oh ok, Do you know some specific tips on how i can uncover problems in my area. Should I first inquire or ask people if they have any problems before offering help? And also did the people you helped did they find you or did you have to approach them yourself?
