- err4nt 10y agoAnother data point: I was forced into it by economic circumstances (bills and no job). Literally EVERYBODY has this option.
- clarry 10y agoI want to become an enterpreneur, but can't afford it. I'm not interested in "make money fast" schemes just for the sake of making money. I have ideas, things I want to try to build, but building my product would not happen overnight no matter how f*ing hard I work. More likely a minimum of anywhere between 6 and 12 months is required before it's feasible to start selling the product, and from there on it could take long before the income becomes a steady livelihood. I don't have the money to pay the bills for that long, I can't afford to become an enterpreneur. BI could change my life overnight.
- randall 10y agoI disagree that you can't afford it. I've learned how that if you can't make a business that's generating 10k / month in 3 months it's probably the wrong market. You could keep iterating through markets until one of them sticks. That's what I'd recommend, anyway.
- clarry 10y agoI'm not saying it's impossible for me to start generating money in 3 months. But merely generating money is not of interest to me. There are certain things I want to build, things I'm interested in, and these aren't things anyone's going to ship in three months starting from scratch.
- err4nt 10y agoTry freelance, or contract work. You can be employed for yourself and making money right away without having to build a product or a business first. That's still running your own business and being an entrepreneur! Switching from salary to contract can be a big stepping stone for creating the career and life you want :D
