Being an entrepreneur can be annoying when you:
1. Need to rent a place
2. Need to buy a place
Explaining your finances is not as cut and dry as having a normal job. It doesn't help that we often don't talk about the personal finance of founders.

Stop trying to validate startup ideas.
Start evaluating startup ideas.
Validation just looks to verify a confirmation bias not adjust the idea.

"I'm not a technical person"
Stop saying that!
Instead, say I did not study programming.
I'm good at marketing/sales/etc.
Don't let people BS you with jargon. Ask good questions.
Remember, you are smart. You can get it if they explain it.

@ImNotJK
I think you mean “invest in self-development in the weekend”. Working more won’t elevate your financial situation if that is the outcome you are after. However, working on yourself will unlock the next level. It can be mental and physical as well

ThreeJS and maybe even Spline (which uses it under the hood).
The more fun part is how do you envision this and design this all.
Once you see it sure, but the original creative thinking there is genius

In 2021 after going Indie, I wrote 2x the amount of code 🤯.
I'm shocked. Why?
Half my time is spent on learning marketing, social media, learning about stocks, talking to people, etc.
Maybe I should just double down on my strengths 💪?

6 months ago, I quit my job. Again.
Why? To become rich?
Being a high-paid employee + smart investing is far better.
I quit, so I can work on my own ideas 💡.
Ideas that are worth exploring. If I forget that, please remind me.

Yep, it needs to show they consistently. I'll go back a few years to see when they started to take things seriously.
Having lots of things you star also shows you are curious about new tech and try to keep up.
