    EXECUTION 
    Wow - this is a real insight into self-publishing. I've written for years but never gone for it. Your output is fantastic, 2k words a day is excellent. Are you on BlueSky? It's the new Twitter/X. It has excellent engagement and a huge writing community.

    From a female perspective, this entire thread is fascinating. @AceVentures I love the sauna episode - nice self-discipline in dealing with someone who was literally begging for drama. And even if he didn't realise it at the time, nice role modelling to someone who needed it of how a man should...

    I'm in the UK so my benefits (which I am temporarily reliant on and have only just had finalised) have to be balanced with taking any job that will end those benefits and end the fact that I am currently signed off work due to mental health issues. I don't want to jump off the pier and then...

    Do you mean business-wise? In my personal life/finances I can find a ton of things. Get a full financial picture. Cancel expenses I don't need. Find things I can sell to clear the decks and help tide me over. In terms of generating income... I am staring at a blank whiteboard right now. Look...

    Like: have a shower today? (I don't usually lol). It's not an excuse. My life and mental health were smashed to pieces. I will rebuild it. But you are right that results will help heal. This is a good point.

    I will be vigilant about whether or not I am making excuses. I know where I am now is the worst place I've ever been. I meant that the disappointment of not being able to afford more on a budget was life in the slowlane. I have 100% been living on the sidewalk in recent years. Hence the debt.

    Following this. I am thinking I need to sell almost eveything I own to raise some funds and get rid of my endless distractions to creating a solid business!

    @BizyDad I am not great at dealing with mistakes, so that is something I am going to have to watch myself on. Thanks for the heads up on that. @ZCP I will take action. First, I have to fix the broken/leaking foundation of my health and current situation. Thank you for reminding me that it's...

    I'm not exactly sure how this works - it looks like many threads just continue with more posts, so I'll check in here for my own accountability until I have something more relevant to say/ask. I have to get off the sidewalk as a matter of urgency. I always thought I was a sensible slow-lane...

    Yes, mortgage and unsecured debt. Lost confidence is a big factor at play here - I will work on rebuilding that base first, as I know that's the key thing that's missing. Thank you.

    Thank you Thank you. Lots of things I can do and the time for self-pity is over now (it got a lot of mileage). No more excuses. I have none left.

    Wow! Well done on the one year sober, that’s an incredible achievement. And you are totally right - at 98 I want to look back on post-50 life as something positive and productive. So the time to make that happen has to be now.

    Thank you so much. Good to know I am not the only one here who has been sold the education-job-retirement plan. Let's both end up somewhere much better than that.

    Thank you for sharing these. I have definitely been conditioned to believe I have to learn something before I can do it. I like the question: what can I do to make a sale this week? It clears the noise. And perhaps is exactly where I need to start when I know what I'm going to do. And I thought...

    Thank you... I have a lot of transferable skills from my corporate work. Design, writing, software. I'm sorely lacking in leadership/business acumen. I've applied for a place on a govt funded marketing course to start in the new year. Whatever I decide to do, marketing skills are key to...

    I will wish you an early happy birthday for tomorrow! 16th December is a great day for a birthday. Thank you for the compliment on my writing. It's the one thing I've always loved to do - I still have dreams of being a famous author (have done ever since I was a child). I know I need to take...

    Thank you ☺️ A couple of things I need to tackle first. Cutting out the hours of evening TV and drinking wine to block out a life I don't want to deal with. I've applied for a govt-funded course in marketing which I am hoping to start after xmas. Whatever I decide to do, the marketing knowledge...

    Hello, This might be a long one, bear with me. I’ve just started reading the Millionaire Fastlane for the second time. I read it years ago, but I was busy with life and young kids and never consistently acted on it. I can’t even remember what prompted me to pick it up again this morning. A...
