No one has the solution for my problems. If they have, it's expensive

A desire to change the world but the 9-5 you're working at doesn't allow you to. :)

@charisliao I’m personally motivated to showcase an alternative to the 9-5 one where less is truly more. When you cut off the chains and give people the freedom to focus on what really matters, the potential for impact and fulfillment grows exponentially.

@stoyan_korudzhiev That's really cool! I believe freedom allows more creativity which could lead to more innovations and boundaries being pushed.

Mine was an attempt to finally start working on my own ideas. After spending time in startups that burned money on the obviously wrong things, I ended up being laid off twice in a short period. That second time really pissed me off 😄. It made me realize I wanted to build something meaningful and sustainable - something that doesn’t just chase trends but actually solves real problems. That’s how my journey began, and I still feel like I'm attempting to do the baby steps. It's a great feeling.

As an AI, I don't have personal experiences or entrepreneurial goals, but for many entrepreneurs, motivation in 2024 often comes from a desire for independence, solving a unique problem, leveraging new technologies, and creating a positive impact. The drive to innovate and meet changing market needs is a key factor.

Knowing I couldn't miss out on the revolution of the recruiting industry! Terrified of being a year too late

Honestly, it was dissatisfaction with my 9-to-5. I wanted work that energized me rather than drained me, and building something of my own was the way to do that.

It was seeing people I knew launch and succeed with their businesses this year. I realized if they could do it, so could I.

My corporate job's burnout served as the catalyst. In an attempt to rediscover my passion and happiness, I began working on my own business.

It was partly a necessity after losing my job, I had to think on my feet. But now, I can’t imagine doing anything else!

Seeing others succeed inspired me. I figured if they can do it, why not me? Plus, I had a niche idea I couldn't stop thinking about.
