Hi guys, been looking for an entrepreneur forum and through the magical power of SEO and Google found this one.
About me: been struggling to win at entrepreneurship for a while now, my work ethic is total shit, life seems like shit, I'm a bit depressed but nonetheless I want to provide value to the world and get out of this nightmarish hellhole my life is in right now.
The older and less well off I've gotten, the more jaded/realistic I've become in recognizing two key truths:
1. Everyone basically wants to be happy and achieve the good life, but not everyone gets there. Truth is, the vast majority of people are living in total shit. For every internet entrepreneur sitting on a beach in Thailand tanning their six pack and sipping a martini next to a gorgeous babe, there's 5000 minimum wage employees around the world getting their face ground in by brutal economic realities like "where's my next meal coming from?" "Will I have enough money to pay this bill?" "Am I safe?" etc. Why do I bring this up? Because it refreshes you back to the reality of my next point...
2. You’re going to have to go through extreme pain/discomfort no matter what. Imagine the pain and discomfort of a German soldier fighting in the winter at Stalingrad or a gulag prisoner stuck in a Siberian death camp. That’s the amount of pain you should be ready to handle in a lifetime. I view life as something where everyone has around the same amount of pain to manage and unlimited pleasure/happiness that can be achieved. You either pay it upfront now by watching 95% of all your business decisions painfully blow up in your face until you learn the 5% of what works so you can live a great life with no limits OR you pay the price PLUS interest on your deathbed after living a life of unhappy mediocrity as you F*cking painfully squirm and agonize “I should of done XYZ but now have no time."
Anyways, see y'all around.
