I’m old, so the wasting of time is more terrifying to me than the average 25 year old (I’ve done more of it.)
But young men should be terrified, as their window is closing faster than mine did.
I’ve got 10 years on you yet your window of opportunity is the same as mine. You are at a disadvantage so you don’t have time to waste like I did.
That being said, I didn’t have the tools to build independently like you have now.
I needed to raise $500k a pop to even quantify if any idea I had was good by getting it to market.
I needed to raise $10k for “market research” before anyone would give me the $30k I needed for an MVP, before I could even take a shot at raising that $500k.
I needed 6 months MINIMUM to get to the point of being able to raise, already in debt, and usually failing.
If you are a young man in your early 20’s with agency, it is a terrifying time. But you don’t have time to wallow in it. The door is closing. Your moment is passing. The floor of the abyss is sticky and you’re NGMI unless you go right now. You have the tools. Get up and go. Now.

Seneca said "It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a great deal of it." 2000 years later and dudes are still doom scrolling at 2am wondering why nothing changes. the man told you. you have time. you just keep lighting it on fire. 4000 weeks. thats all you get. thats it. every week you waste doom scrolling or overthinking or waiting for the right moment is a week you never get back. and you dont even notice them going. thats the dangerous part. it doesnt feel like loss. it feels like nothing. and nothing is the most expensive thing in the world.
