It sounds like you're anticipating happiness to come from external factors. Just so you know, it never will. It's only inside yourself that you'll find it. Then once you do, everything external becomes play - your business, the risks you take, the challenges you face. You become so stable internally, that no matter what storm is raging outside, inside you're at ease.
Check out some books by Thich Nhat Hanh.
You're already doing great. Good luck.
This reply is dead on.
In 1999, I sold my first business for $3M and "retired" at 29. It was awful! I was completely unhappy and lost.
After a few weeks, my family came to me and encouraged me to find something to do outside of the house.
I focused on my mental health and why money was never going to make me happy.
Over the 10 years I built and sold 3 more businesses and retired at 40.
I have spent the last 14 years mentoring and investing in other small businesses and real estate. Now I am incredibly happy!
Hey Beeper! I know you probably get a lot of these messages but thought I'd give it a shot - I recently left a corporate CPA job and working through a business venture. Could I ask you for advice on how I should be spending my time?
Thanks in advance!
Hey I am building an AI startup and I am almost done with MVP. I am seeking mentorship as I have doubts about fundraising. It would mean a lot if we can connect
Unfortunately I'm all booked up. Best of luck
That is totally understandable sir but all I want are your 9.5 minutes of undivided attention and I don't expect anything. Would mean the world to me if I can get 9.5 minutes of your time!
Fair enough, send me a DM and lets set up a time to chat. I'm in Virginia.
Sure, dming you
That's encouraging ty I'm jist getting started
26 here, many failed businesses, do you have any resources that I can learn from please ?
I don't have any resources to share. Post your questions on this subreddit and you will get lots of help.
