Also I thought that taxes were lower for business owners and boy was I wrong!

I plan on starting again next year but I miss it so much because:

1. I was able to work how I wanted and when I wanted with WHO I wanted.

No lousy, stupid coworkers that I can''t get rid of. It was all on me. It was glorious!

3. i didn't make much $ overall but I remember 1 day I made 2 weeks pay in a day and I cried tears of joy.

It wasn't perfect, doing (paperwork sucks 😒)but I still miss it
2/2

@thor

It's a long story but I'll try to make it short:

I made funny/educational videos as a hobby for years .

I found out people pay for videos and decided to start my own LLC selling videos to local businesses.

I was making a decent money but what took me out was:

1. Economic downturn leading to rate cuts, lost clients and painful prospecting.

2. I didn't charge enough to hire help so I was burning out.

3. Realized i was working harder for a fraction of what I made on the job.

"I can do chores but if the whole job is a chore, that's not something that I'm motivated for over time,"

YES! I couldn't agree more.

In my case the job is tolerable but the people are so slow and stupid it really kills my vibe.

@thor That's true.

Personally, I have no interest in whats common. I'm interested in the great and rare.

Right now I'm looking for a new dec as I miss running my bunisess and the people at my job are DUMB AS HELL.

@thor My bad I don't know why I didn't see the full thread when I clicked on the message... Strange

@thor

"The right circumstances for what I want to do never seem to exist. It's frustrating. "

I felt the same way when starting my business. I still don't envy the lucky few who had it easy because they lack the strong character to keep what they got.

My biz just went under and if I was well connected I would have gotten funding to keep it going.

"You don't see many people giving advice on creating the right circumstances,"

True but there are a few if you search long enough

@thor While I agree with you in principle but I don't like the doomer undertone.

The fact that you even thought to write this tells me you are interested in pursuing excellence.

That by default means you can't have an easy life.

There will be noone to hold you hand as you go the road less traveled.

But when you finally make it all the suffering will be worth it.

Easy

My bad I thought this as a standalone post not a response.

Dam I feel dumb lol.

But I agree preschool is just nonsensical and unsanitary for most.

But the cost of living is too high for most to have a stay-at-home wife Ah well

@beardalaxy @HumongusChungus

Can you fil me in I'm kinda lost on the origin of this comment.

But I agree with you women should be at home with the kid teaching them how to read. That's what my mom did for me.

@BHG IMO dad bod means "I already got her so I can let myself go now." Most guys tend to be pretty self-aware about their weight.

And @Stahesh How can you go from being so rational in the last thread to cracking jokes in this one? lol this server is a trip

@redmaple I agree.

I hate how everyone acts so surprised when I say that handicap people are awful drivers.

They really shouldn't be on the road IMO but I don't mind them because its just a couple spaces and after all they're just unlouky people.

War vets risk their lives and sacrifice so I'm ALL FOR them having spaces.

But New and expectant mothers?!

GTFOH These hoes can walk just fine!

PSA to creators:

PLEASE release your content faster!

I promise you the audience doesn't care about any of the small tweaks you make that take forever.

I've spent barely any time on some videos people love and vice versa.

Trust me it's better to just release quickly, get feedback than being in editing hell forever.

You can always remaster it later if you so choose.

@ButtWorldsMan @Stahesh @Tfmonkey @mrhorsetwat

75% of people when fat shamed will resort to crazy things like tapeworm, ozempic, and starving themselves to lose weight because they can' take the shame.

I'm in the best shape of my life riight now but it took years and if someone made fun of my scrawny nerdy ass years ago there's a god change I would have fallen off the wagon

@ButtWorldsMan @Stahesh @Tfmonkey @mrhorsetwat

I see where you're coming from but Hear me out.

One of the things I realized when I trained people is that behavior change is a BITCH and take a while.

You have companies with billions in advertising and shitty food all around you.

Even holidays dedicated to making dentists rich like Halloween.

I'm not saying lie to people and tell them they're 10/10 when they are obose.

But a little compassion and patience goes a long way.

@redmaple @Mongoliabo

LOL I woudn't go that far but honestly IDC because handicap people can't drive for SHIT anyway.

@Stahesh This never gets old lol

@Stahesh @ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey I've been saying for years fat shaming doesn't work but noone wants to hear it

75% of people need positive reinforcement.

25% need negative reinforcement.

But knowing this audience I doubt that'll stop them from calling him fat.
