Hey guys so the last "few" times I was here I wanted about how much I have no control in my life. Anyways I done some actionable progress to get out of that mindset.
So I got my realization when me and my brother came back from a town an hour where we live. I was all focusing on relationships and stuffs like that(important later). So I walked around town just greeting, getting numbers to date and exploring the town(kinda my 1st time being in that town and it's beautiful). Anyways long-story short, I kinda explored a lot but also learned I'm just wasting my time. Anyways told my bro that I was very dependent, don't have a job and really much of a bum and got to be more on career.
{FTE} So the reason I mentioned about "relationships" is because it was my "FTE" moment. I had a oneitis with a family friend(for those that don't know what "oneitis" is, it's like obsession), and very heartbroken when "she found someone". So while in pain, I promise myself to do something to get me atleast $20. The challenge was to prevent myself "find someone". While that was my big pain, my other real "F*ck that" was when I took care of my neighbor's lawn while he and his family were at the other side of the states. There I was focusing on how to manage this pain, until I saw these couples. The guy has a good car, he's independent, and he has freedom(Now the last 2 are my excuses to get motivated and it worked).
{Execution} Well after my neighbors came back and got paid, I wanted to go and find a job(why now I'm looking for one is a whole story by itself). This is where I started to execute. Anyways I started to update my resume, and watching ALOT of YouTube tutorials to make a good resume. I'm applying on Indeed, also as far as making a video cover letter. Also I heard the importance of LinkedIn, so I started to making one. It took some time to make one, but I finally did made one, not perfect but it's pretty good. I'm also getting some traffic(not getting emails just yet but getting there). Also focusing alot on networking, my goal is to get a job as close as possible.
While looking for a job, I accidently found out that you could torrent Udemy. I am also focusing on making an UpWork and Fiverr account, So I started to download ALOT of udemy videos, from sales to copywriting to marketing. Idk if torrenting is frown upon but I did just to get the boat rolling. Anyways this is my execution progress, not much but I'm getting there.
