I'm sorry, this is an unconventional introduction, I recently discovered the Fastlane forum and have been trying to soak up all the value I can. One common piece of advice I've seen is "Just start". I really want to, but I cant commit.

Having done freelance graphic design in the past, and being fascinated with websites from a young age, I decided that starting a web design business would be a good idea.

Websites are in demand. A lot of businesses have bad websites, if improved, they could increase their number of sales, customers, etc...

Keep in mind I'm a high school student, therefore have a lot of time when I'm not at school, a decent amount of money saved from freelancing, and no financial responsibilities yet.

So, excited about the future business, I bought a domain name, made a half-done business plan, gathered 15 leads and stopped. I did a single cold email, haven't built a website for myself, and have been slacking off. I created an email, but its messy with marketing newsletters and software promotions.

I feel like I just gave up. I want to commit, but I feel as though I don't have the motivation. If anybody has been through this before, what are you doing or what has helped you get past it?
