For a long time, I kept thinking the next course or program would be the thing that finally made everything click, I’d feel motivated for a short while then overwhelmed and eventually frustrated with myself for still not moving forward. What actually changed things wasn’t better information, it was slowing down, choosing one direction and sticking with it long enough to really understand what I was doing even when it felt uncomfortable. That phase wasn’t fun at all but it’s what eventually led to things becoming consistent and these days the business averages around $700–$800 a day, but the bigger shift was finally feeling steady instead of scattered.
