Hi all.

I am someone who has no problem taking action and working hard.

However, my current efforts haven't produced great results so far and my biggest problem is knowing what to actually do.

I think that stems from the fact that I don't know what exactly is my problem at succeeding.

For context, I am en eCommerce seller and I sell products on my Shopify site.

There are hundreds of different things I could do:
  • Continue testing new products
  • Get better at video creation
  • Work on my website
  • Switch business model
  • Look at countless youtube videos
  • etc
I know this might seem like a dumb question, but do you guys have a system on how to figure out what to do next when what you are currently doing is not working?

Thanks!
