This is not a call for help, it is more like a rant about achieving goals.
It might get a bit long but I will try not to.
Have you felt like you're not gonna make it? I mean, I talk about business frequently, I like everything about it but I still haven't succeeded, and I'm the one to blame for it but I truly believe I am a "businessman".
One main thing that I'd like to talk about here is about our goal, our why. This is what will take you from where you are from where you wanna go but what if you have divergent goals?
Alright, even though I love being anonymous on the internet I will bring it down. Maybe nobody will care and I will delete this position tomorrow but...
I'm Brazilian born and raised and even though I acknowledge that it is a cool place to visit it is by no means a cool place to live. Which brings me to my why. One thing that makes me function is my goal to live permanently in a first world country. Not that I fancy it being easy but life in a first world country is way better as we all know.
I'm currently living in one of those countries - temporarily - and I'm hustling so one day I can be a resident. This is possible but takes time, money and perseverance. This goal of mine is bigger than opening a business (which doesn't mean that my will to be an entrepreneur is low) but I'm constantly questioning myself about it. I mean, I'm getting closer to acquire my residence, I'm educating myself, I'm becoming skilled and improving my language skills so I can be more valuable to the country that I want to immigrate (which are some of the requirements) but I feel like I have it harder. At the moment I'm studying from distance at uni, working full time, I have the house chores and it is difficult to make time and "escape" from my reality to seek my business ventures.
I tried a few things since I first read the Millionaire Fastlane and unscripted and even though I made some bucks nothing came close to a real business.
Last month I was browsing some local websites that were shitty and decided to do something about it. I have tried it back in Brazil last year (with no success) and as I'm studying CS I know how to build websites well. After contacting a few of them with no luck I felt that maybe I should focus on my migration plan (that will take a few more years) and then maybe I do it again.
I know that some of you might be thinking that if I create a successful business I will be able to migrate to virtually any country in the globe but migrating while on the rat race feels more tangible at the moment
