Unless you provide the reasons why you think you can do so, this will be moved to the #Landfill as it is nothing but fantasy, fairyland drivel.

No one here does this.

Everyone here reads non fiction.

If you think you are special because you read a few bestselling non fiction books and stopped playing video games, you are not. These things are normal here. What else you got?

Any reason why you think you will be able to do it?
Didn't you read the original post? He's given up EVERYTHING - all the mass of tasks and responsibilities that a 15-16 year old has.

Seriously though, some detail from the OP might make the posts a little more credible, and stop everyone just taking the mickey. Great to have a goal, now flesh it out a little. And I'm not sure rivalling an existing business is a good goal, focus perhaps a bit more on what you're going to provide, and to whom, not who you're going to rival.

I don't mind the criticism. Honestly I love it, just another person to prove wrong.
I will take your advice, let me change it

Stopping procrastination -> Meditation -> Journaling -> Overtaking amazon, google, and spaceX

Seems like a natural progression, I don't understand why all the naysayers.

Amazon does tons of different work so be more specific.

What are you guys building? How are you building your solution. Are you guys experienced full stack programmers? How will you aquire your first users? What will you do better then Amazon? How will you scale to rival Amazon?

"I am going to give more value than Amazon" doesn't really say much either - in certain fields, I already do that, but you don't want to emulate what I'm doing.

Good, but again concentrate on what you're going to do, not who you can rival / prove wrong / give more value than.

I mean just the website that allows you to sell items. we are planning to have 3 programmers to build the website and the services. What will you do better then Amazon? I don't want to give away that information. We are trying to build a universal website for shopping that is better than Amazon or eBay. I know with the ideas I have currently I will destroy the competition. my intention for this thread was to get a screenshot of MJ DeMarco seeing the post. if there is anyway for me to delete it. ill do it.

Oh I'm sorry! So your reason for wanting to beat Amazon is that you have read a few books and have stopped playing games. Sounds like a solid reason.

And it really ISN'T special that you don't play games as a 15 year old. People were never meant to be exposed to such highly stimulating activities at such a young age. You think it's special because you believe that's what all teenagers are supposed to do. You are a victim to the social norms.

RELAX! kid I never said that's what they are supposed to do that's just what most (15-16 year old) people do. And also I was exposed to a lot of video games. I would sometimes play up to 10 hours a day during weekends. I don't actually think that I am the only person in the world to do this, my younger brother has done it you aswell another person that is younger.

I understand how you feel special by leaving video games alltogether. I did the same a few days ago. When a person leaves a bad habit they see everyone around them engage in, they feel like they are now acting like the 1%. However, just leaving gaming and other habits will not automatically make it so that you are now able to go head-to-head with the biggest corporations on the planet. That needs a lot more work than this.

Why would you make a post with the sole intention of getting a screenshot of MJ reading it?
When training martial arts you get the odd guy who comes in saying he will be a UFC champion before he starts his first class. These guys all have some things in common: zero training, not in great shape, delusional and have never excelled in any other sport. They all quit within a month.

I would imagine the worst part of coaching is having to listen to delusional drivel from jackasses who claim they will take on the world before they lift a finger to do any work.

Your post and lack of any effort to justify your big claims just did the equivalent to MJ.

If OP isnt a troll this post could be a masterclass on the effects of giving participation ribbons to kids in school. Love to see younger kids ambitious but put down the books, go make your first $100 and then make a real progress thread before spamming the forum.
