    Constantly Surrounded by Self-employed Individuals

    MINDSET 
    I posted this thread about 10 years ago. Kind of funny to see how my mindset has changed from 10 years ago. This is how I would respond to my 27-year-old self: Many passive businesses start out self-employed. Look at FB--it started with a vision and a couple programmers before turning into...

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    Coming from personal experience, money does buy happiness. I've talked about my partner's and my experience about putting everything we had in the crypto market. (Yes, I already know not the best course of action. We have already been emotionally attacked by many people we talked to so no...

    What’s your 1/5/10 Year Planasy?

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for taking the time reading my thread. I listed the novel as: Complete 1 fictional book and publish it on year 1. I think I had too many things listed; I got overwhelmed with everything. That's why I picked 1 thing only to work on. I haven't had time to look into Jared Wesley, but...

    What’s your 1/5/10 Year Planasy?

    EXECUTION 
    Here is my update for the year. Unfortunately, the first year didn't go according to plan. I am still working on writing the novel; however, on the positive side--the novel should be fully written by June or July 2023. More positive news, it's not animation; however it is a step in the right...

    What’s your worst Desert Moment and where are you in the process?

    MINDSET 
    While I appreciate the feedback of those who posted their own desert moments to this thread, this post was not intended to be focused on me. The intention of spilling my desert moment timeline was to give a model so that others could see my example of how I got to this point, and with the goal...

    Thanks so much Amy! Good point. I can definitely use them to my advantage. Sorry for ranting and raving. Your post has influenced my mindset; all of the self-employed people I know are pros in their field. Many of them have been around for 10-15 years. Thanks :)

    Constantly Surrounded by Self-employed Individuals

    MINDSET 
    Anyone else have the problem of being surrounded by self-employed business owners? I just can’t get away from them. My goal is to create a passive business—not be a slave to my business. I think many self-employed individuals DO NOT comprehend testing a business before executing it...

    I forgot the mention--I think of building the deck as businesses. I have heard it takes about 10 tries to create a successful business. (Someone correct me if I said that wrong!) I am on my 3rd deck right now with a lot more to learn about business. I am finding that business is extremely...

    Feel like I'm going to hit rock bottom

    MINDSET 
    Sorry if this is long. I will do my best to keep it short. I just got out of a depression. What got me out? Giving myself time to go through that stage and having a plan. I tend to go through depressions when I do not have a business plan in mind. I tend to focus on my failures after a...

    I may misunderstand what you have said--fyi. Please correct me if I misinterpreted. I think this is an awesome idea, but one thing keeps nagging me. Your actual results may be stunted since you don't want to go "all in." To be completely honest, I want to follow a process that is all in...
