That's nice, too bad I'll be opening my own.

Did you know, there are hookah bars that have never gone bankrupt? Especially with their rising popularity across the country.

Did you know vast majority of small businesses go bankrupt within their first two years?

Yes, and the exceptional ones, like mine, don't.

what makes you think your business is so special? inb4 any of that "positive energy" bullshit.

Exotic atmosphere, college town, 50,000+ customer base, zero competition.

Zero progress. No effort. No research. No touch with reality.

And Dank.

Add all of that up, and all you have is...

Dank.

It's called belief, whatever you believe is true.

get the f*ck out. believing in something only makes it true in your mind, which does nothing in the real world.

So if it makes it true in your mind, we do indeed form our reality from belief, don't we? Define 'real world' for me.

It's outside. Try logging out of echo chambers, shutting off your computer, and GETTING A JOB. Or meeting people. Or doing SOMETHING constructive.

Aside from scrawling a business plan on a napkin and rubbing your face on guitar strings.

Thanks Monster, your thoughtful advice is very helpful.
