I have read a lot of success books... EVERY ONE OF THEM says to surround yourself with people who are more successful than yourself and who want more out of their lives.
It is very hard... I mean, I guess I could tell my friends and family to leave me alone. But really... I don't want to do that.
I have tried to get my friends and family to become entrepreneurs like myself but they tel me it's not going to happen. None of them have faith and me, and for that I like to stay couped up in my basement and stick with myself.
The thing is I can't get away from them though, I don't have enough money to move out on my own, so I am stuck with my family with no faith in me.
My friends are all drunks and would rather spend their lives in a bar... Always asking me to go and I always say no. Not that I do not want to go out and have fun, it's just that I would rather work on stuff read and become more educated.
I took a year off of work to try and build enough passive income to stay at home and work but that didn't work. I ended up getting fat, and I am in the same spot as I was a year ago. I have talked to a few successful people and they have told me that I am lazy and should of been able to get something going in a year.
I am 25 now and I feel that I am not going anywhere...
I have no self-discipline, and I can't stay focused on what I am doing.
I am letting my life rule me and I am not sure how to take control. For an entire year I know I saw at least 4 hours of a computer screen each day, although some was for entertainment purposes, a lot was to learn how to build businesses, and become more successful.
But here I am 12:00AM and I have no clue what I am doing. I don't have really any income coming in. I have 20,000 sitting in a bank, and I feel like I have no skills.
I cannot seem to come home from work and work on stuff. I read a lot about entrepreneurship, but I have no clue where to go.
Also I know I am not motivated enough or aggressive enough. I want to be, but how the hell can I be when I have my parents who think I am idiot for trying, my friends who just tell me, "Well, if you ever become successful I am living in your basement, but for now I am going drinking"
The only support that I have is through this forum and a few groups I belong to. But it just isnt real enough. I know when I used to work in a bigger city I found a guy who was really motivated and we would work on stuff non - stop allllll night long and I would crawl to work the next day smiling and tired because I knew that I was moving forward. But he moved far away and so did I.
It took him less than 6 months and he taught himself programming, and built online businesses and I tried to learn it in a year and STILL CAN'T figure it out.
I am not even sure what I am good at... Sorry this is so long...
Shorten this up a bit.. How can I stay motivated, be more active, and move away from the tv? (However, I have a computer on my lap reading forums and educating myself) But, I read all of these stories of people moving forward and taking steps toward their future and I just seriously have noooooo clue what I can do... I know I need to pick my lane and stick with it. But I am not sure what lane to pick, how to pick one. I just need some help, Guidance, anything... I feel like a failure everyday that I am not doing something to progress.
