What's your excuse for not starting your own business?

>>60542369 (OP)
I only have 300k and I still work full time. Not sure if anything that'd actually be a good return on investment

>>60542369 (OP)
impossible odds just like in the moooooovies hecking wolf of wall street

>>60542369 (OP)
I don't have an excuse beyond my own laziness and lack of Self-discipline. I also make above average money being a wagie retard which is just enough to kill any motivation I have to achieve more and better. I think I may have been genetically or otherwise destined to mediocrity. It is difficult to cope with being a failure stuck in a daily humiliation ritual without the courage and conviction to commit suicide. So I just plod along, waiting for the end.

I could have taken over the family business but I didn't want to have a stroke by 50. Just worked there for a long time and put 70% of my life savings in crypto kek.

>>60542459
Dont worry you'll have an excuse once you realize how much luck and brain power is required.

>>60542369 (OP)
Graduated college and went straight into a full time job which makes it hard to run a business at the same time.
I work on other things in my spare time, so I've looked into it and the laws around it suck.
I can either be a sole proprietorship where I get zero tax advantage and no liability protection, or I have to register a full corporation and it requires so much overhead, every quarter I have to record a meeting for my corporation even if I did nothing, and report taxes and everything, even if I made no revenue.
Shit is retarded just to get started.
I wish it was just like the US where you can just register an LLC and it's as simple as that.
I see retards wonder why my country (canada) don't have any small businesses starting up and taking off when anyone doing something digital has to jump through all these hoops just to get off the ground.

Cause I can't think of an idea that will generate more money than I make today with the skills I have today or could learn in a reasonable time frame.

I feel like I've been ruined by crypto cause it has made it so that logically there isn't really any point trying anymore. I was so, so much more driven in the past it is unreal. I think I have more or less accepted that I'm just one of those people who peak in high school and that is ok I'm still doing very well.

LLCs in the US still have to file and pay taxes quarterly. It's not a completely free lunch.

I've been trying for more than a year now but even knowing what people say about entrepreneurship and how fucking difficult it is, it's still at least 10x more difficult than I thought and it's breaking me psychologically.

>>60542608
How did you hit 1k and 10k NW at 13 and 16? and 200k at 19?
Only kids I knew that had anywhere close to that were doing sketchy blackhat shit online.
Even when I worked a paper route around 12 I was only pulling in $20/month.
>>60542638
Yeah that's fine, they only need to if there's been activity like revenue or expenses, if you register your business then grind away on it for a year you don't have to report anything, there's no additional overhead. Unlike here in leaf land I'd have to have 4 pointless meetings and file taxes 4 times.

Kek

We're all getting fed the same zogslop on X

I filled up my bag with multipack sweets (you could easily get 5 choc bars for £1 then I sold them at 50p each on playground). You could easily make $50 - $100 a week doing this.

Did a paper round as well but that paid fuck all, maybe $15 a week $20 a month is really low. Tbh $1k is probably too low I'd guess I was at $3k just before 14.

Similar story for 16 but swap paper round for supermarket job.

19 was from bitcoin bull run. That was the turning point where it has essentially defined the rest of my life and probably always will. Now I'm in a much stronger place financially but it isn't cause of anything I've actually done as opposed to the godlike performance from 13-19

>>60542369 (OP)
i don't want to bust my ass hustling. i'd rather work in my zero risk high reward wfh tech job with very little effort

>>60542716
Found an article of someone else who did it. He was even better than me by the sounds of things but doing the exact same thing, I remember those dairy milks and lucozades lol.

Damn nice, I knew a kid that was doing something like that for a few weeks but the school found out and shut him down, wild it was that profitable.

Pretty impressive that you got into btc that early to ride it up without blowing it up. Well done.

That's interesting, I imagine it's similar to a wealthy inheritance at that point, where the size of it compounding will almost always outpace what you meaningfully earn and can contribute to your own portfolio.
Pretty cool, congrats. I wish I made the same kind of decisions as you so I could be in that position. I've always wanted to do my own indie gamedev and I do that in my spare time outside work but I keep getting burnt out from being a software dev all day, to working on my own games at night. I got into btc/eth in 2017 but I didn't accumulate nearly enough to hit the retirement numbers that I'd need to comfortably leave my job to chase my passion projects.

kek they shut him down too of course, pretty incredible he just kept doing it at the next school. Guess this kind of opportunity wouldn't exist if they didn't shut people down for doing it.

>>60542923
I kept getting suspended for doing it then expelled at 16. You were not allowed to do it at most schools in uk afaik. I think I was the best one due to consistency, choice, reliability and doing paybacks which inevitably never materialised but lots made money from it.

I remember reading about the 2013 bull run and seeing that through, decided to take a chance and it worked out.

It's exactly that. Even £1 mil in a boring index fund will return £100k. Outside of super niche stuff like Jane street, no job in UK allows you to save this much each year. Regarding your indie gamedev idea it sounds really interesting, obviously it isn't reliable but it's the only way you'll ever really strike it big. Wagecucking just doesn't work you have to do your own thing.

>>60542933
I tried doing it at my new school as well but it didn't work lol, probably because older and could leave building.

Maybe this sounds dumb but I do feel like there is an element of chudism/jealousy from the teachers about someone doing so well outside the system.

Your pic makes me really crave a nice Bang's right now

I need $10,000 and I refuse to sell my crypto until it has significantly increased in value and I can take out a bank loan.
