I may disagree with you on some things but this is 100% true.

Why the hell are you here if you at haven't at least tried your hand at entrepreneurship?

Well, I tried my hand in eCom some years back but it flopped time and again, so I gave it up. It could be that some people just

i) lack the 'acumen' of finding out which products are actually in demand and
ii) lack the science of making FB/IG ads work / or the execution ability

In all my tries, I lost a few K each time. So what did I do since then? I park all my money in timed/fixed deposits and I'm getting extra few hundreds a month lol At least I'm not throwing $$$ into the fire like before

On top of my day job + rental income, I'm good for now.

I'm taking a step back, learn some additional skills (3D modeling for product visualization, let's hope AI won't catch up anytime soon and I doubt it will at the current pace), then I'll try going the B2B route.
