36 yo Dentist, 2 university degrees, 3 children, +10 ventures failed, ready for 11th!
INTROHI @GianlucaB23 That was a very interesting read indeed. From a reader's perspective (although I could be wrong here) it comes off to me as you have your hands in too many things at once OR you starting something but losing the faith well before you have seen it through. If there's something...- SSTrey

Unexpected Hustle Gone Wrong
SIDE HUSTLEI love this share of yours @10Fold Thanks for being detailed & walking us through this entrepreneurial initiative. I must say, I'm an engineer, & we also had these A4 cheat sheets back on campus over 13 years ago, they were like gold, this was a brilliant idea of yours as I remember it took us...- SSTrey

What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?
GOLD! MINDSET36 now. 1. Read faster:-) 2. Start a SCALABLE & CENTS business instead. 3. Don't buy THAT car. 4. Focus more & increase my urgency. 5. Don't think of buying a house just yet. 6. Use that free bursary money to make more. AND MOST IMPORTANT, 7. Don't listen to all the Slowlaners.- SSTrey

How is dating affecting your business journey?
PEOPLESome great advice here, thanks a lot. Re social media, I agree with 110%. People just fail to understand that nobody really posts bad things happening in their lives (ie. hard times, sucky days, lack of money, love, etc). We only see boss couples travelling the world & being loving to each...- SSTrey

How is dating affecting your business journey?
PEOPLESome great points. With my gf, it's much less (if at all) about everything else you have mentioned. She does know I'm supportive, respected/ful, etc. She also knows I'm a hard worker. For me, TIME is what she often starts an 'argument' about. The truth is this, lack of time is the nature of...- SSTrey

How is dating affecting your business journey?
PEOPLEI often think that many women do love ambitious guys BUT they don't know what PROCESS it takes to be ambitious. I always use Dwayne Johnson as the example. Women love him, great built, rich, successful, etc etc BUT I'm pretty sure his gf/wife doesn't feel the exact same because she has to deal...- SSTrey

PEOPLEI am eager to hear from the forum, what are your challenges with business/start ups/etc whilst having a gf/bf/husband/wife? I am dating currently.

MINDSET RANTHi Fastlaners, I have read TMF & am nearly halfway through Unscripted. Love the information & how @MJ DeMarco you curated the data is amazing. I am struggling with something which I hoped I may get good advice on: --> I continually think about money, & am unsure how to stop. A quick self...- SSTrey

Entrepreneurship that we don't read about in the media
INTROI feel we read tons of books & watch more videos about startups & business. We eventually find a common pattern to success ie. persistence, perseverance, etc. BUT I never ever read about or see the behind the scenes challenges being talked about ie. late nights, lonely days, girlfriend problems...- SSTrey
