    Terrified of Failure? Read this ASAP

    GOLD! MINDSET FAILURE 
    This is very true, but I'm working with the assumption that they've already came to these conclusions. To illustrate: Bob is scared of starting a business due to financial risks ⬇️ Bob reads TMF and learns about validating an idea, value skew and all the other goodness. His financial fears...

    How do you feel about using Shopify for your business?

    MARKETING 
    Shopify is the best value IMO. Don't waste time tinkering with WordPress and all this other crap, it's wasted time. I stupidly tried to use Squarespace because I thought it was cheaper, and the whole thing is just some giant upsell. Plus, it's dogshit compared to Shopify. Don't think too...

    Terrified of Failure? Read this ASAP

    GOLD! MINDSET FAILURE 
    The envelope sat atop the kitchen table. The very sight of it turned my bowels to water. I was in high school, and we'd just received our final exam gradings for the semester. I already scrolled the posts on social media—my classmates were rejoicing with their results, some even getting...

    Palantir Discussion Thread

    SAAS / APPS - AI - 
    From my 10 minute research, it does what I'd expect AI and future variations of AI to do. It could be a massive force for good (Stopping mass casualty events before they happen, etc.) However, with the way the world's going? I'm willing to bet this stuff will be used to stamp a boot on our faces.

    Why CENTS is your only holy grail and safety guard in your journey

    ASSERTION 
    Hot take: New entrepreneurs take CENTS too seriously. I'd rather start and learn from something that violates one or two commandments, than start something that validates all commandments but fails due to my own inexperience. I don't want to quote him, but I think MJ said something...

    How to work for 14+ hours a day? Calling the ones who do.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I don't understand the context. Do you want to resemble this person or avoid becoming him? Because from the sounds of it, he's deep in the script. I'm an avid reader too, but this is called: reading for the sake of telling people "I read 3 books in the last 2 weeks!". Books aren't supposed...

    The Revival of My Father's 18 Year Old Invention

    INVESTING PEOPLE QUESTION 
    Update It's been a couple of months, and I wanted to just update the thread (I don't want to be one of those enthusiastic dudes who then dissappear once their vigor evaporates). After about three months of consistently emailing an agent, I eventually got a Google Meets call with him last...

    10 Habits That Separate Rich and Successful Founders From Wannabe Entrepreneurs

    NEWS 
    1. Successful entrepreneurs dream big and set goals The Magic of Thinking Big by Dave Schwartz is a good book to read to dive into this topic. It came naturally to me at an early age, but the vast majority of people are devoid of any big aspirations. 3. They read to learn, not to escape...

    AI entrepoorneur's resume for hospitality jobs

    - AI - 
    All this formatting and tweaking CVs is frivolous for a hospitality job. Don't waste your time. Find a place that's ideally family owned, and have a talk with the manager. Tell him your situation, and if he's clever, he'll realise you'll do a better job than others because your livelihood...

    Preventing school shootings

    HOT! IDEA 
    The right to bear arms trumps any future legisation IMO—so "taxing guns" or outright banning them shouldnt be an option. In saying that, I'm glad it's not my problem to deal with (I'm from Europe). There isn’t really a one-size fits all solution, and if you're trying to cure mental illness...

    Im 15 chasing generational wealth, not supercars or financial freedom but GENERATIONAL wealth.

    IDEA 
    Just remember, dropshipping is usually a shitty business model. But it'll give you some experience without significant risk. Don't expect to make 15k in 6 months lol, bur it'll come when you gain experience and go to better things.

    Im 15 chasing generational wealth, not supercars or financial freedom but GENERATIONAL wealth.

    IDEA 
    This is a very good habit to have, ESPECIALLY given your age. You're 15 brother. Your in the beginning stages—don't overthink it. Honestly? You'd find yourself learning more by creating a dropshipping Shopify store. At your age, at least you'll build a base of: 1) Creating a site that...

    introducing myself ; 20 , already been in the rat race over 5 years and now have my escape plan

    INTRO 
    Welcome, Luke! I say this a lot, and I'm not even being a kiss-up, but TMF is the best business book I've ever read. Nothing has ever came close. I'm 4 years your elder, and I've been an entrepreneur for maybe 1.5-2 years. Let me tell you, it's exhilarating but you're going to make a lot of...

    Validating business ideas, figuring it out

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Not surprised considering it's a cesspit of power hungry basement dwellers. Hate this site. I find Meta has an awful UI, with a whole lot of needless complexity. Want to make a business page? Make a personal account and link it to that, but if you decide to run ads, it's associated with your...

    Need opinions! Landing page feedback

    IDEA 
    In retrospect, this thread is completely embarrassing. Although I'm still not an expert by any means, people: learn from my mistakes. Read through my progress here to learn what NOT to do with a landing page. Not putting myself down, but it goes to show how we all need to make mistakes to...

    His Teenage Side Hustle Made $200 on a Good Night — Now the Business Earns $20 Million a Year: 'Like Having X-Ray Vision'

    NEWS 
    At least this guy isn’t another one of them "I actually didn't plan on making millions, it just kind of happened and surprised me! I wasn't in it for that!" Cool, so why not run a charity? End of rant. Great article that showcases the importance of persistence!
