    What Are The Worst Mistakes You've Done In Your Entrepreneurial Journey?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    One thing I've learned from Sam Ovens is that we live our life according to our lowest standards. We accept our life as it is when we are aligned with our standards. If the lowest standard you accept is to have "a decent pay" and be able to travel 7 days a year, then you'll never get out of...

    What Are The Worst Mistakes You've Done In Your Entrepreneurial Journey?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'm telling myself the opposite story. I'm spending my teens grinding and trying to reach my goals. It's literally my life mission. An obsession. But how'd you travel without money? And would you be actually motivated to start working in your 30's when you have traveled the world already? What...

    What Are The Worst Mistakes You've Done In Your Entrepreneurial Journey?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Was wondering, what are the worst mistakes you've done during your journey as entrepreneurs? What would you tell your 20 year old selves?

    Focus on one business? Yes, but for how long?

    MINDSET 
    Honestly, from my experience, there's no precise answer. It's more a thing you understand through trial and error than a straight fact. I quit my blog despite the fact I was making money and had 100 users a day visiting it, and I did all this in 4-5 months ranking many posts in the first page...

    Welp - time for another swing at plate

    EXECUTION 
    I failed on stuff in the past, too. Biggest reason? I never sticked to one thing and always quit when didn't receive positive feedback. I then realized most people who succeed in this world are the ones who keep going despite the lack of feedback.

    Hell true. It's all about time, for real. And it's with everything, actually. Thanks a lot. I'll keep this in mind. I've been watching some GaryV videos in the last days and they gave a completely different perspective on what I've been doing for so long. I had this hate towards social media...

    This makes sense. I noticed this, too. It's like creating a "cult", really. It's all about getting people to know and trust you, and only then offer your value proposition.

    Thanks a lot for your input. I'm from Italy. My "competition" are dropshipping/shopify gurus, so honestly it's laughable if we look at it in terms of actual value offered. Nobody really has the attitude everyone strives to have on this forum or really in any successful business community. The...

    Quick update. Published the third video and working on the fourth. Still have no real subscribers besides a few friends of mine. Tried focusing on quality over quantity by making fewer (but longer) quality videos, but it's not giving the expected results yet. Also started publishing content...

    Sam Ovens, Legit?

    GURUS 
    I feel his ads actually harmed his reputation. As I previously said, many people now associate bro-marketing techniques with fake gurus, even if the content offered is actually legit. I watched almost every Sam's video and I swear I haven't found shit like this in years. Not even in books...

    Sam Ovens, Legit?

    GURUS 
    I've been checking Sam Ovens' free content (youtube videos) for the last 2 weeks and damn guys, how the hell can you say he's a fake guru? One thing he has done wrong, is using bro-marketing techniques to sell his products. Actually, it's not wrong. It's just that people in this forum are now...

    How ditching self help has improved my life.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I don't understand guys who say self-help is BS. Self-help is not BS. It's simply not evident in the beginning that's it is actually helping you. James Jani made a video about that, but I'd argue that if he didn't read all those books in the first place, he wouldn't have been able to make these...

    Has Anybody With a Degree in Economics Got Any Value From It?

    HOT! 
    I'm considering of switching to CS. I would have to start from scratch but this thought has been hitting me for months now. I can't see the value of a degree in Economics as an entrepreneur. Maybe it's because I'm at the first year, but damn even if I knew some finance and management (which are...

    I'm not a fan of this strategy to be honest. It would hinder the quality of each video. Wasn't quality > quantity the best strategy? Or are there particular benefits to uploading videos often?

    This all makes sense. The upper potential is decent but definitely not as high as if I had to target an English audience, probably. I have less competition but also a smaller market. I might also do videos on coding, but by seeing the people who currently do that, they are getting very low...

    Thanks for your answer. Full of insights! CPM is very, very low. Can't tell exactly but even for the most popular niche (gaming) it's around $1-2. Why I chose to do it in my native language? I have no idea. I erroneously (or maybe not) assumed that the fact that nobody was doing it was...

    I actually like editing. But as we all know, when feedback is null the dopamine loop is non-existent. But you're right, 2 videos are nothing. My only concern is that most people in my country wouldn't care about this kind of content, but I decided to keep going anyway and see the truth from...

    It's not a struggle making videos when you have an audience. It's a struggle when you have no audience at all.
