I am crying. I am literally in the same position. no money no nothing. I even didn't have a bank account. but I want to start a business and I will not give up I needed this. 0 can be equal to 1 because what he has is the determination to do anything.
This resonated with me well. I went back to college in 2017 to complete a degree, I am now 39 years of age and basically starting with zero in my field of study. Each day, my faith changes and I'm optimistic. The road may be bumpy but I will definitely give it a try and each time theres a No, I will continue to wait for a Yes.
Riley shows how enthusiasm, heart, education, and intelligence can truly create something valuable. It would have been so tragic to crush that enthusiasm with an entry level boring job!
It can be so hard to actually go out into the world and talk to random people about your wonderful idea, but Riley Csernica has inspired me to do something uncomfortable which I think will make the changes I need to grow. Thank you Riley and thank you TEDx Talks
Thank you Riley for your idea! It has been 7 years since the video was uploaded but it still resonated with me. Explore your idea, go out and make connections and finally get to work. Just start with the one idea you have even if that is the only thing you have! That is what I got~~
That's very similar to my case. I have been studying in the last 4 years to become an English teacher. I deeply knew that it was not my field... I like more working outside like in farms and in the countryside. Lockdown made me go home and then I realized that it was time to made a decision. To drop out or to continue, that was my dilemma. I opted to drop out and start from scratch working with cattle and learning everything about the dairy industry. So far, I enjoy this new outlook on life, it's way harder and demands more commitment but in the long term, it feels like all the efforts made will make sense. I'm 22 years old feeling sometimes confused whether to continue or not but I made my decision and I'm going all for it, I do love this life in the country, I can't imagine myself somewhere else... Good luck to all those brave people that made the decision to work for their passion!
I have built 2 business out of 4th semester class project Alhamdulillah! 1 was the product i developed and other of the skill i used to develop that product! next semester i met my teacher and said i have made my first 6 figure earning and i got appreciation AlHamDulilah
In my 21's starting from zero, and I can tell you, you inspired me so much. It's so scary, it's hard not to feel like a failure but it's all worth it in the end. Thank you so much for this, for showing that we're not alone on this scary journey.
Wow, I find myself resonating with her experience deeply. We have a similar background; I was rejected a few times from overqualification. Now, starting off with no network, no money, no mentors, no product, no background to flex, I'm planning on furthering a college project I see potential in to help people in hopes to make a living off of it in the future. I'm looking forward to incorporating our business with my friend this year, at age 21. Thanks for sharing this!
@@salamb9556 Where was her story. We could not see a picture of her product . We do not know how she got financed for her product. How did she get the contract without ever making the product. How did she convince the hospital people to buy her product without actually having a sample ? She must have had a network. Or that lipstick really worked.
@@SafwanNet The whole point was to do it yourself. Too many are waiting to be told how to do it. You have to want to do it badly to go out there and figure it out. No one told her how to do it.
that was really motivating Riley...I am 23 yrs old And also want to start my own event management company and the thing that is holding me back is fear to loose my job, fear to face the zero ,fear to the thougyt how i am going to start from nothing but your experience was something that hit me..thankyou for sharing...
5:40 So she did not get the project and she started to "walk the walk" to produce the product. What does it mean, all that time she did not have the product when she was going for the interviews ?
So haven't read it but it's probably the story about ups I want to remind everybody that in that time $100 dollars was equal to $1700 now a days. But now it is your turn to actually built a business with $100 dollars in nowadays value. goodluck I will invest 1 dollar into you and let's see how much you can turn it into !
I’ve been feeling down because I’ve been trying a business model that doesn’t seem to work for me. I’m hyper-creative and I want to bring value to people but I can’t do it if I can’t express my true self. Being yourself is your best trademark. Let’s go !
She is trying to inspire. She did. She is trying to make you get up if your bump. She fails . You are still sitting on your bump looking for another inspiring story . We all are !
i loved your company story , you're such an inspiration , I wish I had someone to support me as you had ,you're climbing higher and higher , good luck , you already have it though
😢😢😢. You can not share your vision with those who are not interested in your project or ideas . This is the reality and frustration so silence and err on the side of caution is until it takes flight. Words that someone once expressed to me.
You just have to believe in yourself and everything will be possible. I think if you say that the reason for not being successful is your unsupportive family, it is just an excuse of you.
Will be turning 30 in about 7 months. I'm about to start a bookkeeping business. No degree. No family support. Absolutely no one to help me. Have less than $300 to my name. I'm completely alone. But I'm still optimistic I can make it. Goal is to raise my income to at least $ 1,000 a month. It's tough. But I can't quit. I have to keep going. Baby steps. I'll get there.... someday soon.
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots, in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate, this is opposed to current restaurants, thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants, along with that, there is an app people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days, menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app
We all have the same amount of time to use in one way or another. How you use your time determines what your future will be like. Considered wisely, time is actually the only thing any one of us actually "has" to invest with! Nobody has more, and nobody's time is of a different quality. So, you see, zero does not equal one, but it doesn't have to. Because nobody has zero!
I admire her, she has brains and tenacity - I have business ideas, but I do not have family back up and an ivy league education. Be good to know of any Ted talks from successful entrepreneurs that really did start at Zero.
5:40 So she did not get the project and she started to "walk the walk" to produce the product. What does it mean, all that time she did not have the product when she was going for the interviews ?
Soooooo what is the product called? How was it marketed? Who now manufactures it? How much does it cost to make? What is the profit margin? Where did you find the materials? How many units have you sold? Honestly, I only take advise from people who have been VERY successful. While this video is cute and semi-inspiring, it does not even give the viewer the basics. Did they set up an LLC, a sole prop? Did they patent their "invention?" Is it trademarked? How did they find their first "victim." You get the point.
Maybe the purpose of this video isnt be a "how to start guide" but to plant a seed in peoples mind that that what you want is possible. And if only 1 person create a dream job thanks to this video then this a good video. If you think otherwise i invite you to make a better one :)

No image of the product, the office, the hockey player. No name for the product. Nothing but 0=1 and "believe me because I said it"
You can do it.... no excuses! You just need to start.
