Hey.
So I am an 18 y/o guy. Read TMF a couple months ago and I really liked it.
Thing about me is I'm basically the human equivalent of a sloth. I scored 1.3/5 on the Grit Test (from the 'GRIT' book), which just means I have zero perseverance/drive/passion etc. Minimum you can score is 1, so yeah. Never worked hard for anything in my life and am a massive under-achiever. Even failed my high-school and am now sitting on my a$$ at home.
I want to get into entrepreneurship because I sincerely want to change and challenge myself. I have been comfortable with being desperate and feeling like shit all the time, so I want to learn to hate being comfortable again. Money is a motivator too of course.
What I've done
Nothing at all. Been trying to cure laziness and get out of that comfort zone by hitting the gym. Building a body is a side benefit of course but I'm just trying to build discipline at the moment and get the ball rolling. Been going for 1.5+ months which is longer that anything I've stuck to in the past and is a serious achievement for me (yea, its that bad). As for the skills I have and any past experiences, I have none.
Goals
Sticking to things, not being sidetracked and facing any sort of challenge comes hard to me. The only way I figured I can change is by changing my mindset to try and like being uncomfortable. For the discipline, doing things that I don't want to and eventually making it into a habit is the only way I think there is to build it. And the money, I have no idea where to get started or what skills to build.
Any advice and your honest opinions are more than welcome.

Goals
- Start earning money now, from the limited capital ($300) and zero skills I have.
- Don't leave or skip the gym.
