I've been a long time lurker and reader of this sub and similar subs (5+ years).
I'm looking if someone else has been in my position and has any advice?
I'm a simple person and don't have many issues. I live an already comfy life with a high salary, pretty much 0 issues and no daily / yearly problems (the American dream or whatever they call it).
Part of me has wanted to do a startup / business for many years now, but my only motivation would be the money potential. I also am very minimalistic and buy nothing outside of food, cloths, and housing unless its essential; the rest I invest. 99% of the time I don't get why people buy things from a company or the value it provides and I have a very large disconnect from the average person on what they value to their own lives (unless its free I don't use it pretty much and even then I'm almost not bothered to use it). I don't understand other people's problems is what I am trying to say (even if I ask them). I can't think of anything I could build that I would be excited to spend my own money on either.
I feel as though my mindset is the worse possible for an entrepreneur and even more so for a startup founder and it would be a waste of time to go down this path. Maybe its best I just stick to my 9-5 or just buy existing businesses and make a conglomerate of some sort.
If someone has been in my shoes and found a way to guide their mindset forward please let me know. I have an urge to do this, but not sure why. Looking for some support if possible and feedback to guide me.
