After 6 months of training daily, my coach entered me into my first tournament. I came out with gold and silver in 2 categories.

Over the past 2-3 months, I've devoted all my free time to researching how to start my own business, immersing myself in YouTube videos, courses, and online communities. However, I often find myself filled with self-loathing when I consider the time I've spent without taking action. This internal struggle is something I'm actively combating, as I've always been someone who takes decisive action when pursuing my goals. Despite this, I can't shake the underlying belief that even if I commit fully to action, something will always hold me back. This "something" is a complex mix of factors, including limiting beliefs about money influenced by my family and the economic context of my country. These thoughts, compounded by other limiting beliefs, are further complicated by my enrollment in college. I believe the later is the thing that is holding me back the most from taking action, because I can't see myself as someone who makes thousands online while also keeping the identity I have now from the last 4 months since I started college(in order to reach that point I have to "re-invent" myself essentially). I am very slightly considering dropping out in the near future, unless I get success early on and I have a clear path infront of me, though I am making this post because I would like to hear from someone with a similar experience and I am open to reconsider what I will do. One things is certain: I wont settle. Really appreciate if anyone drops their opinion on this 🙌. (edit) I added the pic for transparency reasons I don’t want to be a faceless random coming into this community. Really seems like a promising place with like minded people.

If you are a "CEO/Founder" of an agency or coaching biz or whatever you're doing, and you don't make at least a couple thousand per month, you are deluding yourself. If you "have a business" but you're making no money, what you actually have is a big problem, where you are getting dopamine from telling people about your awesome really cool business, instead of getting dopamine by signing clients and making money. You dont have a business, you are a glorified freelancer, at least until you're starting to make, let's say $3,000 per month. Remind yourself: $10k/mo isn't a lot of money. At that point, you're barely even playing the game of business. From what I've seen, properly "playing the game" starts at around $30k/mo. (I wouldn't know, I'm not there yet. Please do correct me if I'm wrong) Don't delude yourself, dont put 10k/mo on a pedestal like most people do.

I just invested in a program thats 3k/mo where I get to have 2hrs/week with an agency owner turning over $500,000/mo+ in his business. Will be bringing all the sauce to our weekly call. Lets win the week - micro action compounds into macro results.

Loving all of the self-accountability posts in here boys! Here are my goals for the next 3 months, will update 15/5/24 Current MRR: 2k Target MMR: 10k Current profit margin: 50.3% Target profit margin: 60%+ Current clients: 6 (not all paying atm) Target clients: 12-15 Current team size: 2 Target team size: 3 Current weight: 83kg Target weight: 90kg Extra: Replace time spent on social media with reading self improvement books and improve my relationship with God 🙌 Keeping myself accountable to these goals, let’s get it boys!
