Took the entrepreneur route to help my parents retire and enjoy life since they just slave away and rarely enjoy life coming from a low-middle class family of immigrants. I'm approaching late 20's and still no progress and I'm starting to panic cause they are getting old and I dont want to be too late. Panicking. Anyone in the same boat?

You can make a ton of money working a regular job. You don’t need to be an entrepreneur to make a lot of money.
In reality if your parents were relying on you, a regular job would have been a much better bet.
A lot more risk going at it on your own, and most people don’t make any money.
I’m 30 being doing my business for one year now full time. Building a business is about fulfilment not just about money, so for me it’s the long game. I too want to retire my parents, but I’m creating my business the way I want to.
I could do it faster by investments from people but I’m the captain of the ship, so I choose not to go down that route.
I’d probably get a job.
33 here. Depends on how far you have gotten in the journey.
If you’ve tried and failed for 5 years straight and your new idea is a todo-app, but with AI, then reconsider a safer route (you’re not too late).
If you’re in year 2 of a promising project, with the right people, the right product, and a clear goal in sight, then keep going.
I’m yet to make my first sale (very slow niche to enter), and in april it will be 2 years since my last proper paycheck, but have plenty of people backing and some investing in the vision. That is the only thing that keeps me going.
all of these people are giving horrible advice. just keep swimming bro, the difference between people who make it and people who dont, is consistency, discipline, and motivation. if you see that life for yourself, dont stop, you are still young, dont let anyone convince you otherwise, 99% of the people in this sub are 9-5ers larping as entrepreneurs. you got this bro, dont give up, think about the life you want for yourself and your parents, and dont let a damn soul get in your way.
