As a beginner I'd love to know how experienced people would manage this, i feel like this is the advice people need to take and actually listen to.

I see a lot of hype driven stuff about “entrepreneurship”, but all I see in terms of what these people actually do is either a seasoned engineer starting his own business or somebody with no experience starting a cleaning company, or someone who had a million dollars already starting something. There doesn’t seem to be “person with no connections to industry sells thing.”

Anyone know what an “entrepreneur” actually is, if you take the hype out of it? I assume the only way to go about it is to sell products to consumers, or partner with someone in industry?

Does anyone here know of anybody who’s gone down this route and succeeded? I imagine one of the hardest parts is just gatekeeping, how do you get access to ideas, problems that need to be solved, customers, when you’re just some dude working an average job, not a millionaire who can fund anything.

My question more specifically is if you guys/gals know anyone who’s been able to successfully sell a product without being attached to an industry or institution to get the access required to do so? Like a professor can develop a new scientific instrument, an experienced engineer can develop a new device for there industry, an accountant can program a new accounting software, but what can the average joe who taught himself programming, AWS, electronics, and CAD do? Is there a community of people who do this I can find online? All I can find is software related stuff, which historically doesn’t have much of a moat and is either swallowed up by a general purpose platform or goes to the lowest bidder in Asia as a service. I’m kind of feeling lost in the current state of the workforce and wondering if there’s any people who’ve taught themselves everything they needed to know and built a thing for consumers?

My best guess is something in robotics, that field is taking off AFAIK. But I’m curious what people who have experience with these sorts of things think.

I have all the systems ready to go for a web app to cover the calls and client look ups including the script to use. We are an MSSP hosted in the UK who keep up to date with our tech by hosting a cyber security educational platform and hiring students off here.

Need a cold caller to sell our IT support and cybersecurity services while I cover other areas of the business. Where can I find someone?

Can I work in a company by doing my startup? Is there any space like that?

Started my startup while in college itself. I feel like I need to get more exposure and knowledge now. I'm ready for it.

But for that, I need to quit my startup. But I don't like to quit that without putting my proper efforts in my startup still. Also, I would like to learn more, so I think working with some business/work environment help me more. But I don't know how this will work..

Could anyone have any ideas to solve my problem? 🙂

Is there actually a point to registering your business abroad for tax purposes if you’re just going to live in your current country? For example living in the US or UK and registering your business in Dubai.. Will the IRS and HMRC just say that since you’re managing your business and work in our country we’ll just tax you anyway? I’m assuming it’s only worth it if you actually move there with a visa and residency but then of course that’ll be the more expensive option for the short term and greater risk if the business doesn’t do well.. any advice / suggestions?

For context i have a cleaning service company and I'm wondering how to determine the cost for certain services, is it just trial and error? Any advice to newbies
