When I read your posts, I can't help but ask myself, why are you in such a hurry? $1M+ from 17yrs/o to 19yrs/o is a bold goal. I mean, it's a good goal to shoot for if you have the right mindset, which I'm not sure you have. Otherwise, you are just setting yourself up for failure.
Don't beat yourself up if you are having a few bad days. You'll have plenty of those if you want to get to 1M+. Your first business will most likely fail (That's the reality sorry). People aren't going to believe in you. Your friends won't understand. You'll have bad days. You'll make mistakes. Things are going to take way more time than you expect. But so what? You need to do it anyway. You win, or you learn. When I feel like shit, I remind myself that my situation isn't too serious. The important part is that I'm moving in the right direction everday. This last sentence might be unpopular on this forum but sometimes the right direction is to take a day off and recover.The optimalism ideal is not a distant shore to be reached but a distant star that guides us and can never be reached. As Carl Rogers pointed out, ‘The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.' - Tal Ben-Shahar
