I feel overwhelmed...

[Deleted48496]

I don't know if I should start adding 'value' in myself by learning skills like coding, so I can become a freelancer, or have a valuable skill which would help me in future as i'll have something to offer. OR my main focus should be on learning stuff like marketing, SEO etc? i'm thinking to achieve this by starting with affiliate marketing or dropshipping.

Can anyone give me advice/thoughts on this? How should I start my journey? I CANT WAIT.

I think it is better to focus on only one thing. If you don't have money , learn skills increase value and get paid.

I CANT WAIT.

Oh man, you're gonna have to be a lot more patient than that.

Figure out what you want first. Set a goal. Then read up on what you have to learn. Continuously do something while learning. It's a combo.

Once you set a realistic achievable goal, don't stray from that until you achieve it.

Well all know what happens when we jump from one thing to another.

Just take action and figure it out from there. You will just suffer from analysis paralysis. You sound like a fat person who is reading books on how to lose weight, my advice would be to get your fat a$$ to the gym and start doing something, even if its walking on the treadmill. We are all in this together and we are guaranteed to make mistakes. Every path is different.

You already have the blueprint. Look at your current circumstances and adapt accordingly.

In case you haven't read the books... Don't Just Build a Business... Build A Life!

Well, the theory is simple. Your focus should be to find a need or want and try to solve it. Don't learn stuff to be prepared. Learn the stuff needed to solve problems as they appear along your journey to help people or other companies.

If you need to learn programming to solve a problem, need or want. Fine. But otherwise don't.

But theory is simple, practically is a lot harder. But hard is the opportunity!

So yeah, I've read MJ's books so the it's really his words above (the way I understand them at least).
Working on the hard stuff now. So should you! And read the books if you haven't..

I have to agree with @Maxboost on this one, if you have an idea, make a rough foundation, set a vague path, and execute it. The worst that can happen is you fail, learn from it, and do it again but better. Failure isn't just an option, it's pretty common and it's okay. Don't concern yourself so much with planning everything out, it's like planning out your teenage years when you're a toddler, there's so much that could change that it's not worth it. As long as you have a goal and make steps towards achieving it every day, you'll be fine, trust me.

I'm biased towards coding. Opens up a new way of thinking and solving problems. But agree with the others on the thread, pick something and just try. The amount of time i've spent on indecision vs. just trying something is crazy. Try it, if you dont like it, move on, but just don't continue to 'wait' or pick the 'best' thing.

There's a time for ready, fire, aim. Getting action-minded is an important shift.
