I'm not sure where to post this but I just wanted to "air out" what I'm currently feeling and maybe someone can give some advice. Anyway, I just got out of the Hospital a week ago which I was in for 3 days. Turns out I have liver and kidney damage from drinking too much alcohol over the past 7 years, not a daily thing but weekends and eventually my body tapped out when I had to go to the ER. You wouldnt know it from looking at me. As the doctor told me, you are in great shape on the outside but doing bad on the inside. Luckily, The damage is reversible according to the the doctors. During my stay there, I decided that I'm "hanging up the jersey" from drinking for good and last few drinks I had, Man it took about 3 days to get through the hangover and 5 days AFTER that I felt completely depressed which totally F*cked me up in making more progress on my current business im trying to grow and launch. I also wrote a book but i needed to finish the conclusion and again, I didn't feel like doing anything, I actually felt like I wanted to completely disconnect from the world so anything i was doing dropped off.
Overall, My hospital stay was a wakeup call that i needed to get on track if I'm going to progress to a successful entrepreneur and healthy life of longevity. With that little rant said, I'm currently in a position to do well for myself but I feel "stuck" and maybe have doubts about myself? I don't know but even since my last drinks, I haven't felt like myself and it's F*cking me up. The opportunity I'm talking about is a guy i've become friends with who I met through a simple E-mail believe it or not. To make this story short, I bought his products that helped me with my trading of financial markets. We ended up getting on a call and we got along very well and said I have a very unique personality and charisma which was cool to hear and that's something I have "discovered" about myself when i reflect on the connections I've made. being in NYC, I've met highly successful people that I got along with so I've always been able to "connect", even being around a few celebrities, shit, i've even made out with a female celeb (No I will not share who she is). I shared my desire to do a project with him and when I sent him the details, he loved it and asked how would we get this rolling, Since he was in another city i told him I'll get on a plane to where he was and we could get things going. I did just that and we met up for the first time and it was a blast working on the project which came out awesome. I was very inspired by being around him and his vibe/surroundings that my mindset was on a "higher level" if that makes sense? By the way I forgot to mention that he has a networth of 9 figures and owns many businesses.
When I got back to NYC, I continued to work on the business I was building and told him about it, He offered to help in anyway he can. I'm looking to launch soon and he said he would pass his following/customers to me and successful people he knows to my launch and this is where I feel stuck. I guess i feel pressure? I'm not sure because I'm a very outgoing and driven guy. I've had many successes but I realize this is a great opportunity that I do not want to F*ck up. I have no idea why I feel "in the dumps" right now, this is totally not the time to feel this way as project launches are coming up and I need to be on my game. I just don't understand. Can anyone relate to this feeling? is it something you just push through? I's difficult to put into words as this whole post is probably not clear lol but I felt like I needed to "talk" to somebody. Also, I dont feel like I can talk about entrepreneurial things with people around me, They are all settled into the "average" lifestyle of going to a job until their dying day which is F*cking ridiculous. How people accept being slave to a job for their entire lives is beyond me but again they dont understand so cant talk to them. Boy, when people talk about the importance of your environment, they aren't kidding, it has a massive impact.
