My lightbulb moment was that I was pushing 32 and life was running away and I was not working towards my goals of starting my own thing. Didn't really have a specific idea but I got started by buying someone else's validated idea and went all in.
- quickthrower2 6y agoNice. Hope that goes well. Any tips on buying an idea that you learned? Did you buy a business with revenue or something very early?
- codegeek 6y agoOh yea. This was 6+ years ago and haven't looked back. At the time, it was hardly a business but technically had like 10 paying customers.
- xcubic 6y agoWhat was your process to find such an opportunity? I actually am 33 and I'm pretty much in the same situation actually.
- codegeek 6y agoHonestly, it was a lucky day when I found a gem on flippa.com as it usually has garbage. But again I got lucky because I look at flippa almost daily even now :). Just a hobby.
- quickthrower2 6y agoHa I’m 40 same boat!
- koolk3ychain 6y agoI'm turning 27 soon and honestly I'm feeling this sneaking up on me. I'm not sure if I'm afraid I'm not improving fast enough or that I don't have the drive to be a founder. Previously, I've basically only worked at growth stage startups except for a brief stint at a FAANG.
