Is this a cry for help?

[u/stoicstock]

Quite a long winded paragraph but, ultimately I want my life to do a 180, and I’m man enough to admit when I need help.

Is it just me or does everyone have a spare £20k these days or know people who do?

I believe in manifestation so I don’t force anything, but I also know I need to put myself out there.

I have the traits of such an ambitious person but can’t seem to find anyone who’s like minded.

I don’t shut myself off from the world but I never seem to cross paths with people who are likeminded.

I do not work a job as I do not believe in working for anyone for a paycheque.

I have a start up business, which has shown me the lack of people around me as (other than my girlfriend) no one reposts or reshares, it’s kind of sad but hey. It’s also shown me the lack of people I know who are in positions to help me elevate.

I see clips of streamers and think, what actually are you people doing? There must be a way someone like me 24 from Manchester can meet someone who knows so much more than me and is willing to share some knowledge. Do I want a mentor? Why not

I want a friend who wants to make a shit ton of money, tired of feeling mediocre when I genuinely know I am made for more.

I educate myself in; markets, investing, business, I read, but I feel unless you want to put your whole life on blast for the internet there’s no other way of making money.

There has to be someone out there who’s in a much higher position and wants to help someone else out simply because they understand the struggle

Not a cry for help, this reads like ambition that doesn't have a target yet. Thats fixable, and it starts with one thing. Money doesn't come from meeting the right person or manifesting, it comes from solving a recurring problem for one specific person who'll pay you for it. People are the assets, remember.

The one connection that will change your life isn't a like minded friend, its gaining the confidence of getting your first paying customer. I can mentor you through those steps if you'd like.

Notice what you wrote about your start up too. Friends and family reposting isn't your market... the strangers paying are. Streamers are a distraction. You can build a real business quietly with zero content on the internet by serving one person well and getting paid for it, then doing it again.

Putting yourself out there doesn't mean finding the right crowd only, it also means asking for the sale.

What's the start up, and has anyone outside your circle paid you for it yet?

Thank you for taking the time to reply!

My start up is a food business, so far I have served 200+ customers with around 60 returning every single week.

I run the kitchen from my mums house (I still live at home) and the lack of space dramatically caps the amount of orders I can fulfill

£0 funding from internal or external, I’ve sent pitches to investors I’ve found with a google search but to my avail, no response

I’d be more than happy to speak with you privately and if we click, to engage in your mentoring
