A millennial seeking advice

[Humble Fastlaner]

Hi fastlaners, I am an ambitious yet somewhat directionless 25-year-old seeking for your advice. Two years ago, I quit my job and hopped on the entrepreneurial journey. Over these past 2 years, I've been jumping from one stuff to another, didn't persist on anything that I initially started. I saw this problem in myself and spoke to my closest friend about it. One of the questions he asked that got me thinking was this: "You can persist on working out every weekday morning, but what can't you bring that persistency into your work/business?". I gave it a thought and this is what I realized...

The reason why I can put in the work every single morning was that I know I am on the right path. I know that as long as I persist, I will see the result and reach my goal. However, with entrepreneurship, it's different for me because I am not even sure if the chosen path was right. I don't know if this thing I do will be able to get me to where I want. And this kind of thinking has made me constantly question myself as I work on something and ended up jumping from one stuff to another. I guess I'm afraid of putting in too much effort and wasting my time in the wrong "path".

Can anyone give me some advice? What should I do?

I appreciate your help! Thank you!!
