Day 80:

Update:

Had the meeting. So, I'm currently waiting on a response for a sale. I think I need to change direction for the industry or change the approach entirely.

I have currently contacted upwards of 35% of the businesses for the category I'm approaching. I didn't realize how there weren't that many businesses to contact.

I'm buying 3 books on the industry now so I don't feel totally lost in the jargon they use. I'm buying 1 book to understand where innovation is headed in the industry.

Did not abandon. Will not abandon.

Also, applying for some jobs since it was suggested.

There is just this waiting game

Day 50: In other news, I'm still waiting

Day 80: I'm currently waiting on a response for a sale.

It looks like you've spent the last 2 months waiting. How many more months will you spend waiting? It's time to start doing, hustling, executing, selling. All waiting does is make you old. Stop waiting. Start doing.

Day 290:

Update:

I still haven't given up. Over the summer, I found out that I had to move and was feeling mixed emotions. I couldn't focus on starting a project and didn't want to either. I spent the summer and fall meditating.

I may not be cut out for this, but I also don't have anyone who really supports what I'm doing who I know well. They're secretly critical or on the fence or something. They don't feel energized about it like I do.

Will update this again soon after I'm sure about what industry to go after next. The current industry I'm thinking doesn't seem too good.

Sales didn't pan out either. I lost contact with the connections I made. We naturally drifted apart due to circumstances.

6 months behind schedule.

Read the books again. You’re all over the place now.

Which books are you referencing, if they were mentioned in the thread?

Keep going. This isn't about being "cut out for this" or not. It's just pure determination and trying, trying, trying until you figure it out. Think of it like navigating a labyrinth. If you want to get out, you'll hit one dead end after another until you eventually find your way out.

Perhaps try something simple just to get going and make some money on your own - even a small hustle is better than constantly shifting from one industry to another.
