For about two years I have been jumping ships.
Starting something -> not getting immediate crazy results -> quitting -> starting something else.
Just like 99% of everyone else.

I've seen posts of people who have spent over a decade jumping between ideas. Remaining stuck in an endless loop of impatience.

I won't let that happen to me.

I have been reading so many progress threads, of people who went from exactly the same circumstances as me to the Fastlane.

This will be my progress thread. My journey there.


Something almost every successful person (from threads I've read) have done - is stick to one thing.
They chose something, and stuck with it until it worked.
Sure, later on they added on more services/features and made small pivot - but always within the same industry,
They maintained momentum.

The difficult part is holding your promise. Every day for years.


Step 1: Commiting.

What. Path. Do. I. Choose.
