Read valuable insights from over 15 experienced entrepreneurs I interviewed.

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently written three blog posts aimed at beginner entrepreneurs or those who dream of starting their own entrepreneurial journey but are unsure where to begin. As a beginner entrepreneur myself, I had many questions and uncertainties. To provide valuable insights, I interviewed over 15 experienced entrepreneurs, and their wisdom forms the core of these articles.

  1. I Want to Be an Entrepreneur, But I Have No Ideas… - This post is for those who aspire to be entrepreneurs but struggle with generating ideas. It offers practical advice and strategies to uncover potential business ideas.
  2. Can You Be an Entrepreneur Without Owning a Business? Insights for the Beginner Entrepreneur - Here, I explore the concept of entrepreneurship beyond traditional business ownership, sharing insights on how you can cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset and apply it in various contexts.
  3. How Long Does It Take to Become an Entrepreneur? - This guide addresses the common question about the timeline of becoming an entrepreneur, providing realistic expectations and tips based on my research and interviews.

I hope these articles inspire and guide you as much as they have helped me. Your feedback and thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

This how I increased my number of customers with less effort than before 👌🥇😁

Hi everyone, let me introduce myself, my name is Antonin and I'm the owner and founder of several businesses. Some have succeeded and some have failed, but one thing's for sure: responding to your customers or the community around your business has always been long and boring as hell for me and my teams.

So I asked myself how I could find a solution to all these problems that most entrepreneurs face.

So I worked and worked and worked, and ended up founding my own SaaS Agency: Arobi. The main resource I offer my customers is our software, which will enable them, among other things, to respond to all their prospects thanks to AI, automatically and instantaneously, without them having to do anything. What's more, we offer them our marketing services to save them time and money.

So the bet's on for me today: my customers and I are converting our simple leads into real customers thanks to AI in an automated way, working less and being much more efficient than before.

Today, we support and help several companies, and they're delighted! If you too think you have the same problem they had and want to solve it like they did, contact me here or directly on Whatsapp (+34 689 36 58 10).

I hope to have interested and motivated you with my story, and many of my goals are still to be achieved!

Attention all local business owners! I need your help.

I am a high school student from Vancouver conducting market research for my business class and would really appreciate it if you could fill out this short, less-than-five-minute survey: https://forms.gle/jLc5j9411kvGWiw28. I am trying to see if local businesses would be interested in free social media consulting from a Gen Z's perspective to grow their social media platforms as well as their younger audience. It would be great if you could fill this out by THIS THURSDAY, Nov. 18!

- Thanks in advance, Kylie

Vancouver's First Peer to Peer Car Share Company

Last July my friend and I started Vancouver's first peer to peer car sharing company, Carmodity.

I had lost my job and thought I'd have to choose between making rent payments and keeping my car. I would do anything not to lose the freedom of having a car and was dead set on finding a way to keep it. I only used it for a fraction of the time that it spent collecting dust, as is the case with most people. And that's when I realized my car was the missing piece of my financial puzzle. I needed to find a way to make money off my car.

That's why we started Carmodity, to rent out cars when not in use, and not let that potential income go to waste. A car collecting dust is a missed opportunity, missed potential. At Carmodity we capitalize on that income and send it to you.

We quickly discovered that facilitating car sharing was intense full-time work, so we created a service in which you have to do none of that. We take care of all of it for you. You just give us your availability, and every two weeks we send you the money your car made. You can change your car's availability anytime so you don't have to sacrifice the spontaneous freedom that your car provides.

ICBC is a nightmare, so we deal with them so you don't have to. Simply put, your car is safe, always ready when you need it, and effortlessly earning passive income when you don't. To get started or for same-day car delivery and rentals visit https://carmodity.ca/

Any feedback is recommended

Just how regulated are...

I have a question about property management entities. Other than maybe a business licence and registration with the Province, are there actually any licences, designations, or otherwise that a person must have to manage rental properties? I know many/most also double as real estate agents and I'm aware of the regulations there. One would assume the Residential Tenancy Act would outline a certain standard, but to to my knowledge there is nothing.

Looking to connect with potential co-founders

Hey All,

I am a young engineer with 2-3 work experience in technical and management domain. My company, based in Vancouver, designs and ships Class 1 Medical devices. So I have experience ranging from electronics, hardware, sw/fw design to managing the activities around delivering minimal viable products.

I am learning skills, and working towards starting my own company someday. But I am always stone-walled because of having to work alone and having no serious ideas to work on.

I am looking to connect with people who are looking for technical co-founders and are at the very early stages of startup journey. So are interested in researching and brainstorming together, but not "married" to an idea. If you are such a person please feel free to DM me. If you know of a community where I can meet such individuals in person, will greatly appreciate hearing about it.
