Hi everyone,
TLDR: I came here once to introduce myself, didn't do much since, now it's time for me to achieve my goals with accountability and public execution.
I am A.H, 32 y/o from Morocco and living in France, and I am here to reintroduce myself since I came to this forum a few years ago, made a lot of promises to myself and shared them and then... well, I wouldn't say that I did nothing, but in fact, I didn't generate a lot of money or create a lot of value.
Fortunately, my life was not a mess. I managed to have a wonderful kid with my wife, managed to have a happy wedding and a good relationship, my career is going well with several moves and promotions getting me to an interesting position regarding my age, and my health is good (for now fingers crossed).
On the other hand, all the inspiration I got from reading TMF , Unscripted , TRRE, and many other books has resulted in zero concrete business and no real money made.
I spent a lot of time learning full-stack web development in order to create someday my app/SaaS. It was hard, I didn't make time for that, it resulted in me finishing my full-stack course after 2 and 1/2 years of learning, and today I can't start a project without the help of ChatGPT...
I spent months working on all kinds of projects from an AI learning assistant for kids in school to an ed-tech service based on emails to serve courses to SaaS helping candidates manage and prepare their interviews, to never launching them... convincing myself that it wouldn't work... throwing in the towel to start another project.
I also spent a lot of time talking about the "unscripted mindset" around me (friends and family). In the beginning, it made sense, but now since I never started any venture, I feel ashamed talking about this, while I am unbelievably convinced by that, since I have nothing to show for it and I don't want to hear another "What about project X you were working on?" and me responding with the lies I used to persuade myself to stop it.
On the other hand, this situation makes me feel anxious. I feel a real unhappiness thinking almost all the time (apart from times I make myself forget using YouTube, video games & p*rn addiction) about why I still haven't managed to do something that makes money while all around the world, people are succeeding and achieving the goal I've been dreaming of for so long.
This feeling led me to another nice action-faking process: "healing my brain" from all the negativity, the self-destructive behaviors, the beating the procrastination process, etc., spending hours and hours of my life watching videos/reading books and learning how to control myself, only to slip back into another high dopamine activity as soon as I start working on something and things get a little bit difficult.
In the world we are living in (AIs, access to information and markets, etc.) being unable to make something seems unacceptable for me. I cannot accept this situation anymore. I hope I have someday the famous FTE that will give me an unstoppable drive, but for now, I only have unpleasant events that I accommodated myself with and the will to provide everything my wife and my kid need, but since we already are in a "comfortable" position, I can't get this URGE to achieve and I slip into procrastination again and again.
Many times I just tell my wife: "If only I had a clear vision of an activity, anything, that if made properly would bring money, I would do this every freaking day until I reach my financial goal," but the truth is that the recipe is simple, described in many ways in MJ's books and many other books and trainings I have taken.
Now it is time for me to be honest, I MUST get myself out of this inertia, I MUST follow the process and I WILL do it publicly in order to benefit from the many good feedbacks I see on the other posts of this forum.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to have interesting discussions with all of you.
