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!
That's encouraging ty I'm jist getting started
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
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.
