I read Fastlane 6-7 years ago and never visited the forum until recently. I came across a thread by MJ talking about how the CENTS principles can be an excuse not to get started, and realized how much that has held me back over the years.

Most of my non-action stems from indecisiveness, not knowing what I want. As I've grown I have a better idea of which things I thought I wanted because of outside influence, and which relate to me values and strengths.

Now I want to take my niche and get started, applying the CENTS principles to something that already exists, over time.

I have a lot of experience in personal growth, as I've come from being a person with a negative worldview, very in my head, with poor habits and many addictions.

Most of my growth has come from mindfulness, honesty, and a focus on habits. Gratitude and reframing play a big role too, to allow me to enjoy the process, which is key. In a way that ties into habits and mindfulness, freeing myself from addictions has desensitized my mind to the pleasure of growing as a person.

When I was younger I wanted to make a good life for myself and my community, impact the world in a positive way, and have a lot of good sex. The latter was the most attainable and also driven by base desires. I think I have satisfied that need and now just enjoy sex as a cherry on top of hard work.

So I have a lot of experience with self help types on youtube, but one thing I have always thought they lacked was where to go once you are living in a good way. Like I am now, I wake up with a morning routine, wind down and get good sleep, and have time and intention to apply myself to massive action during the day.

My problem is deciding where to apply that massive action.

I think what is calling me is to help people reach their potential and find the best way to apply it. I have an interest in geopolitics as well as personal growth, and want to tie the two together. Ideally, I could help people get back on their feet or into a career more suited for them, all relating to world needs.

What I struggle with is where to start on this.
