Hey, I'm new to the forum, and I was hoping I could get some feedback on the issue I'm having.
For context, I just turned 18, and I'm working at an internship during my school hours. I work 40 hours a week because I finished a lot of my academics in my junior year. Anyway, I read TMF in August and it blew my mind away, I was so intrigued by the Fastlane, and by the freedom it grants. I then started brainstorming on what I could do to achieve the Fastlane. I started posting videos on self-improvement on YouTube. I knew it was saturated, but I was targeting a certain niche. I did that for 3 months but didn't see much traffic. I liked making videos but the progress was so draining, scriptwriting, editing, making a thumbnail and title that hooks the watcher, I wanted to do something else. I then looked into e-commerce and how you can sell stuff online and whatnot. that seemed cool. But I don't want to start running around trying new things, in the hopes of getting money, I want to stick to something and hopefully strike gold there. But what I'm doing now is tiring and I'm not seeing progress. what should I do? Should I see this YouTube channel through? should I try e-commerce? Am I the prime example of "chasing the next shiny object"?
