I'm done

[Deleted74396]

Are you doing anything yet?

And if not, why are you here, @Sebzmaniac? If you're not here to progress, you may as well do something more fun or entertaining at the very least

I’m working 40 hours a week and taking 2 masters classes all the while working on finding my niche. I could quit work and school, but that would be too easy. I “need” to work to pay my bills and I will be done with my masters this summer so that’s the plan while I work at fast lane-ing. Good luck!

Great!

If you'd asked three years ago about grad school I would've laughed in your face. I hadn't even finished the undergrad degree I started in 2007, one of the longest, most agonizing experiences of my life. I'd hopped from one major to another and from school to school searching for the right...

What's stopped you?

I didn't say I've stopped. I'll continue February next year

 

[Sebzmaniac]

You definitely need to put TMF at number 1! I would actually recommend spending the next couple weeks reading it before the new year to put you in the right mindset, before you get back to making a million dollar app.

You could also look into getting book summaries if English isn't your first language or if you're short on time (Blinkist, Snapreads, and Fourminutebooks for example). But I would absolutely read the entirety of TMF and Unscripted before moving onto those others.

I know TMF is number 1, but I said "in the order which I read them". That's the first book I read this year

I've already read the millioniare faslane. Ur saying I should read it again? "Twice"?. How about u? Did u read it twice?

I only did it so I could make a few million dollars but it's taking too much time

Duh... did you actually expect to make a million overnight? You might want to re-read TMF .

 

[Sebzmaniac]

O

Just know that while ur resting, there are others who will be hustling.

Ok, got it

 

[Sebzmaniac]

Reality is cold, and so is entrepreneurship much of the time. You either learn to deal with it, or give up. Only you can make that choice for yourself.

Wow, u make a good point. I'll deal with it

A lot of people keep telling me to read the book twice. And now ur telling me this too? How about u? Have u read it more than once?

 

[Sebzmaniac]

i thought i was gonna make lots of money with my first app too.
it made nothing.

go make ur app already, or admit ur just slacking off being lazy.
at least don't lie to urself and the forum.

To be honest, I'm just lazy. There's no need to start now. How about I wait until the future if things don't really work out

Don’t get too upset about this. Being successful is difficult and thats why most fail.

There is a study done saying most successful people have some sort of mental disorder that give them the ability to push themselves beyond their pain threshold.

Being lazy is normal. Just remind yourself that it is time to stop being normal and get crazy.

Wow, tnx for the encouragement. When I start again, I'll get crazy

Don't know about others, but I've read it more than twice. And still keep reading specific parts of it constantly. Unscripted as well. Would be foolish not to.

It's perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed with all the information at once. Just accept it and those feelings. So it's good to come back later.

Tnx a lot but it's a really long book. "388 pages". Then I have to read unscripted which is "500 pages"? Common!!

I'll give it a try but later next year

 

[WJK]

Okay. So this year, I was learning programming. I wanted to create and app and upload it on playstore and make millions. What I do is that, when I'm learning programming, I read a couple of books on the side. I'm done. What do I mean?

I'm taking a break from all this stuff. It's December and I've decided to cool off. I'm done doing any of that stuff untill late February next year. Before I go, here is the list of all the books I've read this year in the order I've read them and I think they might be helpful to you:

1. Brain Tracy: No excuses

2. Ben Carson: U have a brain

3. Richard Templar: The rules of life ( I abandoned this one but I'll finish it next year)

4. Napolean Hill: Think and grow rich ( I abandoned this one too and never reading it again because it's too long and the Grammer is way too advanced for me)

5 George S. Clason: The richest man in Babylon


6. MJ DeMarco: The millioniare Fast lane

And finally

7. Chris Gardener: The pursuit of Happiness

I hope u find all these books helpful. Good luck.

I listen to audiobooks all the time while I work and while I drive. Your list would take me a week or two to finish. But, those are good books!

 

[Sebzmaniac]

That's true But maybe it's easier first to just jump to the place that you're having most problems with? Both of those books cover so much - mindset, business ideas, marketing etc.

And of course, you "don't have to".

Tnx, I'll do this

Lol, Obama is really old. What year was that picture taken?

 

[Sebzmaniac]

Wow , "a week or two". Millioniare fast lane took me a month. I'm amazed you can read while doing all that stuff.
My problem is, I can't multitask like u do. If I want to read a book I read it without doing anything else and also when I'm alone so that no one can distract me

Somehow this thread reminds me of this:

NOTABLE! - Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.

Just turned 19 today and I don't feel any different. Why? Because that biological birthday means nothing. My true birthday will be the day I don't need to rely on handouts from my parents anymore. Just like John D Rockefeller forever celebrated the day he got his first job and thus his...

Anyways, OP please do the least and revise what you've already learnt. Taking a break for a month or two can bring drastic changes to your motivation, and you might forget what you've already learnt.
So keep revising what you know and good luck for your future plans.

Tnx a lot

Is not all about reading it once or more but reading with understanding.

The event is sweat, but the process is tedious. Cheers! Keep moving forward!

Tnx, I'll keep pushing forward to achieve my goals

 

[Sebzmaniac]

It took me 1.5 years of learning to code in my spare time and making apps to just GET A JOB!
I'm not saying it's gonna be too hard to make millions selling apps on app store/play store but I think youprobably didn't have the right expectations.

Anyway, I also took a break around january just to clear my mind so I understand what you're going through.

Just keep at it. Understand it's probably gonna take some yearsm but also understand those years will fly by like it's nothing.

Tnx a lot for the encouragement. If I keep learning to code, I hope I will spend 1 year like u or even less. With what u've told me, I now believe it's possible. When I resume, I will not stop until I accomplish the event

 

[Sebzmaniac]

Btw, if you ever feel alone, or in need of some more specific advice relating how to learn to code or grow a business with code, there are some youtubers talking about the hustle for ex: Joshua Fluke. He's also the one who got me reading Unscripted in the first place.

Also, some subreddits like: r/cscareerquestions are filled with people learning to code and coders who've made it

Tnx. I'll look into that

 

[Sebzmaniac]

Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. Maybe it’s not for you?

You don’t have to create a business to become financially free.

It seems like motivation may be the issue. If you’re not motivated but disciplined enough, you can still reach financial independence in 7-10 years (or less):

- Get a high paying career or become an excellent salesman
- Work on being as frugal as possible
- Pick an investment vehicle that can achieve high yields, study it and actively invest early on
- Invest at least 50+% of your income (shouldn’t be too hard if you’re being frugal and have a high income) and increase this % as much as possibly as you earn more money and continue to be frugal (no lifestyle creep)

Tnx a lot, but if u read the millioniare fast lane u'll recall that MJ DeMarco has warned us severally about investing ur % of ur income. That is just the "slowlane". Maybe I'll think about it

 

[Sebzmaniac]

The Do Something Principle is the Laziman's Go To Guide To Work Without Working. You will work confortably regardless of your mindset or motivation. No more words needed.

I didn't understand what u said. Is it a name of a book? I'll search for it. Tnx for the encouragement

haha LoL are you kidding.?

Lol, no I'm not

 

[Sebzmaniac]

With all due respect, from what you’ve shared in this thread you have the attitude and action-taking of a sidewalker, so the slowlane may be an upgrade.

The point I was trying to get across is that it doesn’t look like the Fastlane was meant for you. It’s not for everyone and that’s okay.

Ok, tnx

TMF is not a book that a person reads once. This is my textbook for LIFE.

Two weeks ago I needed to make a decision. I picked up TMF and flipped to the section on the Weighted Average Decision Matrix.

It's always within arms reach, because it's not a fiction book.

It's a reference manual for your life.

Wow, tnx. I'm going to read the book again in March

Honestly man, you already know enough. Don't go down the app store path. Use what you know about software dev to land a freelance contract building an MVP for someone else on the cheap. Then, hire someone offshore to do the development and manage them.

Learn how to write copy and sell your service.

If you try to make "millions" by building and launching various mobile apps to consumers, you're almost gambling. You're throwing apps at the wall to see what sticks. Not efficient considering each app will take 6-12 months to build.

Solve a business problem first, then sell it, then (hire someone else to) build the app. Not the other way around. Otherwise you'll get burnt out and quit. Wait, that already happened!

Tnx a lot.

Tnx a lot. The write up was a bit complicated though, but I get the idea. Ur right. This is what I'll do
