No. Basically zero chances any of your ideas will work. Even with funds and employees. I did a lot of side projects, maybe 30~ and 2 turned into companies which made me a great, great living and then failed for the most unexpected sh1t.

I’m sorry but you either roll the dice a ton of times with extremely small amounts and hope for a big win Which is very unlikely or you have to play with other people’s money. In case you haven’t attended Stanford, too bad I guess. You’d have to meet rich people some other way.

At this point I regret investing the net worth I accumulated through my companies and investments in more pointless companies of my own trying to shoot for the 9-10 figure net worth. It’s pure nonsense unless you use OPM. I regret not buying a home in bad conditions and fixing it up to luxury and living happily in it with my girlfriend and dog. It would’ve been fun and awesome and wholesome. Then I could’ve done that many times over, slowly building a fancy net worth in decades instead of years but living Vicariously through every minute of it. So since I just turned 24, my plan is to do exactly this.

So no don’t sell your home please

"then failed for the most unexpected sh1t"

I am curious. Would you be willing to tell us what happened ?

If you’re really 24, you have plenty of time to accumulate and buy that house with your GF and dog. Assuming you only started earning at 18, next 6 years likely to far outpace the last.
