> So what do you say to someone like me?

Welcome to the club! You are an entrepreneur. It is really hard. Depressingly so sometimes. You are on your own because you can do it!

Learn to sell. Learn what selling is. Find a problem you have. Solve it in a repeatable way. Sell the solution.

Talk to people. What are their problems?

Repeat. Build up multiple cash flows. Software. Real estate. Consulting. Find entrepreneurs near you. Team up.

You can do it. Many people way less capable than you are already have.

Find an existing solution. Solve it better. You don't have to be first. Just be better. You already are.

You can do it. I know you can. Be relentless in the face of overwhelming odds.

You can do it! I did. We did. Everyone you know will think you are crazy. You. Are. Not.

You are wonderful. You make the world a better place. Keep at it!



Ha, this is ridiculously cheery. I feel like I shouldn't need this, but I did. Thank you.


I wanna be like this...but I just don't have the energy and discipline so I have failed before I even began.


we are all born lacking all the things that we currently possess. just because you don't have something right now doesn't mean you can't develop and cultivate it over time. all it takes is being willing to grind and even suffer a little bit if necessary to develop it. i have the same problem myself but im at a crossroads in my life where i just can't sit around being upset with myself for not having the skills and such that i desperately need to live a functional and fulfilling life, so i understand the difficulty. you're not alone. just know that you can do it if you keep on keeping on, i believe in you!
