either learn to leverage a skill you already have and figure out a way to get paid off of it, or learn a new skill you can leverage for $ later on.
Don’t be like my mom’s boyfriend and refuse to make money. Entrepreneurship is a strange puzzle, embrace it for the sake of learning how people are “doing business on you” in the rest of life. Investigate an industry you like. Learn how it operates, what factors influence changes, and who the best players in the space are. be curious!
do some ecom or if you’re rly bold learn how to sell irl. I promise it’s not rly that hard, just don’t be afraid of ppl not wanting whatever u got. This project will teach u a lot about urself. Good luck!

I graduated with a degree that i def should’ve applied to grad school with - instead I went right into the workforce and hated where I ended up so I just started to upskill and build a modest portfolio of any kind of work I was skilled at to get a job.
I for sure hit up old friends from college to help me network and find something that fit and it’s paid off - you really do have to light a fire under your own ass and look at people in a very transactional light as far as giving you resources/time/opportunity and be hopeful and perhaps delusional enough for it to work
don’t treat this as a temporary thing, don’t get lost in the sause!

Option 1: Be fucking amazing. Like, top 5% at Yale with a pile of extracurriculars amazing. Find a nonprofit that wants to pay you real money to do good. A few of them do exist.
Option 2: Start your own business. Work hard at it. Convince rich people to invest in you, but don't use that as an excuse to take it easy, you have to build something valuable enough that they give you a million dollars for 10%, rather than $10k for 50%. You should expect to go quite a few years without making any money. And then, eventually, you'll be rich. You might have to sell the business to corporate America... and they might want you to stay on, you'll have to either turn that deal down or negotiate it into something you can manage.
Option 3: Somehow strike it rich in Hollywood. Does that count as corporate america to you?
Option 4: break the law. Steal money, deal drugs. That kind of thing. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE AND I AM NOT YOUR ATTORNEY.
Option 5: Make super rich friends who want to give you money to exist. This doesn't really happen unless you are looking on a sugar baby dating site.

definitely not!
Speaking from personal experience - I went from totally fucking off (working like 10hrs a week) to working as a carpenter for years. Then I got interested in random shit online and made the leap from carpentry to working in marketing/jack of all trades for tech experiments and companies.
I was 25 when I made the leap from carpentry to what I do now. I had no clue what the fuck was going to happen. I just felt like it was the right leap to make.

*only do this when you MUST get FLY and exude unspeakable and ineffable confidence where ppl will probably call you a cocky asshole*
recite this prayer:
Dear Haters,
You can all suck my balls from the back and my dick from the front.
I was born to be great.
you were all born to debate my greatness.
Clearly we are not the same.
in times of uncertainty I stand tall.
Even when alone, my spirit is guided by God’s invisible hand who shields me from the bullshit.
A back this broad was earned by climbing to places most could never reach.
If theyve never seen these heights, how could they comprehend my perspective?
Anyone with something negative to say is miles beneath me with mushy shit in their pamper and piss dribbling down their soft, weak legs.
Thank you mint god for humility.
Thank you mint god for strength.
Love,
(Your name)
And although I may not appear in the physical form, you will feel an aura of mint purple surrounding you and a genuine earthy sense of pride in your chest to continue on your mission, no fucks given.

i Am a proud fan of weird women!!!
Newest weird woman acquisition: the cute shy girl from my MBA program with a curly bob and red highlights.
Shes so quiet and shy, we’ve had every class together so far over 3 semesters and barely ever spoke aside from her saying happy Valentine’s Day to me in February. Fast forward to this semester I sit next to her first day of finance class and decide to Be friendly and chat. She’s quiet but cool so I get her number, offer to maybe study later in the semester (which is a mild courtesy as I was lowkey just gaining new allies in the class to assist with cheating).
But once I started texting her about class we just never stopped texting, and now I think we’re actively flirting? Shes into dark romance novels? she brought one of her novels to class yesterday and after class she snuggled up against me in the hallway and made me read a (very graphic) page about a girl getting fucked by a gun? This chick is nuts. Am I catching feelings?
