Happy thanksgiving to everyone celebrating it!

Week 1 Progress Thread:
This might seem weird to start a progress thread on Thanksgiving, but just because it's a holiday, doesn't mean the journey takes a break as well - it's continuous progress everyday. I wanted to make this to show where I've been since my last post and where I want to go. Currently my family just moved to an apartment (Thank God!), which am very thankful for, especially if you know what I've been through from my post introduction (If you want to read here). I'm also in high school and getting caught up from the classes that I've missed in the past years, and working on my diaper business, right now i'm working still on making a better improvement of my 1st iteration of the prototype and learning about the industry. I will use this forum to add value, make connections, learn from others, and all us on this forum to build amazing, value providing businesses. I'm still unsure of the process of making a product business, but will learn from this forum and update this progress thread about every week to hold myself accountable through the journey as well.

My 3 Most Important Goals That will MOVE The Needle To Complete By Next Thursday Are:
1) Finish Reading Unscripted - (Currently reading on kindle and on page 593/936, so 343 pages to go = 49 Pages to read daily)

2) Finish my Spanish classes for APEX - (This is the classes that I missed for the past years and currently on Spanish, so will need to finish this for school to graduate)
3) Research about the diaper industry and researching to build a better diaper prototype - (This is the one am most struggling with, learning how to build a better prototype and learning about the industry and market of my product, but I WILL learn and overcome that fear I have inside me of taking this big step)

I still have other goals I want to complete by next week, but these are the Top 3 that NEED to get done in order to vastly move forward to my dreams. Thanks you for reading and if you have any advice (Especially about the 3rd goal, I'm pretty confused on a lot of things and learning to build the business) I will read and reply back to it.

Thank you and have an amazing Thanksgiving!
