Progress Thread - Follow me on my path

[TimoS.]

Introduction​

Hey guys,

my name is Timo and I am currently 17 years old. Last spring I came across MJ’s books TMF / Unscripted and fell in love with the idea of entrepreneurship.

But I was way too scared to take action. I made up excuses and believed bullshit such as that I am too young and I can wait. Those beliefs allowed me to stay in my comfort zone and still feel productive.

Deep down I knew that all of those beliefs were excuses of myself because I was scared. Scared to fail. Scared of the hard path. Scared of judgement.

In the last months I gained a lot of knowledge through books and this forum. I felt productive but never used this knowledge. It just stayed in the back of my head. I was of the opinion that it will help me in the future. Sometimes I got the small thought to mind that I could take action now and don’t have to wait. But then again came the excuses.

I can’t say that I had other big priorities. I would still consider myself an productive person. I am going 5x a week to the gym for over a year now, quit most social media apps, have a healthy diet and drastically improved my social skills . In general I am working towards a better future.

Then one day it clicked. I read a random thread and came across the quote: “Unused knowledge is ephemeral, vanishing as swiftly as it was acquired”. Something happened in this moment and I realized that most of the knowledge I learnt I already had forgotten about or it’s unnecessary for my current situation. Every moment that I could have used productive was wasted. I am at the exact same spot where I was last spring. The only positive thing is that I know that this mistake won’t happen to me again.

I failed in the past because I was overwhelmed with the idea of starting. I didn’t know where to start. Sure I heard the advice that even little things help me to slowly move from team consumer to team producer but still it was much more comfortable to ignore it and just continue to live my life.

Recently I decided to change everything. I will do everything in my power to use my early years efficient so that my future self will thank me. I will try out new things, learn skills but most importantly show the world my work. Even if it’s not perfect. Feedback helps me to grow.

Now the question: What will I do?

Currently I got accepted for a small job that allows me to earn 450$ a month for only 34 hours of work per month. I don’t plan to spend this money because I want to buy my own car as soon as I turn 18 (in September). Also school is almost over for me. That means I got a ton of free time. Basicially it’s the perfect time to get serious about business. No more excuses

Now I realize you don’t need a masterplan to start. Just follow your curiosity and see where it gets you. That’s all.

I will set myself one important rule to follow on this path:

To provide the most amount of value possible to this world I need to produce and publish something out of every new thing I learn. In this way I will slowly move from team consumer to team producer, improve my skills and get feedback from the world.

I don’t need THE THING to start. It would be naive to think that I could get good business ideas while sitting comfortable on my couch. That’s stupid. They come along the way.

Currently I am interested in improving my English text writing skills. I want to be able to write paragraphs of text that are enjoyable to read without having to spend much time on it. It should feel natural to type my second language English. This will help me in the future.

In the next couple of days I will practice and research as much as possible. Then I will create something with my new skill. I currently don’t know what but I will be creative and I will share it with you guys.

Let’s see where my curiosity combined with hard work gets me.

Future​

I don’t know where I will end up in the next months, years but I know for sure that I will do everything in my power to use my limited time on this earth productive and fulfilling. I was holding back on publishing this progress thread and new excuses came such as who am I to create a progress thread without past achievements or a clear business idea.

But this isn’t me. I will show the world who I am and share all my successes and failures with you guys. I will be 100% honest here and I take full accountability for my future. I am responsible for everything.

I am really thankful if you took your costly time to read all of this. This means a lot to me. Expect to see me succeed and fail. But nothing will stop me. I won’t give up

Best regards

Timo!
