Its been some months i contacted him also. Time to ask how his cheesecakes are.
This is why we all keep coming back to the forum. Thank you for your feedback. Thank you to all the contributers in this thread.
Well, let's go piece by piece.
I took a quick look through your threads just now.
Your intro:
INTRO - Hello, I'm lost right now. I'd love advice.
Hey all. I’m not sure if if I should be posting this in my introduction but I need advice right now. I’m 19. I just finished my first year of university studying business. I have no idea what I’m doing with my life right now. A few years ago, I read books like The Millionaire Fastlane , and...www.thefastlaneforum.com

EXECUTION - 19 year old's entreprenuerial journey starting from the bottom
I first read TMF 2 or 3 years ago. During this time, I have not made progress in terms of financial independence. However, I have done things like go from a skinny-fat socially awkward teenager to a person who regularly goes to the gym and who is comfortable talking to people. But I want more. I...
You had a minimum wage job as a dishwasher and landed a better-paying job that allowed you to work from home on a company laptop. This sounds like a dream to give you the flexibility to pursue entrepreneurship.
The job apparently brought you good things.
You don't have a clear goal and don't really know how to set one.
Your schedule is not very disciplined.
You do have high expectations for yourself.
You realize that you need discipline and work ethic.
You've actually had a bunch of really good contacts with potential mentors.
You experience a fair amount of anger at times. This reduces your ability to produce.
You've asked for a fair amount of advice.
HOT! - Saved up 3 thousand dollars and I don't want to make a mistake. Looking for advice.
I'm 19. Been working during the summer. I have saved up about 3 thousand dollars. However, I've very tempted to spend half of that on a shitty car, another 5 hundred dollars on some clothing (since I have absolutely no wardrobe), and the other thousand on other things I want (such as getting a...IDEA - Would like some feedback on this business idea
Hi all, The other day I was talking with some friends when I came up with a business idea. For context, I'm a college student. I asked myself: "What is something that all college students want?". They want to have access to parties and social events. I thought, why not create an app that...IDEA - FTE - What to do after you have an idea?
So I know this question is extremely basic. I've read both of MJ's books. But can someone please explain to me what it is that I need to do exactly after I have an idea. Currently, I have an idea for a website/app/social platform. It's very unique. There's nothing like it after doing a little...EXECUTION - Next Steps for my Online Business?
I created an online business with my cofounder a few weeks ago. I'm 20, he's 21.

We have also had a chance to speak with a lot of people...Legal Question - Someone building our website for free
I started an online business a few weeks ago. The long-term vision of the business is to have it become some sort of a social platform. For now, however, we just want to create a website. An acquaintance/friend of mine has agreed to create the initial website for us for free. My cofounder...
You started a business! Yay!

That was April 22, 2020.
By April 28, you and your cofounder had already decided to part ways.
On May 4, you were still excited about the business and asking about how to build your social media presence.
SOCIAL MEDIA - MARKETING - Launch coming up. How do I build a social media presence?
I started an online business about a month ago. The long-term vision is to have it become a social platform. It's a minimal viable product (MVP). We are trying to launch as soon as we can. I believe that before we launch, we first need to create buzz, and creating a social media presence. What...
By May 6, you were losing interest. You're not even really sure why or what to do about it.
And on May 12, you shared your observation that you work better with others.
I Can't Work Alone... Only With Others
I've noticed that I can't work alone. I start thinking instead of doing. I start over analyzing every single decision and start doubting myself. But when I work with others, or with a partner, everything is put into perspective. It's almost as though I don't want to let my partner down, or my...
Here's what stands out to me the most from all this. This is the common thread I see running through your posts.
I think you struggle with self-motivation. And that defeats your progress, which leads to self-hatred and beating yourself up.
(I say this out of kindness, not out of accusation or "piling on" to the self-beating you're already giving yourself. I am very similar. I know how it feels. I know how frustrating it can be to just not be able to MAKE YOURSELF DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST.)
So - here are some practical thoughts that I think can help you get out of the negative feedback loop you're currently stuck in, and change it for a positive one.
[edit: This posted prematurely while I was still fleshing out my thoughts on #2]
- You will likely continue to experience failure and frustration until you man up and develop self-discipline. It is urgent that you do this now. Otherwise, you could end up twice your age, still leaning on other people to crack the whip over you to get you to produce. 40-year-old you WILL NOT FIND THIS FUN. I would recommend a dopamine fast to kick off the process. Hike the Appalachian Trail or something. Get yourself outdoors and away from devices and TV, at least for a few days. Detox your brain from the dopamine drip you've been feeding it. Dig up the soil and plant a garden. Whatever. Interact with the physical world, not the digital one, for a few days.
- Design a setup where you can START winning and KEEP winning. Find the smallest possible WIN that contributes to your goals. In your old execution thread, your "WIN" that you were working for was "Making a sale." No. Break it down further than that. What do you need to do prior that sale, in order to lead up to a sale? Who do you need to BE in order to get that sale? Maybe you say, "OK, my win will be waking up at 6:00 AM every day for a week." No. Break it down even further, because waking up like that is not going to be a slam dunk. So you say, OK, my win will be waking up ONCE at 6:00 AM. No. Break it down even before that. Because you'll be going to bed too late to get up at 6:00 AM. So you say, "OK, my win will be to go to bed by 9:00." But then, you're not going to be tired at 9:00, so you're going to be tempted to stay on your computer. So you back up to the REAL step. "OK, my win will be that every time I catch myself wasting time on a distraction, IN THAT SAME MOMENT, I'm going to STOP and do something productive." (Define what it is so it's concrete. Also define a reward, and deliver that reward to yourself consistently. Even if it's just a silly reward like one chocolate chip.). NOW you're on track. This is defining your wins in a direction that will serve you.
- Verbal thrashings will not make you more productive or more motivated. What you're trying to do is alternatively hype yourself up into action (works for a while and then fails) and then scold yourself for not acting up to your standards (works for a while and then fails). This is not the solution.
- There may be a biological component to what you're experiencing. The way you describe yourself sounds similar to ADHD. Read about the executive function in the brain. Your executive function is the part of you that says, "OK, I'm going to do this now." You maybe be struggling to get the executive function to turn on. If this is the case, there are two easy ways to self-medicate. Try experimenting with yourself with these two things to see if it helps. One is caffeine. Try drinking coffee shortly before doing a task you struggle with. See if this improves your ability to DO what you've DECIDED to do. The second one is vigorous exercise (whatever level of physical exertion that will leave you breathless and sweating). Try exercise immediately before you sit down to do something that requires focus.
- There may be a psychological component to what you're experiencing. I suspect depression. There is so much help to be found in therapy, and the outcome can be removing that mysterious inner "boredom" that causes you to reject idea after idea.
- There may also be an inner resistance to the idea of what "working" and "adulthood" means. I have had to deal with this. Everything on the inside of me would be screaming, "NO! I don't consent to this. I want to be GREAT! I want to do things that are COOL! I want to be amazing! I reject drudgery! I reject monotony. I'm not ok with the next few decades of my life being dedicated to toiling and slaving away." It can be very difficult to come to terms with this, square your shoulders, look work in the face, and say, "OK. This is my existence until I make it. Deal." Work is not fun or pretty or sexy. It's the RESULTS of work that we like. As children, we enjoyed the results of our PARENTS' work without having to put in the work. As adults, we don't get to skip ahead to the results. It's a rude awakening.
I will write one in the coming days. I have not given up.
This is an answer to a question I didn't even have the words to ask. ThanksI took a quick look through your threads just now.

Awesome report! Congrats on starting the YouTube channels and building the daily habit of filming yourself for the more informal channel. Also, congrats on working on one habit at a time! That's a great idea, and I'm very happy to hear that you've been getting some wins with a consistent wake up time. Keep up the great work!
Thanks man!
Okay so for the longest time I thought I didn't have adhd, and that my lack of action was always a result of laziness or whatever. But I did some research on it today and I might actually have it. Things are starting to click.
I think this one of my biggest issues. I remember reading somewhere on the forum that the first year or two of entrepreneurship are the most difficult because you're overhauling your entire thought process. And a huge part of that is resisting the temptation to be selfish or rush the process because you aren't seeing consistent income, especially as an early (and likely broke) entrepreneur. Focusing on the value rather than the $$$ takes trust and belief in the process.
