Here’s a list of groups of people I hate (redacted for hate speech so I don’t get banned)

5. Women * who * clap * when * they * talk

So I had a good laugh when I saw this..

Registering a company is not progress

Signing a lease is not progress

Setting up a phone system and booking system is not progress

Building an AI chatbot is not progress

Designing a brand around eco friendly cleaning is not progress

It’s this


It’s jerking off. That’s all.

Progress is getting people to hand you TCHMFC (That Cold Hard Mother F*ckin Cash)

I went to school with a kid who would buy soda from Safeway in boxes and sell it for a buck from his backpack. He is more of an entrepreneur and businessman than these Redditors will ever be.

You need to be a “F*ck it, we ball” type of person if you want to succeed in business.

This type of person, when inspired to start a cleaning company, would post an ad online, send some messages on Facebook groups, and then go outside and knock on some doors, all in that same day. They wouldn’t even have cleaning supplies yet. They would sign people up and buy a mop that night and come clean on a different day.

Always just worry about getting paid. That’s all that matters for now.
