Although I have accomplished quite a bit in my short lifetime, I’m going through a stage where I feel like a loser.

I’ve been slacking off and honestly kind of board with my business. It’s at the point where I can get by without doing much work.

Everytime I come back to my hometown my family just doesn’t get it. They don’t understand my entrepreneurial mindset.

I’m 21 years old and I’ve built an online fitness coaching business.

I’ve generated multiple six figures over the last 2-3 years.

I decided I was finished with college after my freshman year and wanted to pursue my business all the way.

I moved to San Diego and I’ve been there for about two years.

Although most people would say you’re doing amazing and killing it.

I know I could be doing better.

I want a bigger opportunity, I want to work harder, and develop a vision so huge it scares me.

I feel like my next evolution is coming up but right now I’m in the growing pains where I feel a little lost and unsure of what’s next.

I have a few ideas and I’m testing out the market for them but it’s an uncomfortable period.

I feel like I’m just coasting and not growing. It’s not a fun place to be.

Any advice?

I’m in the same place man (although I’m in music and not anywhere close to that financially) relatively speaking I’m much more successful than most in my field especially for my age. I have a lot of skills and experience but none of the paths I’m currently on excite me. It’s taken me two years to really figure out that I need to step away and buckle down when it comes to personal health and expression.

For me that looks like getting a sustainable part time job outside of music to fill my time and let me explore my own creativity without having to rely on opportunities I’m unsure of.

For you it will look different but focusing on health and wellness will never be a bad choice.
