My friend just came from working at her sister's restaurant and was telling me how hard of a day it was, and how they are struggling with employee turnover. Then it got me thinking, what if there was an app that corporate workers could use to pick up shifts at other struggling businesses? Would you ever use it?

Since last year, my electric bill has spiked by over $200 (currently $500/month). This is way bigger than the gas issue, and no one is covering it. I am having to turn on only one monitor at a time to save costs.

I know the summers in Texas have been hot with the Air Conditioners, but this spike is unbelievable.

As a kid, my goal has always been to be on the Forbes list of 30 under 30, and I have 10 years left to achieve this goal. But I keep asking myself if I am doing enough.

4 years ago, I taught myself how to code and got started instantly, mostly contract jobs that turned out into big opportunities.

3 years ago in my first year of college at 17, in order to get more contracts, I created a software development agency and made websites for local businesses in my area.

1 year ago I transitioned from the agency business into my first marketplace company, an auction marketplace. I was losing money on small sales from payment processors and ads, as I had promised the users a 0% buyer's premium. I was also the main seller, so I was selling at a loss when the auction closed. The business was closed at the beginning of this year.

This year, I transitioned from the auction marketplace, to create a market research app that's based entirely on polls and the data we gather from people voting. Then I also got a job to keep funding these projects.

What should I be doing better to hit my goal in 10 years, I feel like I am on the right track but missing something else entirely.
