Hey there,
Ill tell you a little about myself before I get into what I have been struggling with for the past few years.
I am in my early 20s, currently studying a Bachelor of Business majoring in Financial Planning. Previous to this, I have tried doing 3 other courses. First year out I was a bit lost but I sort of had an idea of what I thought I wanted to do. I went on and studied a Bachelor of Criminology and IT as I was very interested in Cyber Security at the time. I only studied this for about a semester, got really bored of studying and always got distracted onto other tasks such as finding ideas for business's or designing mock up logos and websites. After that, I took another Semester off and the next year went on to study Bachelor of Property Economics. I didn't enjoy that course which has now led me to changing to a Financial Planning degree, I enjoyed it for about a month, however, now am getting really sick of the full weeks of study and feel like I could focus on something I have always enjoyed such as starting a business. (Also my hex debt is starting to build up and I am not gaining anything out of it)
From day dot I have always had everything fairly easy. I have been brought up being handed most things, little chores here and there but generally I have been really lucky with it all. Although I am very grateful, I feel like being handed money and everything pretty easily has affected the motivation side of things for me, especially in the last few years. Struggling to get through a semester of uni, getting distracted by little side hustles none of which have been successful or gone too far into development. I know that I can do it but it's always been little road blocks then me falling into a rut which pushes me back down to the start again.
Another thing that I am struggling with is always having wanted to make my parents proud. This is only just getting harder as they are very University orientated. They think that the best way to be successful is through University. They have always known about my entrepreneurial side and supported me but I am getting older and me constantly throwing new idea's away is getting old. I really want to really prove that I can start a business and show them that you don't necessarily need a degree to be successful.
I have been reading the Millionaire Fastlane and it has inspired me to come on here and make a post about myself. I would love if you could comment with some tips and any motivation techniques you find that are helpful in the beginning stages of starting a business. I seem to always have an idea, stick with it for a week or two then run into a problem with it and move onto another idea. It is almost a cycle for me and is starting to affect every aspect of my life.
Anyway, I hope I can relate to some people and would love to hear back. Happy to answer more questions if you need a better understanding as well
