Sup. Instead of making multiple posts scattered here and there, I would make a single thread here.
My current story is... Spending 3 years on entrepreneurship, with last half a year trusting another entrepreneur who went out to be scammy and dropped half of our team including me without wage or exit package. Just silently decided to not pay wages.
Hello,
Some of you may remember me, some not, I've been out of TFLF for a year now.
I've learned much more from execution and working 100-120 hours a week for all the 4 years than from any thread from this forum, and I had to learn on my own mistakes and advise from the few around me. I wish that I read this thread 4 years ago.
I'm 21 and down financially, so if you are older, or are well off, the thread doesn't apply to you. However, if you are a young entrepreneur starting a company fresh out of college or you know somebody who is, that's where I was in 4 years ago.
I write out 13...
Honestly? Just want to figure one thing out and do it properly. But also, to not screw up my future life years.
