That’s exactly why I’m going to shelve SB for now and run Emperor + NR until my business is up and running then SB will be brought back. It is a great sub and opens all sorts of ambitious perspectives, but I still need to create something I can apply the ambition to. Right now I don’t have that.

It’s not “sexy”.
But anyone considering running a business: Would you rather compete against IVY League grads with their connections and arguably easier access to funds and other resources, OR just against a normal guy running his “boring” everyday business?
If you have an idea that could change the world, sure, go for it. I’m not saying you cannot succeed.
It’s just that there is an easier way, where you do not have to have the greatest idea. You just need to perform better, run your business with better processes than the average Joe.
Sure, it will take effort. Lots of it. But so does running a tech startup.
How important is “getting rich” for you? Important enough, that you would be willing to work for it?
Edit: Just so you know, I’m not a tech startup founder. I run a super unsexy “boring” company. Using it to fund my future projects, that are a lot sexier than the one I’m running now

I am gonna try with creating faceless YT channels with AI. I figured out that that business model for creating passive income is alluring to me. So it is kind of people facing and also it isn’t as I don’t plan to swom my face. I don’t know if ASBR fame scripting will kick in in that case.
Also I do a bit of trading.
I generally like the other benefits from Emperor, so I am reluctant to switch it out.

I’m finding out actually, because I’m struggling so much to devise a new way of making money that’s unconventional.
This is my biggest anger, I gave up making money the “old way” (government job, stable, monotonous, physical presence) and since i left, I haven’t been able to get a new job because I’m stuck on this model and think that nothing different will work. Its been 4 years.
I don’t know if I want to start a business, but I want a push that take me to make money in a new way. Also, doing it with purpose is essential for me.
In this sense, I was wondering if NR is also good for being disruptive in this way: breaking the collective and inner established ways in which money can come in, even if I’m not thinking about entrepreneurship itself.

Many of the wealth subs have supported me in finding new and unconventional pathways to making money long before NR—ways that were distinct from my previous limitations, I should say.
HOM, EOG come to mind, but these day Genesis Mogul would also be a streamlined way of doing this.

Can you elaborate please?
You could run Emperor, Stark Black , and NR together to see what happens. I think a lot of us that struggle with finding ways to make money are stuck in a belief system that see only a job or something such as Uber and DoorDash as the only way to make money. It’s as if our perspective and perception is cut or walled off from seeing opportunities. That’s how I have always felt.
I recall @ksub stating multiple times that EOG St 1 helped a lot with money and wealth issues

In those 4 years, have you build any new skills that are in high demand?

Off the top of my head
Emperor -had me go find consulting/support work in marketing when I had been unwilling to do anything new for years and never thought I had any capacity in that field.
Ascended Mogul had me renegotiate my position and salary where I was to double my income at the time
HOM had me doing freelance PPE brokering, and while I made a couple thousand on smaller transactions, I came very close to closing $500K+ deals
EOG Stage 2 had me find one of my current roles in sales -I never in a million years would have thought of. I’ve now made just over $300K in this role in the last year alone
Stark Black is bringing me coaching clients, which is something I’ve wanted but never been proactive about, and they’re getting referred to me and signing up after an initial call without any effort other than intention on my part.

Thank you.
I’ve been grateful and blown away by the prosperity I’ve had this year. And sub club has played a big part. I also hold myself responsible 
I’m not a millionaire yet. On my current trajectory, I’ll make it there in 3-4 years, but my aim is 1-2 now.
Now I’m looking for the next quantum leap. I work hard and want to make 4x what I make now at this level of effort.

Emperor has this capacity to help you put your butt in action mode and crush your doubts. Still one of my favorite subs and maybe the one that gave the most results.

Brother, look into AI. It is still a blue ocean and most people have no idea how to monetize it. The rules are still being written.

Great suggestion thank you.
My friend has a solar company, and I was thinking of supporting his growth for equity as well.
That seems like an open space as well.

James, you have the power to climb the ladder to become a CEO. Why not aim to become a CTO first? I say this because you have a passion for coding and love technology. Why not start off as a junior programmer, then move up to Chief Programmer, and eventually become a CTO? You can then change the world. The power is within you; you are a god deep down. Come and unleash the Balrog of Moria.
The world needs great men like James the Balrog.
I have seen so many positive changes in James he will one day be the one we all turn to when we say our prayers.

True, I started practicing positive self talk in the morning and gratitude in the evening and I can see how my mindset and self love is improving.
