Confession Time: I Can't Do it Alone Anymore...

[TheWiseGuy]

What I admire the most about @Kak (who’s lately less prominent here, but used to have a radio show - I recommend you look him up)… is that he wasn’t afraid to go BIG. He tried to start a billion dollar company.

Too many people are afraid to go big. Too many settle for a little small sliver of what they could become only because they think they can’t.

I don’t know your situation so don’t read this as me telling you what do to do. I’d never tell anyone what to do. But I am highlighting a common error many make.

@Kak did not succeed, he did not become an overnight 20 year old billionaire. But the lessons he learned put him head and shoulders above everyone who never even tried. There is something to be said about that.

Good luck to you in 2026! Hope you crush it.

Absolutely agree.

Heck, the name of my progress thread is: "Failure is an Asset".

These big, obscure business ideas can bloom when I've matured. I'm a solopreneur, cut off from income, and trying to introduce new and complex things to the market.

Not a great recipe (for now).

I've always loved this quote from Donald Trump, to paraphrase him:

"Never, ever quit. You can't quit. Now, that doesn't mean to be hard-headed either; you gotta be flexible. Instead of going through the wall, can you go around it? Under it?"

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2026, my friend!
