    If I can't start a successful business, should I just buy one?

    NOTABLE! 
    Everyone, I have decided it wasn't the question of buying or starting from scratch. I have just been wasting time putsing around in these low value, low impact businesses. Thanks for insight.

    Online businesses are more affordable for a poor sap like me. I mean probably you can afford some $200k+ business, but I can't at this moment. $200k was the low end for offline business. I am not ignoring your advice, it just isn't practical for me. Going that much in debt with a business would...

    Hm...in this day an age, it seems that if you aren't online, you're pretty much irrelevant. Also, I don't see how this will help me getting a non-internet business when my goal is to build a successful internet business at $5k/month. These brick-mortar stores are expensive, like 200k just for a...

    Just so you know, I made the design based on objective sales data, not based on my own intuition because I know its doesn't matter what I like. It only matters if the market likes it. If a shirt has objective data proving sales. Anyways, when I ran the facebook ad. I got a few comments, like...

    I guess I just desire freedom so damn much it causes me to focus on money all the time. I am caged for the majority of the day. I spend most of the day doing things against my will, but gotta make ends meet and have enough money for all my trials or I will be trapped for life. Money is the key...

    But there is no incentive for a Money-Chaser to not care what somebody likes. Even if someone is a money-chaser, there is incentive for him/her to make a good product that provides value because those are the ones that sell and make money. I guess it was for this reason that I never saw money...

    I am actually really aware of this. This is completely Red Ocean. What I have seen of others that got successful is that they normally have an initial success in a Red Ocean type business. Then they use the profits generated from the red ocean business into a blue ocean type. Not sure if you...

    I mean take look at these: All Listings | Ecommerce Websites & Businesses for Sale | Buy and Sell Online Sites These definitely look like money chasing ventures, but they are obviously making sales? I mean technically you can logic it both ways right? Money-Chasing Mentality - You are just...

    The reason I have this mentality is that I have read many case studies. The looked at their products and it might be that I am not their target demographic, but I see nothing of value in their offering let alone a USP. But they are making sales based on my research. So when you tell me that I...

    Tried for 3 years...empty handed still. I gotta accept reality at some point. What am I gonna do, keep trying till I'm 80 years old? I have been stuck in mom's basement because of this. If you read the OP, I mention about having initial data set for facebook pixel and pretty much 80% of tactics...

    I am starting to accept the fact that I just suck at getting a business off the ground. I have tried businesses where I spend months developing a product and run ads and...crickets. I have also tried extremely low investment businesses like T-shirts because I realized how much a waste of time...

    I was saying that was my previous mentality. I don’t think like that anymore. I was saying that was before,when I just got started, I had this superiority against Slowlaners. Took me a while to get over it. Scott Adams book? 12 years though. The point is to build wealth as fast as humanely...

    I am trying to pick my life back together from going deep into entrepreneurship and having nothing to show for it. I don't even know what to say to people I have haven't seen in a while and new people. First step is to start making friends again...but: They ask, so what do you do? All I can...

    What I have been doing for 3 years, all started with me selling my old stuff. But then you run out of inventory. Basic arbitrage is what I did next. Quickly realized that there is no consistency in income and ended up losing money due to not factoring in Race to the bottom. Ran the numbers...
