Hello! I am a 20 year old student that thinks is working on a business. I didn't see much use in making a progress thread until I read this thread which made me question my actions and came to the conclusion that I just can't answer this question myself. Am I action-faking?
Alright, current situation: I am in my last year of bachelor's degree in Computer Science at a University in Romania. I worked as an intern for about 8 months (From February through September this year, 5 months part time and another 3 full time). At the beginning this was amazing, but, as I started learning about the fastlane I decided I should start working on something else. I am currently unemployed, living on my own, hard-earned money (from my job and school).
During the summer I tried a few silly things that, after working and investing a little bit on them, decided they're not for me (creating funny videos on a youtube channel and forex trading).
About 4 weeks ago I started working on creating online courses in a niche I know needs it. I've been doing consistent progress on this, but not to a degree that I felt satisfied. (I've been doing very little work each day). My plan is to create a course and post it on an online teaching platform by March 1st next year.
I will be posting weekly updates on this, please tell me your opinion, am I action-faking? What am I doing wrong? And, where can I improve? (Constructive criticism is welcomed)
Since this is a progress thread, I'll be posting my progress for the past 4 weeks on the first post, right here:
Thank you for reading!

Since this is a progress thread, I'll be posting my progress for the past 4 weeks on the first post, right here:
- Week 1) The absolute first thing I have to do, before teaching anything, is learn it myself. That's what I did.
- Watched about 10 hours worth of video tutorials. Did as much work as I could to learn everything there was to learn in these videos.
- Setting up some of the software also took a decent amount of time this week.
- Week 2)
- Started learning a lot more things that weren't available in many tutorials.
- Created a list of topics for the first course and lots of notes on how I can improve on what others have done so far
- Week 3)
- Continued learning almost every day
- Tested the recording, and, at the end of the week recorded my first intro lesson.
- Week 4)
- Re-re-re-re-recorded the intro as I was encountering many issues and, being my first time doing this, lots of mistakes were made.
- Started watching a lot of videos about teaching online (this one might just be action-faking, although, I was doing this whenever I felt tired)
- Started working on actual material (presentations, images, etc.) for the course.
- Next goals:
- Create scripts and see if they are useful
- Record the next lesson
Thank you for reading!
