I am curious.
I see alot of potential on the IC and everyone has a specialty that sets them apart..
do you guys realize the people that you may look up to our see in business setting are not that good at their job but they do have the belief that their gift or what they can show as a gift makes them money?
we all have that it.
what are yours?

Cuz ? ain't tryna quit their 9-5 and give up the stability of that guaranteed paycheck and put their faith in themselves, but risk falling on their faces and not being able to support themselves, their family or cop the new Js.
And cuz ? ain't willing to KEEP their 9-5 and work like a dog on their own business with whatever time they have left in the day cuz they'd rather be spending those hours elsewhere.

Keep your day job but start your ? on the side it helps if you have many brothers that share your vision.

its just ? call themselves chiefs... -
Even if I hit the lottery I wouldn't. Just don't and never had the desire to do so. I'm not THAT passionate about anything enough 2 live/ eat and sleep it. I let go of work when I clock out. Salary and lifestyle provide a lot of fun so it works. I don't wanna work PERIOD let alone start a business.

Still building up the capital. Trying to do it with as little debt going in as possible.

Eye roll.
Because maybe they don't want to?
Not everybody is an entrepreneur and there is nothing wrong with that. -

As a Native American I'm appalled and offended and your choice of words.

I started my t-shirt business and I failed because I'm not putting that much money into something that doesn't have much profit. I did that Facebook promotion ? nobody brought ?

I'm running my own ? now, but I'll be damned if these $75-$85/hr contracts hitting my inbox ain't lookin good as ? right now.
I just took on a client last month that couldn't afford to pay me a whole lot but guarantees me 40hrs worth of work a week. I took that ? to stabilize my income but this ? sucks. I haven't made this little bit of money since about 2003. At the very least it give the family a base to work from while I pull in more business but I'll be a liar if I said I was happy with this ? right now. -

aye man...get that ? .....it all comes in the long run.
you stay steady on your ? .....business starts slow....we need to keep each other encouraged.
do that ? on the side like sunlord said....
you might have to take days off to get side money.....but the goal is to go solo.
dont let ? stop you or discourage you....
man i got stories for days about how things got tough and how things were good.
-
to be real. i got other obligations. id love to just up and start a business but u need the extra disposable income to put into it and potentially loose and it not ruin ur life. im not at that point yet.

if you real about this......send a pm.....
we can talk about it when i come back to philly.....i need to come back soon...i think i forgot to turn my heat on and i heard its cold there. -

we already talked about this a bit......you think about what we talked about? -
If things aren't tough at first you aren't doing it right. Rough patches are there to shape you not discourage you. So don't let that drag you down @konceptjones
That's also why I haven't jumped in yet. I recognize that and I want as little turbulence as possible when I finally decide to take flight. -
For other reasons stated im just afraid.
Just being honest with myself,but i am working and investing in my vision daily while i work this job to support my family and personal lifestyle.
Its a lot to give up but eventually im going to bet it all.
