    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    Nah, I've done less than 100. It's not that cold-calls don't work for me. I'm not ready for them. Not yet. After a couple of days, I hit a wall – got sick (physically) and depressed (emotionally). It took me two weeks to recover. I need to address my anxiety first, that's a long term game...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    Six months have passed, whoa. Basically I'm failing. I have way too few leads. They also take MONTHS to close, so I rarely make any sales. I lost the belief that closing a deal in a couple of days is possible. I know it is, but I don't believe it any more. I must be doing something wrong, but...

    Doing the Andy Frisella "75 Hard" Challenge

    Just wait a couple of weeks. Andy has addressed that in the original podcast episode. He helped organise and then skipped a family event (father's bday?) cause he knew he's not ready to attend yet. And he did that because he knew he was building grit in the meantime. And one day he would be...

    REAL resources on self image and self belief

    NOTABLE! 
    Interesting point of view, got me thinking. My first reaction was to disagree, but the way you speak makes me think I'm missing something. Let me ask you a question before I post my doubts. How does one question and reject the internal authority (the ego)? And what makes a man or woman...

    I've just read the whole thread in one go. Thank you, @ChrisV for taking time and sharing all of that. I'm trying to figure out the next step to take. My biggest challenge: Getting focused and motivated. I've watched all the videos from Dr Howard Wetsman's channel (Ending Addiction) and it...

    That's exactly that – claustrophobia is a great analogy! I would hate to see me giving up myself, haha. After all that I've learned and figured out along the way... I do keep going. Day 47. Thank you.

    Oh wow, I didn't expect such responses. Appreciated. Yeah, a good question. What I meant is that it's become "hard" in a totally new way. Not "I need to go running but it's raining" or "I'd love some chocolate but it would break my diet". Rather "Jesus effin Christ, not another 75hard...

    Day 46 here. It's been really difficult recently. I feel annoyed, irritated, mad. I have a crazy amount of dreams about accidentally drinking coke or alcohol. I've lost the patience and want to give up. I'm bored, it's uncomfortable, I've had enough. It's no longer physically hard to do the...

    Just came home after a week of holiday with a dozen of my friends. A week full of alcohol, sweets, snacks, eating out and other temptations. A week full of activities, going to sleep late, limited access to the kitchen or fresh groceries, and little time to exercise or read. A week full of...

    My rule is this: if any part of me is saying I need to start over, I do start over. This requires honesty with yourself. Could you do something to avoid the allergen? Have you really done everything to mitigate the risk? Or was it just a random, residual amount that you could never learn about...

    @Kyle T - I can't believe I only now discovered this thread! Amazing dedication and great results. You're killing it in such a short time! You mentioned brain fogs at one point. What's helped me recently is: - giving up milk and dairy (it's about caseine, not lactose) - giving up wheat (not...

    I love how you've summarized self-control in one sentence. (Well, two sentences). It's not about not feeling the desire to eat crap at all. It's about noticing the desire, acknowledging it, taking control and letting it go. This sounds like true power to me.

    A thought just hit me. It's not *losing* or *failing* when we go back do day #1. It's the complete opposite - it's *sticking to the rule* that you need to reset the counter. It's keeping on pushing regardless of what happens. Failing would be *not* resetting the counter. Changing the rules...

    Great discussion above. We can all learn a lot from the conversation between @Yoda and @Primeperiwinkle. Thank you both. I just failed today for 9th time I think. Got me pissed off so much. Why? Because I did it again. Drank coffee with almond milk in a cafe. They use a brand that adds sugar...

    Guys and gals, a quick question. Do you recall Andy mentioning the details of the challenge in any of the other episodes? I'm second-guessing my workouts. I remember someone mentioned that he said 'lawnmowing does not count'. I sometimes choose to cycle (or just walk) to a meeting with a...

    Well, it's hard to say just by reading your post. My gut is telling me it's probably related to how you sell those free sites. Wix does not sell free websites. Their headlines in my country say 'create a dream website', 'you are capable of everything', 'feel the designer's freedom'. They're not...

    I failed once again because I have not made my diet specific enough. I was supposed not to eat stuff with lots of added sugar. What I meant was sweet yogurts, milkshakes, soft drinks... But then I ate some grated horseradish, which turned out to contain quite much sugar in the ingredients list...
