Entrepreneurship series I: reviews of companies and products that appeared on Shark Tank or Kickstarter

Hi guys,

This is the first article of a series of 10 posts on entrepreneurship. This series will cover many angles of entrepreneurship and its main goal is to shed some light on various angles of entrepreneurship, business and connect that with early retirement.

As I said before (LINK), I started to believe that my businesses can actually play a role in my early retirement. Although I don’t monetize my blog aggressively, as I want to keep it clean, it has attracted tons of investors worldwide, which eventually become clients of my real estate company. My real estate company has made considerable money so far, and I believe I could scale it to a 300k in revenue in the next 2 years and 1 million in the next 6 years. I also wrote a post a few months ago, on the what I would do, should I wake up 10 years younger. If you read that post, you know that I actually regret having done a PhD, simply because that prevented me from becoming an entrepreneur.

This being said, I believe that being an entrepreneur is an excellent way to buy your way to an early retirement. However, being an entrepreneur is not easy. Your social life disappears, you start working way more hours than you would if you worked for somebody else, etc. In particular, your company goes through very hard times, where cash becomes tight, where you (and your partners) need to do everything from writing code to PR. You can’t stop. You can’t stop thinking and working. Your company becomes your baby and your life.

In this series of entrepreneurship, I will review some companies, products, business models, etc. The goal is to teach you very important angles of business and the connection with early retirement.
