    We actually managed to find a way around it, no cost to us. It actually automates the business a lot more than we were doing it. It is not empirical yet. But sometimes the biggest breakthroughs are right in front of your face. Regardless, it's not a long term company. But it can in fact become...

    Maybe a little controversial - but something that I feel has helped solidify entrepreneurship for me is literally making it a religious pursuit. I like Rabbi Daniel Lapin's book thou shall prosper which helps really tone in this mindset.

    I should also mention, yes. Freedom is the goal of course. But what I am desperately trying to escape is being a "me-too" business. I want to be in a business that is terribly difficult to enter, somewhat boring & scares most people away. In other words, I hate competition. This business is a...

    Good point, I should've not phrased it as a hypergrowth startup It's more just a company with much higher entry barriers, in terms of knowledge and resources needed

    I either succeed or learn.. As long as it's looked at from that angle, I can't lose. I've always wanted to give a go at a hypergrowth startup. If it is truly a horrible and impossible thing, atleast I got it out of my system. I read in "The Unfair Advantage" something along the lines of...

    We have a general idea of what we need to make this new company work. It’s really just tinkering right now, but we have a general idea. The licenses we need to make this work will cost roughly $100k. Building the initial software will also be a cost. Our strategy is to build an MVP for the...

    It's happening.. a realization that the business I'm in currently can make a good living short term, but not a fortune. We face two challenges - 1. If we obtain too many clients, we have a higher chance of breaching legality and facing consequences 2. In 1-2 years there will likely be even...

    I'm not going to lie, it's one of those times right now where I feel a little helpless, depressed, unsure of what direction to move in. For the next month we don't really have a way to push our product out unless we come up with some way (we spent $5k to get what we need built, and it's going...

    Question - how many times have you tried to stop yourself from going on websites that just screw up your entire life because you just can't stop? How many times in your life have you felt like total crap after wasting 2-3 hours watching WWE videos or UFC highlights, or MrBeast brain rot? Cold...

    Well, We'll likely be spending $5k on internal software that allows us to gain more control and scale our infrastructure. Had to invent a creative solution to the problem. The paralegal we hired helped us identify what we can and can't do, all of the laws in each state, and how we can work...
