Hi guys. I've been on this forum ever since I was fourteen years old (i'm 18 now), and hustled since I was a teenager; whether it was my large youtube channel, my graphic design business, or whatever else. Over the past few months, I have made numerous bad investments and lost about $10,000 which was my entire net worth. I have a graphic design service that barely makes any money anymore (less than minimum wage), and every second of my days these past few weeks has been filled with thoughts on how to get it back. I've read all of MJ's books, which is what led me to start my graphic design service, but was never able to scale it and therefore never even got a taste of the fastlane; just created myself a low-paying job.
I am busy literally 16 hours a day now and have broken up everything I need to do into segments; in the morning I am learning web development, in the afternoon I am in the gym, in the evening I am finishing design projects, and at night I am uploading YouTube videos. I've never been more productive in my life, and have been brainstorming any possible way I can give value; yet feel like I'm stuck with nothing.
I feel trapped and want to burst into tears but I'm not going to stop until something works. I have never hustled this hard in my life, yet I feel the most suffocated right now. I don't have the balls to tell my parents because they will lose all respect for me. I feel like I need to find some way to branch out what I already know whilst simultaneously learning a new skill that I think is more profitable. If anyone has any advice for my situation please let me know.
