What Would You Do First If You Were Starting From Absolute Zero?
I'm 21, dead broke, and completely lost in this AI era — and I need honest help. 🙏 Everywhere I look, people are building systems, earning online, creating leverage with AI. And here I am... overthinking every single step, overwhelmed before I even begin. No budget for tools. No budget for courses. No clear idea where to start. Every time I try to learn — AI automation, startups, entrepreneurship — I get hit with so much information that I just freeze. Mentally drained. Every. Single. Day. I'm not lazy. I genuinely want to build something real. I want systems that work FOR me. I want to solve problems and create value. But I can't even pick a starting point without second-guessing myself into paralysis. I've looked at AI automation, content creation, freelancing. I understand just enough to know I don't know enough — and that fear keeps me stuck. So I'm asking the people who've actually walked this path. If you were 21, zero budget, zero experience, and 1 hour a day — what's the FIRST thing you'd do? Not a roadmap. Not a course recommendation. Just the first real door you'd walk through. Be specific. Be honest. I can handle it. 🎯 I'm reading every single reply.

I am at the same stage as yours. It does get overwhelming but I realized the tools , the updates and the amount of info. It's never going to end. Not everything needs to be understood or learned . For now I am just focused on using one automation (n8n) and solving specific problem which need simpler setup or nodes. Thats it. My next step would be selling that specific solution or service to real business and then i m sure I will have that clarity to which direction I want to go into. Hope this helps u too.
