I’m stuck in life for years and YEARS… and I’m lost, and I have no idea what I should do and where to start… I just want to become rich and change my whole life… I guess the only way of doing that is through entrepreneurship but… I’m dumb, I have no skills, and I have no idea what should I do… any advice? I really need help at this point

    I highly recommend you learn how to use ChatGPT. Their latest updates have made far more usable and useful for anybody. You don’t need to code. I don’t code. It’s a tool that will give you a diverse range of skills overnight, and it will broaden your options moving forward.

    You said you don’t have skills, but i’m sure you do. You just don’t see your potential. ChatGPT is easy to learn. If you can send a message in Reddit, you can use ChatGPT.

    That is a must, not a maybe. It doesn’t matter your opinion on that either because Ai will be as commonplace as computers, so if you learn how to use the tool, you can quickly get ahead of a lot of people, including anyone who wants to be a luddite.

    It’s important that you don’t dwell on what you don’t know. Don’t beat yourself. Don’t be hard on yourself. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to make a decision to focus on learning and drop any ideas you have about your limitations.

    When you approach life as something that you want to learn how to thrive in, it can give you purpose and motivate you to slowly climb this game that you have been underperforming in. Nobody ever taught us the rules of life.

    We were born on some random day, and our parents basically tossed us in a metaphorical football game without ever explaining the rules. You will never win a football game without knowing the rules.

    So, master Ai. Buy the pro/plus version if you can afford it. This is your most important tool-- it can create a website for you, write all the articles, write all your emails, help you brainstorm business ideas for your exact situation and give you good advice based on who you are.

    It can make short movies, make music, create graphics for a marketing campaign, create an original marketing campaign, build you apps that work, and on and on it goes! If it i on a computer, it can do it.

    I recommend you learn how to do keyword research as it will tell you how big any market is in any country or globally. I personally like keywords Finder because it’s the easiest to use, and they have a good eating system, instantly telling you how competitive a specific market is.

    It is made by “Mangools.” Make sure you are in the right place because other brands use the same name, and they show up beside it. It goes by “KW Finder” by Mangools." Yes, it costs money, $20 to $50 /mth.

    The reason this is essential is that it will give you the data you need in order to determine if a market is big enough for you to make money. This is a must, and it will also allow you to discover markets you never would have considered. For example, you should explore obscure markets to find out how many people per month search for specific keywords, like: Best birdcage for backyard, I feel tired, fun christmas gifts for 25 year olds…

    There are a lot of indepth tutorials on YouTube. Start watching.

    In a perfect world, you find some type of business at the intersection where you have a genuine interest and curiosity but also intersect with a big enough market where you can make money. There’s no point in pursuing an idea in a market that only 120 people actively search for each month.

    As a good scientist does, follow the data. If you follow the data, you’ll find the right opportunity for you to pursue. I would recommend you simply learn how keyword tools work and then start searching. The entire world will begin to open up.

    Take notes or save results or copy-paste them into a spreadsheet. If you think you found a potentially good market, write down the keyword with its search volume—even if you have no intention of doing anything on that market. Over time, you will be a master at evaluating markets. One step at a time.

    You need to start ASAP. You need some momentum, and the act of doing what I suggested will have you slowly feeling empowered because you will be actively taking action toward a worthwhile goal.

    Get ideas from chatGPT. Maybe find a prompr or simply ask it to write you a prompt to learn about who you are today, find your blindspots, find what your ideal life, etc.

    You need to know the truth so you can start where you are but never be trapped by it. Life is a process. No matter where you are, just focus on “what can i do today to move my life in the direction of my ideal life?” Every day, always, when you feel stuck, ask yourself: " Don’t worry about the future. What can I do right now to help me learn and actively move me forward toward the life I want?"

    You need to fill your mind with good ideas, with voices of people who see the good in you. I don’t believe in pretending life is good when it isn’t. Be honest with yourself and use your frustration and anger as fuel to take tangible action.

    Good luck. If you have any specific questions, let me know. I have nothing but good intentions in writing this.

    Oh, and read books on decision making, logic, and problem solving. If you can’t reason, you can’t make good decisions.

    Get a skill or remain broke. If you think entrepreneurship is just a whole bunch of people with no skills making money, you’re dead wrong.

    Get a job, develop a skill, once confident, provide your new found skill to other people. Once you’ve got some money rolling in, leave the job.

    Also, if you want to succeed, you need to learn to figure things out for yourself. That means doing your own research and finding answers.if you can’t do that, I’m 99% certain you will remain broke as an entrepreneur.

      If you think entrepreneurship is just a whole bunch of people with no skills making money, you’re dead wrong.

      I’ve both met and heard about far too many 18 year old life coaches and the like doing far better than would be expected to fully agree with this. Yes, having skills helps but sometimes being a master bullshitter and con artist can move mountains.

    Start by getting a job. cover your base costs. upskill by learning on the job

    start to speak to ppl and find areas of interest, educate yourself on the nuances

    find others working on the same problems

    find a part of a problem thats significantly meaningful and that you are passionate, dig into that - maybe you’ll develop a startup to solve that problem.

    above this, learn as much as you can about business finance and operating a business.

    learn, grow. its a marathon, not a sprint.

    Don’t forget lazy too. You’re lazy. Look at this post. “I wanna be rich and but idk shit blah blah blah”.

    Getting rich has NEVER been easier with all the LIMITLESS resources on the internet.

    Go educate yourself and learn a skill. That’s how you get rich.

    Agree with the above. The more skills you can learn, the more valuable you become. Offering more value means you can gain more money and get better paid jobs. The reason McDonalds doesn’t pay more is because it’s an unskilled job and there is always hundreds of people applying for a job there, so you are replaceable. But if you have skills, it’s hard to replace you. From there you can only go up by gaining experience, commanding greater pay checks. If you save and invest in an asset, like a business or stocks/shares then you make even more money. And if you don’t know where to learn new skills, then Google and YouTube are your friend.

    Make a profile on Upwork, set your rate, and send in proposals. It’s tough at first, but once you lock down a few clients you’ll get momentum.

    Gain a skill. The online market is saturated no matter what skill you choose, but having skills made it easier to make money online if you offer a service using those skills.

    Here are some of the more common ones: programming, sales, digital marketing, SEO, video editing, podcast production, and copywriting.

    I have a weird vibe reading your post, it kinda looks like you want to have money without making any effort.

    First, you need to learn a skill. It could be writing, video editing, music production, graphic design, anything. Then, you should contact clients using a freelancing platform like Upwork for example.

    Good luck!

    You can change your life without becoming rich. There are plenty of other ways to become rich, such as a well-paid job, investing, crypto, trading, etc. Best advice is to get a job and learn some skills. Also, learn some skills on your own time.

    GAIN PURPOSE AND SOLUTION

    To gain money, you need to give a product in this demanding Online space, don’t be negative about not having the skills, you just have a worse starting place, like a fat person trying to gain muscles, need to lose fat, need to gain self-esteem to keep going, and then boom you have muscles, you are just in a worse starting point, but you can keep going, further back in the race, but can keep going and improve.

    MAKE A SOLUTION OR A PRODUCT TO SOMETHING

    Here are some real ones you can do if you put effort into it

    - Advertising accounts : Make accounts of certain topics in need of demand, so go to Youtube shorts, Instagram reels, and make pages and a following for a topic, now you can start trying to approach to advertise, whether online, there are many areas to do that, so lets say technology, you talk about computers, ChatGPT, Software, you can then advertise approach clients with the value you bring, and certain startups can advertise in your area like you can advertise a “ChatGPT app” or etc.

    - Youtube: It is way harder, but just one of the most valuable things you can offer, you can just do some shitty animation like one of those stickmen talking YouTubers talking about “Types of Students” or the youtube degenerocity making videos of relatable content, but if you want to gain actual value make some sort of documentary of something, but live to what you want to do.
