Everyone ready to have an explosive 2018?

I feel 4 steps behind like I'm in 2014...

Just like @JackEdwards with the job he had in the late 80's/90's. 29, no career, no business, a shitty job that BARELY makes end meat, and life seems like a dark tunnel with no possibility of light. MJ said knowing is half the battle, and even though I understand fastlane principles, my execution has been worse than letting a 2 year old change the oil on a Ferrari.

Last year I started a small side business that made around to $500-600/month, but it violated what MJ Explained in unscripted (it was a trend, and profits as of today have dwindled/become commoditized). I've been having a hard time find another need.

I know I've screwed up and in a rut. I guess what I'm looking for is just help to get in the right direction. The information on this forum has been incredible, and I'm glad to be in a environment that supports entrepreneurship. It's just hard to see things clearly when you wake up to bills on bills.

Thanks in advance to any advice, suggestions, kick in the a$$, etc.
