Day 1 — Struggles & Wins (get real) 5 Struggles - I just quit my corporate job at 22 and am living on savings in the most expensive city in America. Got a bunch of pushback from my Mom and I am super excited to go all in on something I love, but at the same time, not having a consistent income coming in is scary. I will not lie, as bullish as I am, I have moments of high self doubt. I ask myself how the fuck will I be able to do this. What if I stop working hard? What if i burnout? What if I lose motivation? What if I stop being discipline? What if there’s actually something wrong with me? Every single corporate job/internship I’ve had I’ve hated with my entire heart. I either have to figure out the game of entrepreneurship or I’m literally going to hate life. - One of my biggest “fears” is social injury. Fear of embarrsament. Fear of feeling inferior and having my ego bruised. Because of this, I can try to protect myself by “not caring” or trying to be cool. At the core, I just fear rejection and embarrassment, and I feel enslaved in my own skin. - I’ve always been the underdog. The person people overlooked. The person at an event no one would be interested to talk to. The person that flew under the radar. I never liked that feeling and it angered me. - I struggle with social anxiety and a need to please people. As a kid, I was always the person who would hide behind my Mom and not want to talk to people. I got to college and realized I was weird in convo. I would walk around with my head down. I’ll be in conversation worrying about what to say and how this person is perceiving me. I started dedicating so much of my time and effort into learning charisma and how to be a better and more confident communicator. - I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing. I have a vision and a goal and am not entirely sure how to get there. I have no clue how to delegate and I fear hiring people because of losing control and being responsible for paying them. I get caught up in so many time wasting tasks because of paralysis that comes over me to take action. I feel like I’m swimming in a world of uncertainty and it can be a little uncomfortable.
