Good day to you,
I´ll spare you the whole story since I have written a rough overview of it in my introduction.
However, this is my current situation:
+ Just dropped out of technical college ( for too many reasons to list )
+ I am a heavy smoker
+ I am a regular ( binge ) drinker
+ No job or anything special worth mentioning in a resumee
+ Heavily depressed ( but having taken steps to make it better, and it already works )
+ Enough money saved to get by for about one year ( expenses about 600,-/month )
+ No debt
I am ready to change my life and build my business, I can see the path clearly.
I am starting this thread for two main reasons:
To document my personal and entrepreneurial journey to have something to look back on.
And to help people who suffer from depressive states, which is interfering with their
entrepreneurial aspirations to get better.
I am starting a content / subscription based online business. The niche I chose is quite huge with
a lot of competitors, and I am well aware of that. Good thing is, most of them are small to middle-sized, unprofessional and, what´s most important, targeting a completely different age- and livestyle-group. I know the market really well and see this as my big advantage.
My big business goal is to gain significant popularity and compete with the 3 biggest competitors
until June next year. It should be entirely possible, but I am going to do research on exact numbers to
make things more clear.
Today I researched and chose my webhost. It is affordable and ( most importantly ) makes later upgrades very easy. I will definitely need them. The service should be available in the evening.
Next steps:
+ Flip one product from ebay today ( already got a buyer )
+ Work the evening in catering ( one time job )
+ Mindstorm domain-names and register the best
+ Finish resumee and application for various 20h/w sh*t-jobs ( To pay bills and get out of the house )
+ Create first layout / site design
+ Get basic site online and register with search engines
Steps for getting rid of my depression and foggy mind:
+ Meditation ( started 5 days ago ), at least 10min in the morning
+ Go for a walk everyday ( 30min )
+ Do some short exercise daily ( 15min )
+ Free myself of smoking, starting tomorrow
+ Limit myself to two alcoholic bevereges / day ( started one week ago )
+ Start intermitted fasting ( basically only eating past 6pm )
I will regularly update on my business ventures and my mental state.
I have managed to get rid of my depression once using similar means. But I got lazy and it came back stronger than before.
This is when I realised that everyone is just the sum of what he/she does everyday.
And I will keep that in mind for my journey.
I´ll update again tomorrow.
Best regards,
Falco
