Starting something you believe in is hard. Just don’t lose the passion with burnout. Yes it’s mentally and physically exhausting yes it’s financially draining yes it takes up all of your time and kills your social life… but once it gets going by itself it gets a lot better.

I had the same issue with my wife until she tried to start her own thing. We fought like cats and dogs because of how much of a wet blanket she was even with my successes. The fights have completely gone away after she tried starting up her own thing and saw how me being positive help so much and when somebody comes in like a stick in the mud that you anticipated being helpful and giving you at least positive advice wasn’t. I don’t hang it over her head, but she and I both know that her negativity took the wind out of my sails. And it’s a shitty way for a partner to be.

I don’t know if it’s possible but tell her to start up her own thing separately from you. You won’t even need to criticize her all you need to do is be supportive like you want somebody to be with you. You don’t know until you know, you know

You need to have a business idea, your brain doesn’t work to make ideas yet. What I did was every single day for a few months I came up with at least three ideas every single day. It doesn’t matter how stupid the idea is, you need three everyday, no matter what. If you do this for a while and look back at your ideas and reflect, you’ll start to realize what you can realistically do and how possible your ideas with your budget and with your time. You need to dig a little into each “good” idea until you hit some walls that make you understand your limitations. Money is pretty often a big one, also know how in the field that you’re interested in. If you don’t know shit about what you’re doing it’s going to be difficult to realize the goal.

Either way you need three ideas every single day, write them down, and soon enough you’ll find one that works.

Stay in school. Youve got a long way to go before actually manifesting this idea. My guess is after youve done all your homework you will be astonished at how unlikely it is to do what you think could be a possibility. This is like asking randoms about what you should do when you hit the lottery. Its just a waste of time until your consistently bring in money

Anybody that has tried to start a business successful or not understands the pain of going through it and anybody that hasn’t been through it completely underestimates it.

If my family members that have been through it were busting my balls I would listen because I knew they would impart some knowledge on me. But if it’s just aunt Meg who attends PTA meetings and lives off the government I I wouldn’t give her a second thought

Im a homebuilder but my original background was in renovations. Do you have all the proper licenses? In my state you’re not allowed to contract work to someone without an equal to or greater license. In any event you can find subs in a lot of different ways but honestly the best way I found is stopping guys in Home Depot or the lumber yard or construction supply stores. I’ve literally rotated through dozens of companies in each trade and once you’ve got the hang of it, it becomes part of your business model. I didn’t even realize how many numbers I have collected but if you type in any trade into the search bar in my contacts dozens of numbers will pop up. It’s the only way to stay afloat if you’re subbing out work

Don’t have ass two things, whole ass one thing
