[ Levelling Up ]

[hermitcrab]

Hey guys,

I don't really have, and don't really want to have, a structure for this thread. I'm just going to log in every once in a while to write my progress, failures, struggles, mental game, you name it. I feel like putting my thoughts on paper will help a lot with levelling up.

Essentially, this thread is about me talking alone like a crazy person.

===================

I don't recall having an FTE, but clearly I had a lot of FTM during my life. That's probably why I've always been interested by entrepreneurship my whole life.

I am the analytic-type by nature, I overthink everything all the time, you could I say "spreadsheet" it to death. It's hard for me to do something right away without measuring the pros and cons. I want to become A LOT more action-oriented. I did some really good progress during the last year, but I feel like having an FTE would catapult me into to the next level, no more BS.

I found this thread about manufacturing your FTE instead of waiting for it (thanks to UncommonWay for posting this!) : NOTABLE! - Manufacturing a FTE (F*ck This Event!)

... and I kinda like the idea, I don't feel like letting myself go any lower, until I hit ultimate rock bottom to have my FTE. So, with that in mind, I wrote a FTS list; I'll be reading it often during the next days (month?) and hope it can work in a similar way autosuggestion does. Here's the list, and no, I am not proud of it.

The reasons why I must live up to my full potential and become a true entrepreneur:

• living in a shit hole — F*ck this
• shitbeing broke — F*ck this shit

You have so many FTS's, you should be millionaire like in 2 days Joking aside, I think "think and do only positive things and thoughts - hippy sh*t mindset" is so overused, I think negative can be superpowerful motivation and I've used my FTS's to give me boost through tough times.

I feel like we either do things out of desperation or inspiration. Most areas of my life I draw my momentum from inspiration (it's about getter better at stuff I genuinely love after all). But went it comes to business and entrepreneurship, it's all about HIGH and LOW. Being able to see the red pill truth all around me, and saying "F*ck THAT" is definitely just as powerful as inspiration, at least for now. I guess we could say it's inspiration coming from desperation.
