Where he is now ? from which country he was ? He was active for years I think

@Semiclassical or @LeakyNun is Mike Miller still active on chat these days ?

I am also leaving for Lunch. Bye

Anyway, very nice talking to you copper.hat. I would really say you are very nice person and very down to earth in your life. I wish you do many other great things in your life :)

In India a lot of people are very smart but they die in inner competition itself (very huge population).

isn't "no work" boring. Every one has own way of looking things but getting retired and not doing challenging things are like doing damage to muscles by skipping workout after you got 6 packs.

What he does ? No work now ?

Nice to hear that. You are still young with lot of life experience and learning. You have advantage of that.

Yesterday I thought to observe myself as third person to see what faults and bad things I have once every week.

Good point

one should be aware of all these things and should know if risking is really for them or not

Some of your points like "wealthy parents", "risk" does makes sense

That doesn't matter. If you have you can share. Good and bad depends on how we use it.

Yeah man, it's bad. Any other important point or lesson from your life you want to give me ?

yeah.

You forgot one more thing other than wealthy parents to become rich. Bitcoin and Tesla stocks.

yes. But I took too much.

and that is what makes it interesting. Recently after securing job I started procrastinating for around 2 week and I found that "easiness" was damaging me.

Do you have enough skills for getting high paying job ? In my case even I lose everything I can get good job to live very good life with one Europe trip every year. That is what I said, you should risk when you don't have family. After you got family you have to think of savings and all.

It's never late but you can't risk when you have kids and family to look at

Ignore the "what idea you were working on part", you already answered it while I was typing

On what idea you were working on ? Were you working on something that people really need or it was just for sake of making money (for example no one tells people to use SO but people find it on own because of it's quality and need) ? Did you started it when you were young (because our energy level (Testosterone) decreases with age and we become less focused)? Currently in India I see a lot of people doing startup and getting good results.

You want to share some more difficulties and failures you faced while doing business ? I usually like to listen about others mistake so I don't make similar

Build the product in silence with your team.Why you want to market it very early even before building it? Ask your college batch-mates and friends to use it after that and then market after that.

usually smart people find difficulty in "marketing & sales". But you need to be good in it or hire good people for it. But that doesn't compensate for bad product

really good ideas

Recently I read "zero to one" by Peter Thiel and I would suggest people here to read it too if they want to get started with buisness

What difficulties you had ?

and we don't need to be like robot or perfect. It's completely fine to have flaws

Yes I have flaws. We should accept truth than satisfying lies

and liking people

I was introvert in most part of my college but now I have started talking to people

That's true. Connections are very important.

thanks.

All I got is I have few money through internships and I will start my job coming July

I am poor with respect to my own local population too.

Let me tell you story, I gave interview for software role and I got rejected even I was prepared very well since every time I was in fear and stress. But next day with another company I forgot everything and just focused on the problems they asked me. I succeeded. Don't focus on result, focus on process. Don't focus on money

Don't make money priority. Make it as side effect of your work. I don't have wealthy parents but I am from 3rd world country (but with huge market). I have read about many people here as well as in USA who have made it without wealthy parents

we find something hard if we aren't deeply interested in them. If we are interested we think about that even doing some other task. Also nothing rewarding comes without risk and hard work (also smart work)

Yes, it's a big responsibility but atleast I don't have fear of failure

Usually I build a habit and then sometime it motivates me to do it for long time

copper.hat people also underestimate taking risk. How much time have you spend doing a business ? if you haven't spend time in something how can you say you are not good into it ?

I don't have any family responsibility

I mean losing money doesn't matter to me. I can just find another job and live

copper.hat No. But doesn't mean I can't do good. Everyone starts first time. I will definitely start because I would never get married or have kids and it's easy for me

only 1% out of million get into

Even 90% percent business fail it's easier than to get into college in which I studied

A lot of business fail anyway. Anway you need to risk high for high reward.

A lot of business models today work with bleeding the money first and then making profit

Yes, we can get investors for money. For example when paypal was founded it used to give money to user for doing transaction. However when lot of people joined it became profitable
