Too much work or not

[Novis]

I do have self guilt of not working 12h a day towards my goals.
I feel like my work ethic is weak and could be better.

I do have realistic plans to make a lot of money. Im on a right path, but feeling guilt of not working every hour of the day feels horrible.

I know i need to give it my all, but i also dont want to go crazy.
Is it possible to go big, if i work like half of the day and rest do something else not related to fastlane?

Thanks

You have been brainwashed by the grind culture. That's where the guilt comes from.

Results do not grow linearly with time spent working. They grow exponentially with the quality of your decisions.

If that wasn't the case, all janitors would be on the cover of Forbes magazine.

Here are some more useful questions to assess your progress:

• What is actually happening in those 12 hours of work?
• What type of business are you building?
• What type of skills are your mastering and what are going to use them for?
• How much are you automating and delegating your work to leverage your time?

How hard you can focus, the quality of your work and the soundness of your judgment will ultimately determine the final outcome.

You will most likely end up working 10+ hours a day, but that's more of a side-effect of being successful, not the primary cause of it.

12 hour is decently hardcore, considering if you need to sleep 8 hours, that leave other four hours for admin matters, exercise and relaxation.

You already hitting the reasonable limit.

The limiting factor shouldn’t be hours it should be your own biology.

No point pushing 16 hours for a few days only to collapse and rest the next few days. You end up even working less hours.

Just skimmed through your introduction, here's some quick thoughts I had. IMO I would skip the personal branding/becoming famous and focus on your business/branding with the pencils, pens, paints, brushes. Maybe focus on one product and making it a great option for anyone who is looking for a next-level product in that space.

What are the problems people are having in this space? For example, I saw an ad for a marker on Youtube the other day that pointed out their markers won't seep through paper onto the next page, and can be seen clearly on top of black/dark surfaces. They sold the markers in a kit with lots of colours to use.

No clue who owns the business or created the ad. No famous person attached. The owner of the business may not have had their hand in any of it asides from giving the OK and throwing money at it. If anything, create the product and give samples to influencers who already have a fanbase, give them a great affiliate program to advertise on their pages.
