    Have you tried talking to him? You're 18 now and you are still thinking like a little kid, talk to him like an adult and he'll respond like one. Say that you are having these mixed emotions and you're not happy with your course. Tell him of your business plans and say you want to take that...

    Looking for Nonprofit Fundraising Advice

    EXECUTION 
    I worked as a fundraiser for an HIV charity about eight years ago and here are a few things we did to raise money. Specific Programming. This is whereby you come up with a specific program to fund. So for instance, you might want to set up a music studio so the kids can learn about music...

    Where (and how) did you meet your spouse?

    MEETUPS 
    I already knew my wife before we got together, she was part of another group of friends I would see occasionally. A friend invited me to his birthday and in those days we were quite lazy about partying (having partied all over the country and beyond in our 20s!) so I was having second thoughts...

    A marketing idea that I'm scared of

    MARKETING 
    Why scared? Why not excited? That sounds troubling. If the idea is so great, why have you had trouble selling it? This forum is littered with people who thought the market would need something and then found out it didn't (myself included). So make sure this product will sell before you pour...

    Perfect! As I said, a lot of adults will be pleased to see the endeavour of the young, which is why you got the tip. Business owner isn't here is a good objection to get! Because the alternative is the person you ask pretends to be the decision maker and says no. So just ask when they'll be...

    That's awesome, :) it was painful for me too, but a valuable lesson. You know what's funny? As I was walking my dog this afternoon I saw a window cleaner and thought of you! Good luck and keep us posted.

    Let me tell you a story. When I was around your age, maybe a little older 17 or 18, there was a girl that hung out in my group of friends. She was so gorgeous and a really beautiful person on the inside, I was besotted with her. I got butterflies in my stomach when she spoke to me and I used...

    Dude, if a 16 year old kid knocked on my door with a ladder and window washing equipment, I'd give him the job whether my windows needed it or not. Youth gets a bad rap these days, so you'll probably find a lot of customers will have that reaction, there is something really wholesome about...

    Currently at the lowest point of my entrepreneurial life…

    EXECUTION 
    My old sales manager used to say something hat and I would answer, well I'd either have a sale, or be dead. As you can see @Ivan Koretskyy you are getting a lot of tough love, the fact is you are meant to fail the first time. It's easy to think that everyone comes here, reads a few posts...

    I Dropped Out of College and Bought a Porsche. Here’s How.

    FEATURED! 
    Very relatable. I am continually humbled by reading what people do at such a young age. I salute you sir, it took me over 18 years of adulthood before I worked that shit out. Look forward to the next installment.

    Amy, want to turn my love for children into a business

    INTRO 
    What @BizyDad said. Also can you offer something extra/new? Perhaps you do some kind of learning-through-play activities that nobody else offers. Elevate yourself above others and you'll stand out and ultimately make more money.

    Okay, it sounds like you are starting to scale already, but I would say one of the main ways you can scale is by increasing your territory and getting others to work for/with you. How do people make orders at the moment? Do they come directly to you, how did they hear about you? You need to...

    Well done man, the best thing is you are 17 and have it all ahead of you. If you keep this attitude up, keep loving the grind, you'll be all good by the time it comes to making your own way in the world. Keep meditating, keep exercising, keep learning, respect your parents. Go for it!

    Solana's a bit of a weird one, they were loosely linked to FTX (can't remember how, but I think they invested), plus the whole chain seems to be built upon NFTs and Magic Eden. However, the piece of software that's coming out which will stop 3rd party sites being able to circumvent royalties...

    Yes Chinese capital, but also general FUDders from around the world. Also there are many illegal BTC mining ops in China at the mo. Let's see anyway, if it (BTC blowing up) doesn't happen in the first few months, or say first half of next year, I'll consider myself wrong. Possibly the best...

    China isn't doing as well as you seem to think :) They are about to be hit with a multi-trillion mortgage black hole. In summary, the Chinese govt. sanctioned a bunch of property development companies to build houses to sell to China's slowly growing, middle classes. In order to fund this they...
