Hey guys, so for awhile now I've been into business and entrepreneurship related things. I plan on having a business in the future, not quite sure what I'm looking for though. I got introduced to the business world when I became a sneaker enthusiast. For a long time, I figured my business would be about fashion/shoes.
As I grow older, I start to come up with other ideas and I'm so confused on what I should be working on. Currently, I have an Instagram account dedicated to shoes/fashion. Not only am I working on that account every day, I also am learning code. I've been using several free programs online, bought a couple HTML and CSS books, and I have a mentor who has been coding for 7-8years and is a genius! The thing is, I feel like I'm losing grip on my coding and everything else. I just haven't been putting in time and working on anything. I always think that it's because I'm too busy with sports, school, and appointments. But I know that I can't use those things as an excuse, I've heard tons of stories of people who have much more in their lives going on and are way more successful than I am right now. I feel like I'm just not as dedicated anymore, the first month of coding I spent some time on it every day, and now I barely touch it once a week.
Do I need to focus on one thing at a time? I'm thinking of getting a calendar to put on my bedroom door and dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to coding. Starting this habit will definitely help me in the future, and maybe I'll add more onto that 30 minutes. I feel like I'm truly passionate about all of this, but if I'm not working on it, does it mean I don't want it bad enough? This is the reason why my mind is confusing me, I know I really want it, I talk about it all the time but I just don't execute. That's when I start to ask myself is if I really want it. I'm not sure if this makes any sense to you, but I'm just not sure if I should continue learning/working on one thing at a time. My instagram account does not take up much time, I dedicate lots of time to my Instagram account. It's just the code thing that's getting to me. When I think about my coding future, I get an adrenaline rush and I just feel the excitement. I love that feeling, but I just don't feel it all the time and I feel like that's not how it should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
