[PROGRESSION THREAD] - (16 y/o) Trying to switch from regular SCRIPTED path to my dream life.

[Matej Cvetkovski]

I am making this thread as a form of accountability journal I guess (for all of life, not just entrepreneurship), mostly for myself, to count the small wins.
I also think it would be fun to look back on this in a couple years.

It's not as impressive as some others' on this forum, but hey it makes me want to keep going.

[IDEAL DESTINATION]​

I want to be able to live a life of excitement and thrill.
I want to be able to travel the world in my twenties and thirties, not slaving away at a desk job.
I want to have the means to live a rich lifestyle in both materialistic and spiritual terms, all whilst not sacrificing my freedom.
I want to achieve my dream body and master certain calisthenics skills.
I want to be happy and present in the moment.

I do not have a target number of money to reach in 10 years, I'm still thinking about that, but I do know that I need to take action now.

Currently I want to make free websites for a couple of businesses so I can get a portfolio and see just how much I am helping them.
After that, I will charge future businesses according to the value I provided.
Once I get a couple thousand dollars monthly in revenue, I will feel safe to start working on a FASTLANE business.
I have the idea of making an entire website agency, where employees will do the work rather than me, but that might change.

Here are some of the categories I decided to make:​

[ENTREPRENEURSHIP] - Primary goal​

I am currently pursuing web design so I can get enough money and skills to make a FASTLANE business in the future.
I haven't had much success with cold e-mailing, but I'm making sure that I contact a couple of businesses every day and learn something new about entrepreneurship every day.
I think my technical skills are good enough, the websites look pretty, now I just need to focus on sales, creating value and solving problems, as said in $1000000 Web Designer Guide and Millionaire Fastlane

I have read Atomic Habits, Millionaire Fastlane, $1000000 Web Designer Guide, Deep Work, The 4-Hour Workweek.
I am currently reading Unscripted and CA$HVERTISING.
I don't read entire books one by one like I used to, I realized it's better to read the part of a book I need the most and then try to use that information or let it cook in my mind.
I also started using this forum to gain quick information, so I don't need to skim over an entire book.

[PHYSICAL HEALTH]​

I am currently going 3x a week to gym and 3x a week Muay Thai.
I try to eat healthy, but recently as the holidays are here, I have been eating junk food here and there.
I noticed I was probably overtraining when I was going 6x a week gym since my progress stalled, now my numbers started increasing with less work, so I am quite happy about that.
Muay Thai is a great escape from life and a way to build discipline and confidence. It has affected me wonderfully both mentally and physically. The people I train with are amazing.

[MENTAL HEALTH]​

I kind of stopped doing meditation, so I should get back to it.
I deleted youtube off my phone and have a modified version of instagram that disables reels. I also have a youtube block on my PC.
I noticed I've been a bit lazy and foggy in my mind these days, so I am gonna put some more attention into this.
My body dysmorphia has lessened quite a bit, I still feel like shit from time to time, but it's a very minor problem.
I've had problems with tracking success and impostor syndrome, just writing this has given me so much self-confidence and motivation.

[SCHOOL]​

For most of my life I was going to the top, still am.
But, I've noticed that if this was my primary path, I would end up having a life of mediocrity.
I am in 2nd grade of high school and I have gotten a scholarship that should last until college.

I just noticed the substantial use of a Pareto's principle (80/20 rule)
After going through my scholarship contract I found that I only need 4.5 GPA to continue it, not the 5.0 GPA I've been getting all my life.
I then realized that 20% of the classes were causing me 80% of my pain, so I am now able to save a bunch of hours on studying subjects I never plan to use.

If you read all of that, thanks, I wish you the best on your journey.​
