I was bullied into going to a community college due to the societal pressures that I was facing from the Script. The only way I could feel good enough was if I exploded intrinsic value to work a 9-5 full time in a field such as law or accounting. After dealing with anxiety and depression from neglecting my mental and physical health for the sake of my studies, I decided to abandon my plans to go to University and take a trade job instead. However, I couldn't motivate myself to work such a job. I looked into digital marketing before discovering the Millionaire Fastlane , then discovered it to be a hitchhiking scheme (I wanted to become a UX designer) where you're working a 9-5 whilst pretending to be self-employed. I was there at the bottom of the social dominance hierarchy, serving people like MJ DeMarco under the delusion that I was being a model citizen instead of a brainwashed MODEL.

My purpose is to use entrepreneurship to become a greater servant to God and to provide more to my family. I can actually invest into my religion as a passion, starting a faith based YouTube channel or writing books on faith once I have the money to be both the protector and preserver of my family once I have became financially free. This isn't going to happen until I knuckle down to put some effort into my current business. A 9-5 job would be too attached to my time to allow me to grow my faith in God and even if I had the time, I would be too dependent on whether people had seen my videos. I love talking about religion, but I'm terrible at explaining those types of concepts compared to the vast amounts of YouTubers out there who are all well-versed in their respective holy books. For the time being, I'm executing in the cosmetic industry.

The Script says to seek pleasure today and forsake tomorrow. Where is this advice given in any religious scripture?

God bless.

That's why I used the word 'executing'.
I've spent about 2k bouncing around from idea to idea not going anywhere before finding MJs books, but I still don't feel particularly skilled at anything.
Self-education went wrong because I've half-assed many things, then start attempting other things at the first sign of a sinking ship.
My belief systems are treasonous.
One of my brains is treasonous.
But I will do better tomorrow and consider the idea of starting a religious channel, even though that wasn't my original intention.

What’s the point of being negative dude?

Here’s 10 video ideas:

1. How to run a faith based business
2. How the Scriptures can help guide you and your business
3. 3 ways to ensure your business is following God’s plan
4. How the Quran and Torah can help you understand the Bible
5. 8 of the BEST verses to help you start following God
6. How I failed to follow God in business
7. The 7 DEADLY sins of entrepreneurship
8. How I plan to serve God in my business
9. Where most businesses FALL short
10. How to PART the sea in your business and remove bottlenecks

I don’t know it took me 5 minutes to think of these and it would probably take an hour to study 3-5 of these and make a half decent video.

Why not just try it for 6 months and see what happens?

but I still don't feel particularly skilled at anything.
I tried to self educate and it went wrong because I listened to my own brain when I have no experiences with selling products.

1. You won't ever feel skilled doing anything until you actually do it for a long enough time.
If you gave up trying to walk after the first 3 tries you'd be screwed.

2. "Tried" ... no you didn't "try" you did some half a**ed stuff and now you feel sorry for yourself.

3. You have TWO brains: 1) the woosie 2) the beast

You choose which one you want to listen to

Why not just F*cking try it for 3 months and see what happens?
Because I'll eventually start to hate religion and risk kufr. MJ DeMarco said it in his book Unscripted that following your passion leads to resentment if you're poor. Besides, I can't compete with the amount of YouTubers out there. It's better to start with a business that I'm not passionate about (such as skincare), save my money, execute on the tasks with the most long term benefits and go from there. Once I have a legacy system in place, I can reconsider making videos on religion.
From my understanding.

Why don't you pick something that you know and understand? You must know SOMETHING?

I went to college for commercial real estate and finance.

I run a landscaping company, flip cars/trucks, and flip houses.

I chose these routes because I grew up doing all of it, so I understand it. However, that doesn't mean I was "skilled" at any of these. I sought out a mentor, partnered with him and went from there.

I worked my a$$ off, messed up a bunch, learned from these experiences, implemented systems or changed some, and now I am improving and making around $20k-$30k a month.

It almost seems like you're just spewing back out MJ's lessons without actually knowing what you're saying.

How about Acting, Assessing, Adjusting? Instead of, Regurgitating, Overthinking, Half-Assing.

I haven't stayed in my chosen fields for long enough to understand anything, but I'll attempt to understand more of the actions that will make me successful.

Acting is what's missing. I assess and adjust before acting and I'm used to the latter three because of how the education system always gave me participation trophies for writing good essays. As a result, I grew up being decent, but not great, at many skills.

If you’ve ever worked out you’ll know you just need to start going and adjust as you go.

You don’t need the perfect program or diet, you just need to start moving in any direction that resembles the one on your way to a goal you have.

What does the mentor do? Does this align with what you want to do?

I haven't spoken to him yet.
It's a free business advice agency.
Their advice may be bluepilled, but I can get started from

They basically give advice to young people starting businesses. Some of the advice may be bluepilled, but they can help me with filing for the paperwork and may suggest places where I can ask for product ingredients.
I didn't know until I spoke to you that I'm still in the I need an idea phase, which makes the whole thing a bit awkward because my brain is still trying to get away from making skincare products.
'You can't do that, it's too feminine' is such a childish excuse that my brain is making right now.
All I have to do is arrange to meet a guy from their team over coffee and he can be a mentor who can lead me in one direction whilst I'm starting off and gaining the necessary skills along the way.

You should read Matthew 6:25-33

Settle your health and get a job/hustle for cash flow.

Once foundation are built you can starting to build mvp or prototype for your business ideas.

Starting a business is like a war. You need good support in logistic and finance (Health and Cashflow).

I'm currently looking into getting a sales job where I can teach myself either cold calling or cold emailing. I can't bulk at the moment because I'm broke and it's Ramadan, which makes gaining mass a bit difficult.
I could bulk but I've been cutting out plastic for the last month or so because I don't want to spend my life consuming estrogens.

By health what I mean is eating healthy food, avoid getting fat, and exercise to keep the mind sharp..nothing fancy.
