    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    Thanks man. I've just put it on my "to-do" list for tomorrow to make the list of what did and didn't work over the last three years. Excited to see the clarity that list will bring. I'm definitely familiar with Tim Ferris' "fear setting", and will review it for good measure. Believe it or...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    :). Juicy details: I'm selling an 8-week guitar improvisation program. The business is a brand that sells info-products: guitar training programs. This just happens to be my first product "launch" for this business. How am I selling it? FB ads > Automated Webinar I only spent $65 in FB ads...

    UPDATE: Just made my first sale in my new business...while I was drinking wine and playing drums!! Perfect timing ;).

    ... Just found this in another thread: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. One of the quickest routes to depression is shutting yourself away from the world and not doing anything that gives you enjoyment." Bingo.

    Man, this is great. Thanks for posting. I needed to hear it. And yes, I think you're dead on about being burned out. Believe it or not, I've been in bands more or less for the last 12 years. And my most recent (and best and most fun) band broke up about 8-9 months ago when our drummer moved to...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    Good to see this perspective. I don't consider a "job" a career if that makes sense - every time I've had one, I've always schemed a way to get out of it... which I suppose is why I am where I am today. However, in this case, I don't see it as an "out", but a supplement. Thanks for pointing...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    It sounds like you have a good reason to be driven to get up that early. The Pomodoro Technique definitely helps me as well (although I often forget to use it). I agree with your idea about utilizing copywriting/page development skills for income. However the problem isn't finding a way to...

    Steve! Saving the day again I see ;). Thanks for chiming in man. Good reminder - "the past does not equal the future". I completely relate to your "apartment sales copy" life right now. I say this jokingly, but it may be true - I think I've done more introspection than most people do in a...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    Thanks for your input. To be clear, I make my own decisions. I knew that this forum is full of people who may understand my situation (much better than "normal people" in everyday life), and I'm simply here to change my thinking. Others have better/different strategies and ideas that I haven't...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    Yes, YouTube would be part of my marketing mix in the long run. If you "push out" a product on the internet, no one will ever see it. I've been running Facebook traffic (because the targeting is so awesome) to a webinar funnel which sells my program (and builds my list).

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    1. I told the "condensed" version of the story, so it seems like I'm "jumping around" more than I am/did. (However, I DID go through that phase at the beginning). I can assure you now I'm focused on ONE business and ONE goal. 2. You're totally right. And I try to remind myself of that. 3...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    Dunkafelics, thanks for your input. As far as generating income, I still teach a handful of students. Ironically, teaching more ADDs to the "isolation" issue. I've been working on this business full time for a few months. The situation I'm at now though is that I need more income to 1) live...

    Three Years of Entrepreneurship... Stuck In A Rut... Now What?

    (Qualified) advice needed: I'll bring you "up to speed" as concisely as possible... I got a degree in Mechanical Engineering (and hated it). Then went to grad school (in engineering - and hated it). Long story short, I dropped out... I joined another program more focused on entrepreneurship...

    Mindset, feels like I'm still action faking?

    MINDSET 
    @KeepGoin, it sounds like you have made some changes for the better. But it's easy to get discouraged when you don't see "immediate results". Your activities lately will have a more longterm payoff. For short term payoff... The question that @AndrewNC posed is a great one to ask yourself. Try...
