Hello everyone, my "The Millionaire Fastlane " read was already a while ago, i started reading "Unscripted " but layed it off for a while before i came to the commandments once again, i tried some business with easy entries, using A.I. to create e-books, clipart and print-on-demand alltogether automating it with code, but i havent found the motivation to be persistent and stopped with all of them. I was smoking weed on a daily basis and was dreaming of a fast way to earn money, without creating value, wanting to give back to my parents, that gave their life to give me the one i have now. Pressure started stacking onto me from a lot of directions and i just broke down not knowing how to continue, i just wanted to jump in front of the next train. Today it's been 3 months since i stopped smoking weed and cigarettes, also i've been gaming for a few months now again, but knowing it's just a waste of my time. For 3 weeks now we are replacing part of our roof, because we had to. I work for 8 hours at the company (IT company), come home continue working on the roof for another 4 hours every day, i only have sundays to myself, sitting in front of my computer playing useless games. I'm gonna lose it soon. I started reading "Unscripted " again whenever i can, gonna read "The Great Rat Race Escape " next. I cannot do this any longer shifting around pixels for 8 hours, being paid the minimum. That's why im here trying to learn as much as i can, learn the language of the market, one day find an opportunity that i can sink my energy into. I just notice im very greedy and have the feeling one day i will start running again, because i lost patience with the process once again. But i will get better and i need to get better, nothing feels worse than continuing with the life i have right now.

I am now 25, living in Germany, crying my heart out, but still i somehow feel inside me, that im being pretentious. I'm not sure how to get that energy to really work for my dream, one day i am really into it researching, investing and the next day im back to my old patterns wasting my time and energy with useless entertainment in form of videos, movies and games.

How are you doing it, any tips for a beginner?

Read:
1. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
2. The subtle Art of not giving a F*ck by Mark Manson.
It's a great start. All your greatest strengths and weaknesses begin with Psychology.
Your mind is your greatest asset. You can't plan, you can't understand your failures and rejections or take the punches or grow from them or learn from them or apply the lessons if you can't understand your own Psychology and "self-talk".
You need a Belief System (Inner frame/self-belief), your inner self talk and what you say to and other people reflects this about your beliefs about your self.

Your 25. Use it and stop the whiny negative self-talk and grow the F*ck up. It's what people need to hear no matter the age. People of older ages who are in worse positions would envy your age.
Some people of older age are freaking homeless, have kids, are in debt and have shitty jobs.
I was just talking to a girl from an app, who is in an asian country. She's 26 and has no home and is a helper for a family, I don't think she makes an income to afford her own rent.
Her home town in Myanmar was demolished by military and she moved to Singapore while her family moved to India.
There all kinds of people from different situations from all ages and walks of life.

You have time, family, a home, a working mind and a normal functioning body for physical labor.
Not many people have all these or "had" one of these foundations. You still have all of it. BTW, I'm 33 and I still have own problems as well.

Go read Gold! Threads on the forum. Tbh rarely a gold thread has helped me, but they will give you the push.

I doubt the books mentioned will help OP, but if he wishes...
