Hello everyone,
today I am starting my accountability thread.
My intro was two months ago: INTRO - From bank savings lane, to slowlane to fastlane attitude
, but a lot has happened in that time.
I read Noah's book, went traveling with my girlfriend and changed my job.
If I want to work on something to create value, I need the will, energy and time to do it. With the new employer, there is less greed and its negative consequences, so I can get my work done more quickly and still have energy left at the end of the day!
I have also used this energy to produce.
I created my first online course and got 7 buyers in two weeks.
Is this a million dollar business on its own? No, probably not. But I am happy, because I've started.
For the first time, thanks to newly created value, I have found buyers alongside 9 to 5 jobs.
Commandment of Control is violated, Commandment of Entry possibly too.
But Need, Time and Scale are given.
But I wanted to start something on the side that had value and see if I could keep it up until the first release.
Books on habits were very helpful. I created a table with negative and positive habits. The idea is to reduce the left-hand side with the bad habits to a temporal minimum.
I have even read a few self-hypnosis books. This is a wonderful way to dissolve negative thoughts, even if they are justified: You get the energy to actively work on problems and worries (your own and others) to resolve them.
When I changed jobs, I also had days off to look at what was important to me and what wasn't!
In doing so, I realized how dangerous the Slowlane is. It promises you that you don't have to do anything anymore because you have enough. But this actually demotivates you over time, as you train yourself into bad habits.
So I know that I want to generate value because it keeps me fit. As things stand at the moment, I don't want to retire later in life, I want to continue working with value. I see the stock market more as an opportunity to park a value that has already been achieved, but If I rely on it solely as a brake on my own further development.
For me, the daily journey (not someday) has become more important than any redemption through retirement.
@noahkagan , @Andy Black and @MJ DeMarco place great emphasis on Now, not How.
What I've also done is simply talk to people on the bus and ask them what's missing in their lives to get business ideas. What they all have in common is: vacation. And you need time and money for that. I think they are just looking for the feeling of vacation and not the original.
The real vacation just steers them into recovery and I think they can have the good feelings of relaxation beforehand and then use those to work on achieving the real vacation.
I'm currently working on a guide as a product to capture the feeling of vacation.
To keep the ball rolling, I'm currently writing a diary about this journey.
The idea is to use it alongside this accountability thread to reflect and healthily sort out thoughts and thus keep at it. Basically, I pour my overthinking into the book, stimulate creativity and my own commitment and then have free thoughts to move forward.
