Ask HN: Successful entrepreneurs and indie hackers, enlighten me

3•markosn•1h ago
Successful entrepreneurs and indie hackers, I'm curious about where your best idea(s) came and what your own path looks like.

- I just turned 18 and finished school and I'm about to get into a university for engineering in Greece. - I have some pressure for inside to build wealth despite not needing it to survive. - I have many interests including programming, spearfishing, financial markets, computing, building in general (software and/or hardware). I have a large list of pain points, ideas, things missing from the world (~500 items) with probably at least 10 items that could be monetized and that I would genuinely love to build.

The questions I have are the following: 1. What did/does your path look like? I'd appreciate having something for reference. Did you work a job? Are you self-taught?

2. Do you have any advice?

3. Was working together with someone the key to your success? Did you do it solo?

4. What would you do if you had to start over?

5. Do you feel like you'd be better off studying something else at university, if applicable?

I'm not sure why they'd feel that when they're already successful?

Ideas multiply execution.

Doing is more important than thinking and sometimes doing means you not only empty the trash can, but carry it to the dumpster and jump up and down in a full dumpster so your trash will fit.

Or to put it another way, working is more important than avoiding work. Because working is the only way work gets done. Good luck.
