Let’s face it, we’re often programmed to become employees rather than to become employers.

How did your family or friends respond, when you told them you were starting a business of your own?

Did their perception change your mind or motivated you to go harder or go home? 💪🏽

This is exactly what I was thinking. It’s a whole lot easier when people around you are doing it. You go with what you know, and if you never see anyone around you doing it, it feels out of reach. That’s just speaking from my experience. It was a big jump for me to even try, and it’s still seen as a scary thing to people around me. Know the risks, but know the benefits too.

The entrepreneurial ideology is capturing people with the false promise of financial prosperity.

Believing that you're going to be the next Jeff Bezos is just as dumb - or even more - as working as an employee 9-5.

You don't have access to the tax cuts the rich get, you don't have access to the political lobby the rich operate.

It's not an effing mindset. It's how society is structured.

One more response to SS1: on my much, much, much smaller set of commercial real estate private equity funds I’m a part of, we take advantage many of the same favorable tax treatment as, say, President Trump’s businesses use—or any other large commercial real estate investment/development companies use. So favorable treatment (depending on your business) under the tax code is certainly not only for the very, very rich.

Weekend thought as many of us watch our portfolios bleed away value as the market hit all time highs: stick with it. This is a very difficult time in the market so try to figure out what’s not working and fix it. Stick with your process while trying to improve it. That should you you in the best place to manage risk now and be positioned to capture new opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Discipline, execution, and patience are key sources of alpha. Best of luck.

Really confused as to whether to incorporate my NY- based makeup startup as an LLC or an S-corp? Not based in NYC if that matters and no revenue yet. Should I be looking into Delaware at all (specifically a Delaware C-Corp) if I do plan on raising capital at some point down the line? Also - for any FDA lawyers out there, what is the problem with developing makeup (specifically foundations) with SPF? I've heard it's "heavily regulated." What do I need to be aware of?
