I feel like a loser (alien.top)

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?

Well to me your set up sounds like dream. To be that young and fully financially free is a major blessing. I'm in my late twenties and still building and haven't caught my break/stride yet. And let me assure you every day is pain when you're financially strapped.

But what I will say is that boredom is peace. So enjoy your peace while it lasts. Because as you continue to live and evolve, so do your problems. And things can change for better or worst overnight and in unexpected ways.

Also growth and productivity don't always have to be about money. Invest in your personal growth while you have the "downtime." Become a better you. Get in great shape. See the world. Expand your experiences and the next opportunity will present itself with time.

Our guy doesn’t even know how good he has it. He will look back on this day and wonder how he could have it all back. Literally living the dream. Just keep learning
