Why entrepreneurship sucks for you.

For my first 8 months of entrepreneurship it was horrible.

I didn't think it was going to be easy, but not so horrible to the point that I was:

All of these, 24/7.

Yet here we are.

Another 12 - 16 hour day you just worked.

Another night staring at the ceiling, brain spinning, too tired to work but too wired to sleep.

My first 8 months of entrepreneurship were like this and it was the worst part of my life.

And guess what?

I made NOTHING at all. To make that even worse.

SINCE THEN

I've had the best 3 months EVER of my life (From February - March till now)

Not just life, but business too. I'm now living a life I genuinely love living whilst working on my business.

I've:

made over $10K+ online revenue (LTV) since then
been the happiest I've ever been
working 4 - 6 hours a day and making more progress than when I was working 16 hours a day
formed my own social circle of entrepreneurs in my city and built a popping social life

And in this post I'm going to teach you how to do this yourself.

STEP 1: Lack of Work Efficiency

the cycle you're currently in:

You procrastinate → Stay up late to catch up → Sleep less → Wake up tired, groggy, and unfocused → Procrastinate again.

It’s a hamster wheel, and the worst part? - you keep increasing work hours hoping it’ll fix itself.

What changed my entire business was fixing this very cycle.

I was stuck in it for 8 months. I was constantly tired and getting nothing done despite "working" 12+ hours/day.

Here’s what actually works:

Plan tomorrow’s to-do list the night before (rank from highest → lowest priority)
Wake up and start working instantly
Hoodie + white noise + dark room = deep focus mode
Work in hour-long timed sprints
No more than 4–6 hours of deep work per day (unless big launch)
Block your day in Google Calendar like it’s law
Disable all notifications until your sprint is done

This changed my life. I now get FAR more done in 4 hours than I used to in 14.

STEP 2: Deteriorating Health

Healthy entrepreneur is the new meta I'm coining.

When your brain feels like it’s detached from reality…

When you’re so tired you could fall asleep mid-convo,

When your thoughts feel like mud…

That’s not a mindset problem. That’s your body giving up.

What to change:

STEP 3: Lack of Life Outside Work

Here’s the REAL trap of entrepreneurship:

You add more hours to fix low output → Those extra hours are wasted → more procrastination → Sleep suffers → focus crashes → So you… add more hours again

It’s a self-made prison man

However, here's the cycle that got me to the life that I wanted, and making more money

Fewer hours allocated to work→ zero wasted time or procrastination→ more lifestyle, skills, and energy→ better work quality→ fewer hours needed

This less is more cycle is how I reclaimed my energy, brainpower, and actual life.
