Make a bucket list and cross them off as you can. Google to read others to get some inspiration on what you would like to see and do.

Focus on growing/ expanding/ automating your business (If its not everything you want/need it to be)

Invest in yourself and your personal development. Anything you want to improve in yourself (physically/mentally/emotionally) and in your life make a list and focus on that.

Congrats and good luck to you.

Another business. I get bored easily. It's also the source of my #3 regret in life.

Last summer I got to a point where my business was running to a point where I only did maybe 15 minutes of 'work' every day (skype call). I spent the rest of my time and money eating out (every single day...), working out and playing computer games. I got arrogant (I even said that I'll never need a job again haha). I was bored and lazy, was sleeping 10 hours a day, gained 10 pounds of fat, and within the next 2 months everything fell apart. I ran out of money (had no savings), sales stopped, and I hit a wall. I wasn't even making a lot of money, that's the sad thing.

I then quickly realized: with the time and money I made, I could have very easily started something new and grew it to make my 'ghetto fabulous' lifestyle more sustainable. I could have worked on my current business a bit more to make more money. Now I'm back at square one, and it's all my fault.

Lesson learned.

If you're set-set, then I'll tell you what I would do in that position... (I'm 21)

I'd focus on "human" things. I'd just slow down and connect with a lot of people. I'd walk on the streets and start a friendly conversation with someone new at least once a day. Then, I'd do the same again, but start at least one flirty conversation with someone new everyday.

Maybe do it while recording video at all times (or most of the time) so eventually a film can be made. Just explore other people's lives because it will introduce you to many new things, ideas, etc. The thought of leaving college has been on my mind a lot lately, but what's been really cool is meeting a variety of different people. I think I'll stay though and this always happens with me, haha.

Anyways, maybe with all those conversations with people a need (one that maybe has a lot of emotion attached to it) could be identified or an idea could be generated...

Then start another business serving that need or with that idea.

P.S. I'd definitely do a lot more than just that, but that's all what came to my mind first.

P.P.S. If you're serious, definitely a HUGE congratulations to you! :tiphat:

Basically, what I do is consider an apocalypse style situations, and what skillsets I'd need to survive. Even if it never happens, it's a nice theme to keep me doing things I'm interested in (learning stock exchange never entered my list)

Things like:
  • Gardening
  • Beekeeping
  • Archery
  • Tailoring
  • Beer brewing
are what interest me and are on my list. However, the things that (for me) would come first involve starting video/audio content shows... since that's really what "keeps me going".

Hell, you can even mix these things together in cool and interesting ways. Grow deadlynightshade, get your bees to harvest it (for some psychoactive honey?) and see what happens when you brew that into some mead.

It's funny how I can already do that. I'll try to make it a habit. :)

Also, I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but it's good to see the responses either way. Plus it's a good thought experiment.

I'd post on the INSIDERS about my venture - motivate others through the success I've found.

Write an eBook - '2 Hour Work Day to Riches'

I'd start investing in property asap. Buy a few units, rent them out.

Repeat process.

Eventually move completely into the property game.


I don't know if it's a troll post or not. Never seen your name before.

Also 22 slowly getting old? Time is man made. We don't get old, we grow.

The reason I don't buy the money situation is because someone capable of earning a lot of money is some capable of making their own decisions. Why live someone else's life? Do what you want to do.

Just because someone has a good business going doesn't mean they're perfect in all areas of their lives. He was simply asking for suggestions on how to use all this extra time he suddently has that he didn't prior, you can easily find yourself not knowing what to do in a situation like that but you won't know what it's like before you experience it for yourself.

looking to go in few months. Bangkok? Chang Mai?

For me it's Bangkok and Phuket.
Couldn't have asked for a better time.

Checking out Koh Phi Phi is a must.

I know nothing about your business or financial situation, but I'd personally start using your free time to consider what would happen if your current business was suddenly obsolesced.

Would it be a minor setback or inconvenience or would you be gasping for life like a fish out of water (like all those SEO guys who lost everything overnight from google updates because they thought the train ride would never end).

That's personally the question I would ask. And if you are truly kicking that much a$$ that boredom is your only problem - good job!
