6 months of entrepreneurship/lifestyle building & heading towards first millions

[JuhaniEridius]

Whatsup ass-kickers and killers.

I am Juhani. This is my first post around here, actually this might be one of the first time I doing this. Currently my numero uno goal is actually be financial successful earlier as well as actualizing my potential; my aim from now to at least end of July is hitting my first millions dollars from entrepreneurship as well as earning a citizenship in US.

I took a bet with my fate & decided to go with my gut instincts, I dropped out this college quarter, got my refund for $3500 and currently saving for this journey.

All chips are seemingly stacked against me since I can easily be deported from US or got into legal issues for not having enough eligibility to work or doing business here; and I could fail miserably.

This is seemingly ridiculous and hasty as fuck; but nonetheless I decided to took a full leap of faith and go 100% on this venture. I am on my own game now.

This thread is meant to be created with purposes of:

- Motivate me to keep kicking-ass and stay as convicted as possible (since I had trouble with keeping myself aligned and disciplined in the past).
- Post tracking and accountability of my entrepreneurial progress as well as lifestyle progress consistently.
- Exposing myself to others; which I have never done before.
- To see if there are any values I could possibly contribute to the forums.
- Network with other ass-kickers: Washington State is goddamn hectic for meeting new people right now; and I guessed that months of sticking my ass in the house, my social skills are borderline retarded (maybe).

Currently, the base of my venture is my blogging website and also my start-up project for an app that is tied with my website. I will clarify more of my execution plan on Feb 6-7th.

Anyway, let's start this shit. I am feeling both excited and nervous at the same time.

Feel free to give me opinions & critiques, they would be very valuable for me.

Welcome my man. I am also looking into online business, too.

I will be blunt: I wish you stayed in uni while launching your venture. Lessens the risk of being deported back to your country as an international student. I also am a bit iffy with you setting your goal as $1M by July. Disregard this if you're already cashflow positive in the thousands of $$, but setting unrealistic goals is one way to shoot yourself on the foot

That being said: I'm a bit envious that you're starting your entrepreneurial venture early on. I had so much time back at uni I wasted in anime, TV Series, and porn. I didn't start a business back then, and I'm kicking myself today for it.

Let's get it!

Partly because I was to ADHD to process with two big things at once. I felt uninterested, lethargic, stressful and dead inside from the college stuffs. That was the moment I decide to listen to my gut for once; and I am trying my best to conquer this goal. If it fails, it fails; I can always do again 'til I go down.

But yeah, regarding to you: it is never too late, you are still lucky to start now. I hope you can do your best in your tracks as well.

Week 1, day 2 - February 2nd:

What were my goals today?

- [x] Finish the Jan 22nd article.
- [-] Spend at least 3 high quality hours of learning how to code.
- [ ] Re-evaluate the software building project overview structure.
- [x] Train chest & back.
- [x] Read a chapter of Infinite Potential - Neville Goddard.

Habits checklist:

- [x] Take cold shower.
- [x] Meditate 15 minutes.
- [x] Training.
- [x] 4000-4200 calories eaten (3 meals): aprox 75g fat, 620g carbs, 195g protein (currently bulking).
- [x] Brain training: read a chapter of a book, 4 articles about bio-hacking; watched 3 knowledgeable videos today.
- [x] No porn, masturbation, social media, video games, music binge today.

Productivity score: 7.5/10.
Discipline score: 6/10.
Mental state: Focused on the first 4-5 hours of the morning, but got crashed down after a meal, procrastinated for 2-3 hours.

What have I learned today:

- Daily Stoic February 2nd: let us not be controlled by our impulses to act or react to certain behaviors; we are in control of our mind and feelings.
- I'd make a huge mistake if I keep bouncing from 2 huge things deliberately and constantly while having little results from both; I will fail for sure. Currently working on both software & my website, since both are related to my venture. But since I am still making more progress with my website than software building. I gotta focus more on the website until I see some good results (this reminds me of a chapter in TMF: Monogamy First).

What do I plan to do tomorrow?

- Write a review article about digital nomad products; write a brief draft of a free eBook; practice coding with Python first hour of the day.

Write a review article about digital nomad products

You write about digital nomads?

practice coding with Python first hour of the day.

What's your endgame with learning Python? I also love love love coding (engineering background here) but I never was able to quickly apply my newfound Python knowledge quickly, and I ended up shelving using programming in the end.

Do you have a project or product in mind to make? Helps with going through the coding learning process.

[Giles]

What are your priorities exactly? Looking at how you organize your day I'd say it's self-improvement, not gaining valuable skills or making money.

Not much about digital nomad, still it is still involved within my niche; also I am a digital & tech fanboy myself.

Yeah, I am shooting from now for 2-3 months building an online software about lifestyle designing with RPG-type gamification that allows users to track progress, build stats and accomplish shits & extra guides; something almost like Habitica.

Though this is just an quick overview of my idea, I haven't really develop more specific gameplan & blueprint about this; and I am still dumb at coding right now. Nevertheless, I am starting to take action first, learning Python is the great start, although that there might be more programming languages involved.

Priority is still entrepreneurship. But I am doing both, since lifestyle building and self-development is also related to my niche & expertise and also I am organizing my day incline towards the pursuit of entrepreneurship in long-term.

Still, I book a call with my advisor tomorrow and let see what can I do.

- In spite of this hectic shit, I am going to persist & solve the problems until hitting the bottom. Which I am still focus on living feeling focused, care-free and happy toward building my online entrepreneurial venture.
