Hey guys I have been on here a few months now after reading the book and have also moved across the world from Ireland to Vancouver in Canada. I am currently working full time in a warehouse and trying to build something on the side. I am always coming up with ideas but sometimes lack the ability to code it or create all of it alone, one such idea is at www.georound.com which is a test idea for 3D place markers videos on maps.
In the past 2 weeks I got sick of trying to build the next best thing and started getting serious about my shopify store, it was going good for a while but today when I went to add more products I felt like I have no real interest in this side business, I enjoy the creation and design part but the selling products from China part feels boring and dull. There are guys making big money using this system and all it takes is some patience and focus.
Im not sure where to go fom here? I might have to power through the shopify store until I see some success and that will probably drive me on. If you guys experienced anything similar with ecommerce or whatever let me know! Cheers.
Focus is the key. It sounds like you're all over the place.
It's not always fun to become successful. You have to be driven by your vision of your future life.
Try what I do - set all your desktop, laptop, cell phone backgrounds to a slideshow of the experiences and material things you want.
Everywhere I look, I see reminders of what I'm working towards.
From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, I'm scheming or busting my a$$ to get close to those things.
The work isn't fun, but it's fun to get closer to my goals.
Once you know your goals, you can make a plan for the best 1-3 ways to reach them.
Then just pick one, and go hard for as long as it takes.
There aren't really any secrets, you just have to know what you want and go after it every moment of the day with as much hunger as a starving wolf.
Decide your goals.
Pick the best idea you have.
Focus on ONE thing.
Bust your a$$ (it will take years, not weeks or months).
The years are going to pass anyway.
Do you want to be old and poor?
Old, and unhappy with how you've spent your life, but unable to change it?
That last prospect is so terrifying to me that I will sometimes bolt awake in the early hours and start working on my business.
Find your FIRE, find your FEARS, and use them to create FOCUS, then WORK EVERY DAY on it for YEARS.
It's almost hard NOT to succeed, if you can stick to that and never give up.
Good luck bro!
