What you're experiencing is normal. Keep going. It sounds like you enjoy the building aspect of business, but the sales and marketing part isn't exactly your cup of tea. This is the case for most people who want to actually help others. You're probably not a pushy person, nor do you feel comfortable haggling with others. On the other hand, you love the before and after of a project. You love the smile on someone's face when things go well.

Hang in there, and try to figure where you need to make some adjustments so you can push forward.

Congrats! Congrats and congrats! I love reading posts like these. You should be proud of yourself.

I'm not sure why you have the god curse in here. Some people want to be thorough. Some people have OCD. Some people delay actually doing what they need to do, because of fear, so they come with a million other things to do. Some people are highly competitive and have to out-do others. Some people do in fact have un-diagnosed issues.

I wouldn't put perfectionism under a god curse umbrella. Different people have different reasons for their perfectionism.

I don't know of a business you could run for the holidays that would take a chunk out of your debt. Would you pick up projects?

I just did a quick search for generative AI on Freelancer and quite a few results came up, including this one that pays $750-$1500 for AI experts.

Maybe a few of those projects could bring in the cash you need to reduce your debt. If it works for you, you can sign up on similar sites to get more projects.

Social Tradia is a legit site. They will ask you for recent stats though. I suggest reviving your account before you reach out to them. Get some viral posts going by reposting popular reels or posts in your niche.

Check your Explore page and see what is doing well - repost but give credit to the original account. If a few of your posts make it to the explore page, that will drive up engagement and make your account more valuable.

Hope this helps!

Intermittent fasting will help you lose weight. If you can train yourself to only have two meals a day (a large breakfast and late lunch), you will lose the weight. If you get hungry in the evening, have something light like fruit or salad. If you throw cardio into the mix, you will really drop the pounds. Good luck!

I just visited your IG page. I like the color scheme and consistency with the posts. However, as someone with almost 70K followers on IG, I can tell you that people click on posts with larger letters. This doesn't have to be the case with all posts, but it helps to mix it up.

After your following reaches about 300 people, then your posts will be eligible to hit the explore page. You want people to be able to read your posts without actually having to click on them. If a post catches their attention, they will go to your page and check other posts.

I like that you are targeting specific niches/ clients with your posts and hashtags. To grow your following quickly, comment on large accounts that your clients follow.

Hope this helps.

I really like your site! It's attractive, organized, engaging, responsive, easy to navigate and it has a clear CTA for your links.

I really like the swinging "welcome to site solvers" when viewed on mobile, and the bounce on desktop.

Well done!

You can either find a way to produce it locally, then pitch the sale of it to a larger company, or you can reach out to one of those invention companies. I believe you would be selling the idea to them. Don't know if that would work for you after putting so much into it.

If your blog is well optimized, it will drive traffic to your website and get you more customers. A friend of mine just recently started adding blog articles to his website (I told him he was crazy for not doing it before) and he's getting more interested visitors - who convert to clients.

I walk daily. It does wonders, plus it great for getting ideas when you're stuck on something. If you're into some other form of exercise, start with at least one day a week.

It relieves stress, clears your mind and is good for your health.

I used to work in oil & gas. I still to this day stay in touch with a lot of people from the industry. Some have become friends and we all live in different states. You never know when a contact can turn into a good opportunity.

Do it, but be careful. If you are both on LinkedIn for example, that would be a professional way to connect and stay in touch.
