MOTIVATION Thread For Aspiring CEOs, Career-brahs and Aesthetic BRahs

In! Really looking forward to your stories of what you guys expect to achieve or have already achieved.
I'm learning how to code in PHP so I can get all my creative idea's on the market and not have to pay before hand.
Also I'm just really interested in computer science and want to start with this 'easy' and well known web development language.

Because of this thread this morning I said to myself let's get the hell out of bed and go for a run.

Thanks guys.

No problem bro. I recommend starting off with becoming familiar with really simple front end coding and a scripting language. Review HTML and CSS. Then when you get the chance look into a scripting language like power shell. Once you become familiar with these I'd say its time to look into object oriented programming languages like Java. That is my approach. Maybe you could dive straight into something like Java, who knows

I personally dono anything about restaurants, hopefully someone else ITT does. I just know that its a little bit more work than your average business. So you'd want to be innovative in terms of cost cutting, because thats killer in the restaurant business. That is why "Food trucks" have become big. Basically make good money with little overhead with those.

Great point.
I was leaning towards a cafe, small tap room, or just hole-in-the-wall mom&pop styled diner. I feel like those would all be pretty low start up costs -- but your idea about a food truck is spot on, man.
Working towards improving my cooking/knowledge and getting into brewing more with some local guys who want to open some sort of shop.

That, and school. Sometimes I feel like school is a detractor, but I remind myself that I'm there for the stability of my future, and I've only got 2 more years

Yeah bro. Finish that school. . I don't regret finishing up school one bit. There is something about it that opens a lot of new doors in terms of self-realization and also building your network. I think there will be something even bigger than food trucks within the next 5-6 yrs, I just don't know what yet. maybe you'll be the first to it

In on this, great thread idea.

Stopped being a lazy khunt at start of this year, in my final year of a Finance degree, got high distinction average last semester, will replicate that this semester and hopefully get accepted into honours.

Also getting involved with other stuff, voluntary marketing consulting work, uni society work and I'm also learning Spanish.

Busy busy busy is the way to be.



I like this quote and I apply it whenever I meet new people, specifically intelligent people in a good stage of life;

Love the quote bro. One of the biggest things I am always working on is always remaining grateful and humble. Its hard, but its a must!

When I was at a recent festival in my town last week on the same basis as a "food truck" some guy had made an ATM on a trailer and had a few of them parked around the event and close to the bars.

very innovative.

[SolidFoundation]

aspiring to be both

[Destor]

In. My long-term goal is to get into an executive position with an international construction contractor, become a partner with a solid smaller firm that is going places, or start my own company. I slacked big time back when I was in high school and worked menial, pointless jobs for years before going back to finish my education. Currently in my second year of Construction Engineering with a focus on Project Management.

I have gone from barely showing up during high school a decade ago to:

-4.0 GPA
-5 awards/scholarships so far
-Honor Roll
-Dean's List
-Communications Coordinator with student council

Working my ass off, but it will pay off in the end. I wish I was this driven when I was 18...

Quoting because that quote is awesome, just because it reveals the simplicity in becoming great.

Hey bro, on a VERY similar boat as you.
We can sit here and wish we were what we are now. We all do. But its best to not think of that. Instead, think , "How can I avoid feeling the same way a decade from now?"

**** bro. Sounds hard. Just remember that in reality, no one will ever pity you enough to fix your problems and help you succeed. At the end of the day, people are out to get their own in one way or another. Its all on you

Certainly not easy. Hardest part is the depression makes me sleep a lot, and makes it hard for me to find any motivation.

But anyway, we've all got issues.

That is exactly right bro. Just remember that there is someone out there that is coming from a lower point in life than you, and they are making it. Meaning you can too.
