Getting to your goal > achieving your goal. What you’re going thru is pretty common., so you are not alone.

How long ago have you sold the company? And when does the non-compete ends? In what market? Maybe you can re-entree the market from another angle, so that you can build on your previous network and momentum.

Put 60% into savings and/or a safe investment heaven. And use 20% as starting money for your new venture. Identify honestly what made the first comp. successful, and what not.

Why did your previous projects fail? Too afraid to invest?

‘Ofcourse we didn’t invent the wheel. We just made it better. You should know, you use the wheel, try ours before you knock it. Love you’.

I can recommend every CEO to learn the basics of the technicals. So that you can at least follow the convo and to give the signal that you’re not easily taken advantage off.

I cannot could the times that my basic knowledge saved my ass with dev’s who tried to bend me over with out lube.

To find CTO’s; add value in subreddits for example. CTO’s needs Sales/Marketing/Business-minded people and visa versa.

Get used to the new ‘normal’. Its was a special time, and gladly you did well. But now were at 0. Don’t beat yourself up. Stop your mind wandering into the past. Did you had a great time? Nobody is taking that away from you.

And don’t act like new heights are impossible, they are possible, you just didn’t unlock them yet. Good luck.

Mental f*ckery is a part of life. Set new calibrated goals and destroy them.

I’m making an execution/action plan for above mentioned ‘concept’ for another user. If you’re interested DM me.

The whole world is with you bro.

Would be cool if BuddyAI could adjust your first letter to the company and send out letters automatically.

Weekly/Daily notice: BuddyAI saw 15 interesting job listings, and 9 of them were suitable for you. Should i send personalized letters? . (yes automatically O). And then ongoing updates -> Company A has sent you a invite for an appointment -> put in calender etc etc.

‘They are sending money home’, go find a Payment provider who has Infra to send and receive in the needed countries. You only have to be 0.5% cheaper* than the comp. to gain market share. Be pro-active to create communities with whatsapp-groups. *Or easier to use, or in their own language etc etc.

Partner with legal professional to help them every Thursday from 1800-1900 with paperwork as a leadgen for your wa-communities. Now you’ll have a sustainable competitive advantage going forward.

Good luck!

Use bubble.io and make.com for your MVP. Push it to the public to see if your idea has merit. Good luck.

Could you dm me the link.

I just posted this in an other thread:

Learn to adjust Wordpress themes, and find some online logo makers. Get access to a free AI tool (like ChatGPT), get a subscription @ envato elements (15 bucks a month). Go to google maps, look for ugly sites and offer them a new website voor USD 250-500. And a monthly hosting fee of 10 bucks.

Get the know one or two themes in a niche, search for a directory site, and approach those companies for a new site and logo.

Pretty easy and i recommend this route for everyone that is starting with entrepreneurship. You learn how to sell, how to communicate, how to deliver, how to maintain relationships.

Good luck.

Save up for more. That way you create some cushin for mistakes. How does the working group make money in this time? Like the sales crew and the programmers?

Macro economic: you can research what markets are booming post war. So you can invest in those markets.

Record 5 vids and don’t put them out. Just get used to be on film. And watch them to see what you can improve and enjoy the cringe. Don’t take yourself serious, you can also private the links and ask some randoms to critic it. Good luck! You’ve got this.

A lot of guys i see online using Gumroad.

What was his asking price? And what kind of boss is he: nice/charitable/scammy/on the money. Translate his character into your evaluation of the business. If somebody is on the money, and suddenly doesn’t know the numbers, you can reckon that he does this on purpose.

Depends. What for growth rate can you release with your dollar. For example: your CAC is 10% of the one-time sale. A line of debt with <10% interest is fine and can be used to grow. But if you get debt and don’t translate it into direct business, than it could be a problem.

Stop stop stop. To be frank, you’ve ‘only’ made 5k. You do not have disposable income yet. Put the customer data in a AI tool, and ask it what your perfect customer profile is. And double down on that. Its called Pareto effect: 80% of sales comes from 20% of customers. You’re on a roll, keep going and stay focused. Its to early to split your focus. Good luck.

You don’t have time to f*ck around. Get a job @ both. Go balls to the walls and dump the one if this exceeds 100% of the other option. Good luck.

When I feel overwhelmed, i do two things. Go into a floatpod (sensory deprivation tank) or sit in an empty room, doing nothing. To reset my system i need to be bored AF. And the SDT gives me the extra 10% capacity out of my brain if everything feels heavy and or sluggish.

It a bit like: If you go on a fantastic holiday, going back to your regular life seems daunting. Go for a holiday to buttf*ck nowhere and your reg. life seems fantastic. It’s all about recalibration.

You sound ambitious; be careful and be honest with yourself. Good luck.

Where are you located? And you have food, business, recruitment franchises, so its very broad. What kind are you looking for.
