Anyone here wish they started a business sooner in life? I'm 19 and I've got about 15 clients in on my small biz. I'm making good money and I'm thinking of dropping out of uni (computer science) to scale up... I'll probably end up doing it but I just want to know if older people will find me cringey because of my age (yes I'm 19 but I look more like 16).
Halp.

Your ass ain't gonna handle 15 clients forever. This bubble will pop eventually. Get your degree debt free and it's always a backup.

Yeah, education is always something to fall back on, but my family are rather first world poor, the money could help and if everything goes well, God knows what could happen... Millionaire maybe? I hope so.

Let's put it in perspective since you come from a background lacking of wealth. Do you know what tax on a million dollars is? About $350,000. Being a millionaire isn't a cake walk.

If you truly have clients and want to scale, you hire someone else to handle the extra work, you don't do it yourself forever. Don't drop out unless they're serious clients though.

Do not budge one micrometer when it comes to age, especially if you can deliver. Just tell it like it is.
>Okay if you want to find someone older who will charge you out the ass for what I offer, go right ahead.
you win either way because if they were indeed a piece of shit, they are going to give you shit about it forever and you'll just want them to cancel. If they were going to be a good client and can't get over the age thing, hire someone old just to do sales and never meet them in person.

Especially if your business has anything to do with technology. Fuck old people and their quantum bullshit, you're always either "too old to be tech inclined" or "too young to know how business works".

I already pay taxes, I think that if I ever get to the point of making ~1m+, I'll hire a damn good accountant to help me

That's why you invest and diversify before you become a millionaire. Also have part of your cashflow coming in from non taxable investments and try to minimize your income on paper to get the most lucrative and sensible tax brackey. Having 1 million in liquid cash is pants on head retarded.

Thanks for the advice my man, I work with other small businesses mainly, no b2c shit, so they are generally pretty solid clients, some have tried to fuck me over but I just drop them, not before I take atleast a grand out of their pockets though :)

Since you brought up investment, what would you say is decent for someone with ~60k to drop. I know jack shit about stocks and I grew up in a "stock market is rigged, stock market is gambling, mug Jews" family, I was thinking property in the UAE (Dubai) because I know some people over there and I speak Arabic (did it in HS and just learned the rest on my own)

>mug Jews
Fuck autocorrect, meant "muh"
