Just like what Michael did, I want to be the second music artist to own Sony Records (or at least a good chunk of it). When I heard about what Michael was able to do under the record company, I was in awe. That man bought the catalogue of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, and Little Richard. If not Sony Records, Universal Music Group. That man owned the mastering of his own music and others music too. He was also about to buy out MARVEL STUDIOS TOO! So idk what he did to make all that possible, yet I want to try it out for myself.

50 M here, not an investor nor a VC, but a consultant, with a range of interests, and looking for motivated established professional cofounders and startups to explore new projects together.

Anyone local in downtown Toronto doing anything interesting and open to collaborating?

Looking for any new opportunities in their business.

If you're curious too, then send me a DM and let's trade a couple of messages.

Hi everyone,

I'm seriously considering leaving my full-time job to start my own business, but I'm still exploring which direction to take. I'd really appreciate your advice and recommendations.A little about me: I'm an Electrical Engineer with over 10 years of professional experience. I currently work in warehouse automation, robotics, and material handling systems. Alongside my engineering career, I've always been passionate about IT and have continued learning and working on technical projects as a hobby.
I want to build a business that makes the best use of my technical background and has long-term growth potential. I'm open to ideas in engineering, automation, robotics, or any other field.
If you were in my position, what type of startup would you consider? I'd also love to hear from anyone who has left a stable job to start their own business. What would you recommend, and what lessons did you learn?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

How do you know that you are built for entrepreneurship or Consulting . I have researched enough of both the fields but I still can't decide on one specifically . I think that the smart move will be to first enter Consulting for 5-6 years then enter the entrepreneurship market . But I will lose the 5-6 years of work experience of the pure entrepreneurship experience. What do you guys think ?

So, I'm a 29, almost 30 year old man starting my own business selling AI receptionists. I used to hire out construction units and portaloos via cold calling, and I have to say I got relatively decent at it and it's been a skill I haven't used in a while.

But the main reason I am doing this, the one and only reason, is that I nothing to show for my life. I am mentally unwell, autistic, friendless, forever alone and I want to make something out of the nonexistent life I have. Every day I am going to make 300 cold calls to try and sell my product and if it fails, oh well, I can say I tried.

Rule 1 of this challenge is that I am going to try and sell to 20 different customers.

Rule 2 of this challenge is that I cannot give up until after 90 days.

Day 1. Set up my call system, got mentally ready to cold call, and made 350 calls that lead to a few interesting conversations but mostly just rejections and people brutally hanging up or saying no.

Was a kick in the teeth, but I'm gonna do this again tomorrow to see where it goes.

m looking to find some suppliers for my restaurant, for example how would I go about to find a company that supplied middle eastern teas and coffees?

I’ve seen some stories that indicate I should protect myself legally from my business and have seen many suggestions from llc and holding companies to having remote employees and super business insurance.

I haven’t asked actual business men their thoughts and suggestions and that’s what I’m here for.

I’d appreciate all ranges and types of tips, advice, and suggestions.
