February was the first month were I really embark on entrepreneurship. I realize I have extreme issues with wanting fast-results and laziness, and behind that lingering procrastination. Recipe for disaster. Oh, and I let myself go for the last two weeks.

Beauty Business: Did not do the proper research for the best way to create products. So I wasted a whole month, wasted 500 dollars on the wrong production methods. I am chucking it up as learning curve, but I don’t want to hit 0.

Good thing: I finally found the right production method, but now it’s going to cost me another 200 dollars. I now don’t want to spend more money on the right things… but I have to do it. I can't quit after sinking in so much up-front costs, and the market is lucrative.

I can’t talk about the new house much, except that my brother is going to do a lot of repairs. He was thinking of us living in it, but really that’s just idiotic since he doesn’t have a job to help with the bills. I’ll just end up putting myself in the poorhouse because at first it would seem to be fun. I need to make this current place work.

My brother is like a child, and I don't know what to do about it. One day he is excited about an idea and the next day he'll literally destroy my idea. I'll pitch in capital into the idea, and he'll just F it up.

-----------------
I come to the conclusion that my family consists of stupid people, realizing that, I need to ignore them for the idiots they are.

I come to the conclusion that I am stupid too... It's horrible knowing this truth. I was thinking, it must be horrible for a mentally disabled person to know how stupid they really are..

All my fears, hopes, and success lay on these people who really don't care about me? I must be an idiot.
--------------

I am a total action-faker now with college. I’m using all my energy/time trying to get this college thing to work, and really it’s not going anywhere worthwhile… I need another year to get AA since I only have half the credits.. I am at the point to give-up on it, since you can't make money with an AA, and just put all my focus on entrepreneurship endeavors. There's like this invisible ticking clock, and I should had accomplish this thing already, and I haven't, so I need to move on.
