Hey guys,
A few months back I posted this thread which turned into a HOT TOPIC: HOT TOPIC - HELP! ONLY GOT 3 MONTHS TO MAKE IT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
The thread was about me as a 21 years old(now 22)...getting kicked out by my father from parent's house & having 3 months to make things happen. That thread was really helpful and helped me go in the right direction from all the responses.
Here is where I'm at now:
So here are my questions, now that I have acquired 30k from selling my old service business & have some emergency fund, how should I use these next 2 months wisely:
1. Focus the entire 2 months on landing retainer clients for my marketing business. I'd need atleast 4 clients on recurring before I can afford to live on my own in Los Angeles.
2. Get a full time job either as an SEO or Sales or maybe something else you guys recommend and try to land a job quick in the next 2 months?...(which would eat huge chunks of my time by the way from working on my business)
3. If I do go with getting a full time job...how do you guys balance alot of the things in your schedule. Working full time job, working on your business. Lifting weights 2x a week, BJJ 2x a week, and maybe 1-2 days possibly to go on dates with women or social outing so I don't drive myself insane. I have tried the full monk mode thing before back in the day where all I did was work, barely go out & it screwed me up mentally a long time ago when I was 19.
This question might sound dumb for some people....but I'm having a hard time with this question. I've thought about cutting out lifting but won't since its necessary at this point for health as well as continual strength training. BJJ I have cut down to 2x a week but to completely cut it off is scary. Maybe I'm being a bitch and should quit it for now but the idea of not feeling secure in self defense situations is unnerving and ofcourse losing all the skills I acquired so far. And then of course going out only 1-2 times a week for dates with a woman or to see a friend once a week i feel will continue to keep my mental health sane.
What do you guys think?

Here is where I'm at now:
- Sold my automated cleaning business that was bringing in $1-1200/mo in profit for about 30k (to get a quick emergency fund)
- Working on getting clients for new business...marketing agency (which is taking some time to figure out)
- I Have an extra 2 months since last time to make it happen and move out before my father comes back from his vacation (which he extended) and figures out I'm staying in his house with my mom & lil bros. So deadline is another 2 months maybe 3 months if I'm lucky
