Man, I'm driving myself crazy.

Fear of failure, fear of success, not feeling like I'm worthy and fried dopamine. I can't prolong any longer. I've put all this S*** off for AGES and I can't keep doing it. I can't afford to fix my car, I barely have money left at the end of each week. I feel like I'm going nowhere. I just got a part time job as a Personal Trainer (yay... not) and I'm in debt from my effing student loan I acquired from "studying" business at uni a couple years ago.

I hate seeing my Mum and Dad slave their bums away, not fulfilled. I hate how I can't pay for their groceries or give them $1k per week for whatever they want. I hate the fact I've wasted 6 years procrastinating. I don't even know what I'm saying here anymore, but I just have to pull the trigger, stop worrying about being perfect, stop worrying about tarnishing my false, inflated ego and just do it. I have to be willing to see poo results and learn and go again.

I'm heavily invested in the AI space and the crazy results I can help businesses generate with solutions in the AI space, but I myself don't know how to develop stuff, just come up with solutions. I don't know where to start, other than creating content on IG and building a name for myself and hopefully acquiring leads that way. Focusing on one service with a complimentary "FREE" service on top.

I don't want to follow my passions because that's not what is going to create the most amount of value that I can at this moment. Maybe I'll save the *masculine/alpha/gym/get-off-your-a$$* guides and courses for later when I actually have my S*** together.

Anyway, rant over. I want to start posting here and documenting my journey. No action-faking, just raw documentation. Hopefully I can derive some dopamine from seeing my progress on here. Gamifying my journey I guess you'd call it. I've just dropped the alcohol, social media, trash sleep schedule, and hanging out with old friends who only talk about the past. It's time to get disciplined again and for once in my life, work on my aspirations in the entrepreneurial, fastlane world.
