    Advice Needed: How to get over public humiliation?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is standard in the corporate world. You just have to know when to leave, have an in-demand skill set and be able to interview well for whatever comes next. As far as what you can do? Start understanding these things aren't about you, its about them. When I read your original post I don't...

    Finished E-commerce Site. Products almost ready, what can I do in the meantime?

    QUESTION 
    Google Ads would probably target better for a very small niche. In terms of what can you be doing - have you created a following on a platform your audience often visits?

    How to learn to delegate? Who to hire?

    QUESTION 
    I started delegating by outsourcing tasks that are worth less than my hourly rate that provide no long term value. This could be things not related to your business at first. Instacart for groceries, grubhub for lunch/dinner, and hiring an assistant to run errands/clean your place. Then a...

    New job or stay put?

    MINDSET 
    Its good that you're having the self reflection of previous business failures to move you forward. $110k/year should be more than enough to support you unless you're in a HCOL area. Your only real challenge at this point is somehow escaping the golden handcuffs. If your sales and marketing...

    The Only Hope.

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Go door to door and offer to pull weeds, clean windows, or help with literally any outdoor task. You'll make that money in one day and actually learn something from door knocking.

    Panic Attacks & Entrepreneurship (a Blessing In Disguise?)

    MINDSET 
    Anxiety is normal.. full blown panic attacks probably not. Panic attacks definitely need to be addressed immediately. Speaking as someone who had panic attacks 5+ years ago and hasn't had one since, theres usually a much more serious and underlying problem. I'll add the following for ways to...

    Scaling my car detailing business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Great work man! This is going to be an awesome learning experience for you. Having experience previously running a service business, heres a few pieces of advice: 1) yard signs can bring in a lot of money - if you can pay some classmates $10-$15 an hour to put out signs, they can be just as...

    Window Washing | Progress Thread

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Good luck with your journey! You're going to learn a lot through offering a local service. One thing I actually recommend when starting out is to test a few different services.. maybe you can do weed pulling, window cleaning, and another service and see what sells best in your area and...

    Mental Health, Depression, ADD Discussion Thread

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    You should check out the book "the body keeps the score". The book goes into deep detail on how the brain holds on to and continues to (incorrectly) respond to threats long after they've passed. It starts out with war experiences from veterans, but also includes childhood abuse and sexual...

    Scaling a window cleaning company

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Who was the letter from? This sounds like one of those scam companies that immediately sends letters to newly registered businesses/businesses with new online presence.

    Exiting the cubicle farm and taking Web-Design full time

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Have you thought about moving to a monthly only payment model? So starting people off for a website, $0 down and a site built, hosted, and supported for $99-$249/mo? I saw online someone doing a similar business model for web design and having really good luck with it. I think this could work...

    Advice please: First foray into FBA | Doggo miracle cure

    IDEA 
    Like Saad said, and you're already doing start small. Ideally with just one product at a time. I got myself way over my head with FBA trying two items in high quantities instead of just 1 item with a small test batch and the fees + PPC costs (even at a 6x roas) destroyed any chance of being...

    How To Fix Incredibly F**ked Up Sleep Pattern?

    HEALTH 
    I'd strongly recommend looking into Andrew Huberman. But I'd start by taking melatonin closer to when you want to fall asleep, getting 2-15 minutes of natural light immediately around 6-7 am, and if all else fails explore some sleep aids to temporarily help. I've used l-tryptophan with no severe...

    Need some personal advice on a very difficult, unusual question.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree with MJ on this - not to be callous, but it doesn't matter at all. In this specific situation, I wouldn't spend any time at all reaching out to anyone from the family. I may be bit of an outlier and outsider though - I'm the black sheep on both sides of my family. If I was in this...

    what is the best side hustle to start making money immediately?

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    If you really only have 20 dollars to your name, go door to door and offer to pull weeds. Quote the project based off how long you think it'll take and go from there - try and quote to where you get at least $40 an hour when starting out. So for example, if it looks like it will take 3 hours...

    What to eat if you can't cook/fry/boil anything?

    HEALTH 
    How big is your room? I cook a majority of my food with an air fryer - it's quick, easy to clean up, and efficient. If you had to, you could just get a small air fryer, put in your room, and cook stuff in there. Of course you could always do that in the kitchen too, very quickly.

    How to know if there is demand for my service

    IDEA 
    So it sounds like you're pretty dead set on some type of course route. In addition to running FB/Google Ads, I suggest trying to make some YouTube videos for free or some other type of un-paid resource. If you can't attract an audience by giving away your product for free, you're probably...
