This is what taking action has done for me (so far)!

[Andy Daniels]

I have a wantrepreneur friend who is basically addicted to posting really pointless shit on Instagram, and it makes him look like such a douchebag. He just sits around all day and makes it look like this mega-successful god of an entrepreneur, when the real secret is he's just mentally masturbating. Yikes. (I'm actually going to trade in my iPhone for a cheaper flip phone to delete these bullshit distractions from my life).

When I see this kind of action-faking out there, I get pretty introspective, and take a look at what I've done, and I make a promise to myself to never be like that. TIME FOR REAL ACTION.

I read the brilliant thread by @Fox which you all can find right here, about starting a web design company. This turned on a huge light bulb over my head because I know so many companies and individuals with shitty websites, that really need to be re-done.

1. I took the Udemy course on working with HTML and CSS twice so I really understood it
2. Everyday I practice practice practice with the concepts and get more comfortable with it
3. I reached out to a friend with a small business, offered to build her a site for free, I am meeting with her tomorrow to discuss design, and goals for the site
4. I wrote down all my Fastlane goals and set them all to get done ASAP (thank you @V8Bill 😀)
5. I am drafting a letter to send to my friends/family explaining that I will be putting 100% into my business, if they are with me, great. If not, I'm pressing on anyway. Nothing can stop me.

This may not seem like much, but so far I have achieved more than I ever thought possible just because I shifted my mindset and exercised discipline with my life. I developed healthier habits, I've been saving more money, I've been spending nights inside regurgitating code while my friends were out drinking at the bar. In the end, it all comes down to your why. WHY do you want to succeed? For me, I have vivid images and visions about where I want to be, and I will stop at nothing to achieve that.

Truly, I've never been more uncomfortable and unsatisfied with my current life. I won't be fully satisfied until I've achieved my dream lifestyle. But you can't achieve that by sitting around. I have to bust my balls right now so I can sit back and relax later on. I am so happy I found TMF and UNSCRIPTED . I want to thank @MJ DeMarco @Fox @SinisterLex @Andy Black @Vigilante and all the fellow fastlaners that have kept me aligned to the unscripted life.

Now I gotta go, I have a website to build. I'll post more progress later on!
