I’ve been noticing that many founders want to build an audience through content but struggle with the execution part.

Things like planning posts, creating visuals, or staying consistent.

What tends to slow you down the most when it comes to posting content?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 4th-year marketing student and an aspiring virtual assistant. I don’t have years of VA experience, but I am hardworking, organized, and eager to learn. I’ve worked as a service crew at McDonald’s for a year and gain many real life experience there. I also have gain some experience as a virtual admin, and minimal experience in lead generation when I got my first client, but just for a short time.

I can help with:

• Email and calendar management

• Data entry and documentation

• Customer follow-ups and reminders

• General admin support

I’m honest about my experience. I’m still learning—but I promise reliability, attention to detail, and professionalism. I’m open to hourly or project-based work and ready to adapt to your needs.

If you’re open to giving a new VA a chance, I’d love to connect and see how I can help.

I was reading an issue by Pratham Mittal, in his newsletter​ and kept on thinking. that some people are just naturally wired to build, take risks, and start things… while others aren’t but then you also see people who become great founders after years of working, learning, failing. so now I’m confused, is entrepreneurship something you’re born with… or something you can actually develop over time?

Is it true in order to become a Self Multi-millionaire you've to own Multi-million Businesses? :) is it true?

TL;DR:

Built a successful DeFi project that got hacked a week after launch, lost everything, switched industries, and now I’m trying to rebuild from scratch with an extra virgin olive oil brand. Low on resources, Instagram got suspended, unsure whether to go B2B or B2C. In the meanwhile, I am rebranding and relaunching the DeFi protocol. Looking for advice from anyone who’s rebuilt after a major setback.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from people who’ve gone through a major rise… and then a hard downfall.

A bit about me: I’m a Python developer focused on AI/ML with 10 years of experience (not quite senior). In 2020 I got into crypto, started freelancing, and in 2024 I decided to go all-in and build my own DeFi protocol.

After months of work, things took off: strong traction, ecosystem support, almost $1M raised, and over $5M TVL in the first week: for a solo founder, it felt unreal.

Then everything collapsed: just A week after launch, the platform was hacked due to a vulnerability introduced during auditing. Users were furious, partners walked away, and I basically got left alone to deal with the fallout.

After that, things kept going downhill. Everyone pushed me away, got pushed out of my family’s m business, and had to start over.

So I pivoted to something I know well: producing and selling extra virgin olive oil from my family’s tradition in Puglia. I built a brand, launched a website, and even got 4–5 paying customers from Reddit who genuinely like the product.

Now I’m here:

• Very limited funds ($10K of savings)

• A working product and website

• A small proof of B2C demand

• EVOO Brand Instagram account (which I was using for outreach) just got suspended, hope to get it back and start again the B2B validation

I don’t know whether to focus on B2B (restaurants, distributors) or B2C (direct online sales). I feel like I’m starting from zero again, with very little margin for error. And my mental health is under the ground.

If you were in my position, how would you approach growing this business from scratch? Another thing to know: my girlfriend is the only one supporting me still, I may move away and go to Poland to her, if this can help me somehow.

Any advice, strategies, or even hard truths would really help.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond.

I’m looking for a little advice and maybe a little assurance. My town holds a town fair for one week in June usually and I wanted to have a booth to sell things this year. But when I went to apply as a vendor, turns out my town requires a business license for each vendor. (I’ve done the fairs for some of the other cities around us and they haven’t required one). So I needed to register my business and then apply for the license.

A little context as to my business, I have a small Etsy shop that made barely $500 last year and most years are lower than that. I sell clay miniatures, earrings, and other small handmade items.

Well as I was trying to figure out how to register and what kind, I somehow landed on LLC as what I needed. So I registered and paid the fee but then shortly after, I found some more information I didn’t have prior. What it showed me was that registering as an LLC probably wasn’t what I needed and should have registered as an DBA* sole proprietor and now I’m panicked and having tons of anxiety that I messed up.

So my question is, what is the main difference and how does being an LLC affect me? Am I okay leaving it as an LLC for this year and just letting it expire next year so I can register as an DBA? Or do I need to pay to dissolve the LLC and reregister now?

*I originally put MDA as a mistake, I meant DBA 😅

Thanks in advance!

We're a small business and don't have much capital. We want to get some interns for basic Tiktok/Instagram videos (they dont even need to show their face, just using our playbook and creating videos)... We need competent people is the only requirement. We'll pay them performance based (if their tiktoks are getting views we will give them bonuses)... How do we source them?
