"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

There is a lot of good advice on this thread.

When you are just starting out and broke, you need a secondary source of income besides the business. Get a girlfriend with a good job. The most important advice I could ever give is to tell you to take your first profits and reinvest them back into the business. Typically, that involves buying equipment. You and your personal bills are parasites to your business income. The early revenue is very important and must be reinvested back into the business.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I have a friend, well it's not my friend it's my fiancees friend but mine nevertheless, she worked for a startup about 12-14 years ago. she had JuST got married to this guy (still married). they were having trouble paying her. she wanted to stay, she believe in what they were doing, husband wanted to get a stable job.s he went and got a job at an art gallery and has worked there ever since.

that company? craigslist. needless to say, she made a mistake and let's her no risk taking husband hear it at every opproutnity.

startups are called startups for a reason. they aren't stable yet. Everyone wants to be rich, everyone wants to dream build but no one wants to sacrifice or anything or get pissy the first time the check isn't htere at 12 on noon friday.
