Hello everyone, my name is Jaden and I’m 16 and from Virginia. I’ve been lurking on the forum without an account for awhile and I’ve read Unscripted .

I currently run a small lawn mowing business generating $500 in monthly recurring revenue. I have a few limiting beliefs that hold me back by a ton, and have been trying to solve them for years. (anxiety to take action in terms of sales - door knocking and even taking phone calls - and feeling that people are judging me constantly.) Due to these beliefs I have trouble taking action because I’m anxious/nervous that people are going to judge me and chase me out for putting flyers or posting ads on Nextdoor. Or that I’m going to get screamed at on the phone. Maybe I need more thick skin.

I also wonder if it’s worth grinding my teenage years in order to go into the Fastlane. People say that you should enjoy your time in high school/youth as it’s your best years. I’m very conflicted about this.

Anywho, the reason I joined this forum is because have a burning desire to learn and grow and I want to realize what I’m truly capable of. I feel like I’ve built a 20 ton brick wall and I can’t break through it.
