Young Aspiring Entrepreneurs of HackForums, Listen Up... - Inveno - Dec 3, 2015
If you're an aspiring entrepreneur and still young and in school, college or uni, you're soon going to realise a few things in regards to the people around you.
First of all; most, if not all the people around you are sheep of society and follow in the next persons footsteps of getting that 9-5 job hell life that you should rightfully dread and hope to never be in. People around you are going to be super focused on getting the best grades possible because they know nothing better than working under the employers control, waking up every morning to the sound of their horrible alarm clock and dragging themselves out of bed, getting ready like a zombie.
Now, I remember at this stage, I was starting to realise that the people around me are complete lost causes, regardless of their degrees and whatnot as they're still going to be slaving for their money, but what I learned is "Live let live"; I remember trying to convince my best friend that there's more to life than working under someone, but he wouldn't have any of it and I would get really mad whenever I spoke with him. But there has to be people doing that for you to be different, so let them think how they want, you'll never change them.

Solid posts. Any book recommendations for starting entrepreneurs?

Solid advice op! Thanks for the thoughts!

Okay, I have a very specific question for anyone who wants to answer. Would you mind PMing me?

I have always told to myself that I would never work from 9-5 for the next
40 years of my life. I just can't. Which is why I am trying to build something to
achieve what I want.

For once a decent post. Your very right about that, I definitely would not want to work 9-5.

It's great, I love just peering into it and going into deep thought, actually what provoked me to write this thread.

The title of that book is actually pretty inspiring itself.
I need some advice, what if I'm living a 7am-7pm job and still barely get through, would it be smart for me to risk putting that money into a project and risk losing it all?

Move in with your parents so you don't have to worry about bills and then build your empire from there. I've never had a job in my life and I'm now clearing more than anyone I know or have known personally.
Put the thought in and the money will come.

I don't need grades because I'm going to win the lottery so I'm set.
