thanks. i never graduated just entry level plumbing classes. My wife on the other hand has potential with her degree but lacked jon experiance. No doubt she could probably have an awesome job now but being our own bosses sounded to awesome. If things dont work out im sure we can fall back into our previous style work and make it by.

My best friend and his brother got pretty lucky imo Brother is like 23, graduated hs while working at Nordstrom sales position in shoe dept. moved to assist manger while taking classes at community. Somehow gets a job as a district manager at a payroll company which requires a degree he doesn't have. No nepotism. Makes 70k at least. Has realtors license but I've only seen him sell one house (got 13k from it)
Best friend is 21 like me. Went from working at Yogurtland to getting a police officer job paying 80k a year starting. Only has an AA which he barely got. (Nepotism was involved, but he also had a super clean record)

If you're ugly/have shit genes 4 and 5 go right out the window, 7 is a function of 5 and 6. 8 is meaningless. 1, 3, 9, and 10 is basically just parts of 2.
It all comes down to work ethic, which is a bunch of things bundled together.

>10 things that require zero talent But this is nonsense? They require talent for self-organization, for example.
Nicholas Parker
>body language requires zero talent yeah, no t. aspie
Carter Bennett
Its all perspective. Body language for instance, is to not slouch and not be resting or relaxing while your on the job. Smiling for customers and being mindful of your hand gestures, ex. No flipping people off and throwing up ganh signs, picking your nose at work and having a proper hand shake. Requires no skill and makes you look more professional and helps you succed in a job.
Landon Gonzalez
honestly, that list should be "10 things that people with zero talent do", lol
talented ppl are lazy and have stupid sleep schedules
Nolan Bennett
>Requires no skill Self Control and Focus

Society makes you feel like you havent made it or your not doing well enough, thanks goes out to the people letting me know im doing well. When you look at it im not successful but i can afford to drive a car, eat, and pay the utility bills without help. My wife and i hope to buy a house before we're 30 and have kids before we're 35. If i can continue to afford food, my bills, and get them clothes and presents for thier b days and christmas i'll be happy. I hope others on here succed in these endevours as well. Sure wouldnt mind making more money thou

>open up my own plumber business yes.
and no. l2spell burger it is your native language - it is quit, not quite kek.
Jayden Barnes
How do you define a quality that requires zero talent? A natural ability for something? Where do natural abilities come from? Genes, of course.
Are the qualities in that list already present in a person without some genes that predispose their possession? Of course not.
Hence to acquire them in someone without the sufficient genes would require consistent effort. What is a talent but the accumulation of consistent efforts?
Therefore, at least a few of the things on those list require some talent.

Your speaking psycology man. We adapt to our surroundings and see what others do and what others do on tv. We know right from wrong and make the choice to be better and have those 10 qaulities cuz we see them every day in other or on tv. This may not work in some of the shitty places in the world but for most it does.

Yes and no. Idealy you'd want to obtain more ad hoc skills. Like industrial plumbing or somthing.(Not to familuar with the plumbing scene) But do your own thing now for a while it's good experience. Then try to get more specialized and then start your company again as a more specialized company but you can still do the same old jobs so that you don't get any gaps. Best of luck senpai.
Anthony Wood
cool that you waited 10yrs to grow a pair and start biz and marry fagit
Dominic Campbell
I congratulate and admire you. My father did something similar which is why I grew up comfortably middle class even though he was born into poverty.
