I posted a thread on a diffirent forum where everyone is anonymous, I asked there "how do I make money online?" and I described my current situation for them.
I wrote that Im 20, I left high school (it was "burn the bridge" move), almost 0 money etc and in return I got pretty huge dose of realism, day to day life and stories, they said Im f***ed, that I should either go back to school or suffer/die because it seems like I dont have any traits required in entrepreneurship, they told me about jobs they have - some people are "drowning in technology" and they like it, some are making 100k/year, some are running familiy businesses, but still looking for a "real job", they finished schools etc.
One person took it that way "I know your type, you're mr big shot trying to do something, when you obviously lack skills"
Anyways, It was a nice eye opener, they actually described world as it when I walk through my small city.
Its easy to get lost in "dream world" when you are browsing fastlane forum dialy.
Here people are talking about their businesses, that they make x,xxx/month, even when some of them are high school dropouts.
Now, I would like to ask, who is right? Can everyone be entrepreneur/live like a human being not worrying about money, or you need that "special trait" to be successful?
It's hard to focus on "providing a value" when all you see is people trying to make money for bread and butter, pay the bills, buy shoes. It's like living in denial.
It's hard to talk about business when you live in small city where on word business people look at you like you're from cosmos.
Im stuck for almost half of a year, I don't think people should suffer from stress/shitty job, but I never met anyone in real life who is not suffering.. all the riches I see are in the internet, maybe sometimes I can get a glance at expensive car parked near the local restaurant.
For half of a year I didnt made more than $15
Have someone "been there" ? How do you overcome such situation?
