What other specific knowledge are important for all entrepreneurs?

@supremeyingyang @xxxx Yeah, I'm good with code. But I suck at handling people and making them pay properly, aka typical computer nerd issue. I'm also starting to learn a little about budget planning.

@Preety_India Ok. Why mentioning us in the beginning? Do you relate to what we share here? Do we share useful knowledge? Or was it random?

Thank you ❤️ Now I challenge you to do that for all members on this forum.

Thank for the advice! The local market is a little limited for me because of where I live, so I mostly try to find clients abroad (in Europe by preference because the timezone difference with the American continent is too huge).

I need to be honest about my social anxiety.

@Pudgey Damn... The mass-emailing strategy looks like some serious devilry (sorry if you don't like what I say). Do you think it's better to contact people by email and cold calling? I had a discussion with someone recently and he told me that it generates much more money than using platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, PeoplePerHour etc. People who post projects on these platforms seems mostly to search for very low prices.

It seems like basic stage orange self-help is what I need the most.

@Strangeloop It's the gold mine of business forums, just as actualized.org is the gold mine of personal development.

If I really want to get where I want to go, I need to make these fucking efforts. And I will do it, and I will self-sacrifice all these petty habits and fears to get there.

A Taste of Enlightenment I'm not sure if this is what I think it is, but it looks like it. For maybe 1 - 2 months I started to see and feel something that is literally everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It is here, just in front of my eyes, and here in me and outside me. But, the problem is that I'm not able to put a word on it. The more I try to describe it, the less true it sounds, even the word "enlightenment" sounds false. Multiple times my mind started to run into circles until it breaks down, shut up so that I'm able to perceive this thing for what it truly is. That's only temporarily for now (just a few seconds, at best 10 seconds), but it looks like a good beginning.

I'm easily dragged down into negativity. It's usually happens when one or multiple people have strong reactions against me when I say something or do something. When someone doesn't think enough and gets angry against me because he/she doesn't understand my perspective. It doesn't happen often, but when it happen it stays stuck in my head for hours or even days. However, the thing is that I already know the solution to the problem from an intellectual level. They are multiple things that I can do: focus on something positive, do deep breathing, let go, accept, etc. So what I am doing here? I think I'm looking for some emotional support.

That's very insightful, thank you. I also think I have some victim mentality which makes me do that. The solution that I see is to take more responsibility for how I handle my thoughts and emotional reactions to make a progressive perspective shift.
