Oh No. I just noticed Pizza My Heart is closed down. That was my go to for downtown pizza in WC. Now where should I go that is close by - walking distance.

New to LSA on Google. Should I mark off the ones who have been charged as complete, so that google asks them to write a review.

I really need help. A group of racoons have been going up onto top of my roof in California every night and pooping. There is a HUGE pile and not sure what to do. We have trees near our house and I think they use that to climb up there. I tried removing the poop and they still come back. My wife said to spray lysol on the poop pile and I did that and they keep coming back. What can I do. I don't want to trap them or hurt them. Just want them to stop pooping on my roof.

i've been thinking about this a lot lately because almost all entrepreneurship content feels split into two categories:

complete beginner motivation stuff like "just start"

millionaire founder advice that only works after you already have traction

but almost nobody talks about the weird middle phase where:

you've already tried a few ideas

maybe made a little money online before

know enough to realize most things are harder than they look

but still do not have anything stable or scalable yet

that phase feels mentally exhausting because you are no longer excited by generic motivation, but you also cannot relate to people talking about raising millions or hiring teams.

i honestly think a huge percentage of people interested in startups are stuck there quietly.

something else i noticed is that a lot of early entrepreneurship seems less about finding "the perfect idea" and more about surviving long enough financially and mentally to keep testing ideas consistently.

curious how other people here deal with that stage.

did you eventually push through it with one good project, or did your approach completely change over time?
