You feel stuck because you figured out success costs way more than you expected - and you're not sure if you want it as much as the things you'd have to trade for it. And that's okay.
Just because you feel like shit doesn't mean you need to act like shit, treat other people like shit, or treat yourself like shit.
I think separating our feelings from how we behave is a sign of maturity, which has almost nothing to do with how old you are, only how skilled.
Do so much volume it would be unreasonable for you to fail.
Study each success and see what sets it apart from all the failures.
Repeat the winning parts even more times.
Don't change your mind before you let compounding - compound.
Stop looking for the perfect business model.
A mediocre model with psychotic execution beats a perfect model with mediocre execution.
Every. Single. Time.
You’re going to have to learn how to try significantly harder and longer than you expected but the payoff will bigger and different than you imagined because you realize that the money never mattered and who you become to get it was the point all along.
@AlexHormozi Marketing 101: Energy is contagious.
If you treat your offer like an event, set the tone, build anticipation, frame the stakes.
People will lean in.
Make it matter or it won’t.
One of my early mentors who recently passed away taught me a marketing lesson Ill never forget:
If you want something to be a big deal.
Make it a big deal.
Simple, but profound.
Not all things are worth making a big deal out of.
And nothing is inherently a big deal to begin w
Fear fades when you face it. Doubt dies when you do it. Success rings when you stop waiting. You're not good enough. And neither was anyone else you look up to when they got started.
You don't get what you want, you get what you're willing to suffer for. And once you realize your goals may not be in your "budget", you can either buy cheaper goals, or pay more. But the price never changes.

If you hire someone,
Then ignore what they say.
Then tell them what to do.
And they do it.
And it fails.
Then you blame them for not hitting goals.
You should be fired.
You can’t tell someone what to do then blame them when it doesn’t work.
You can get pretty far in life if you’re just willing to be disliked, disagreed with, and disapproved of.
If you do all three, you’re in the company of every person who’s done something great.
(And a bunch of degenerates)
