Regret

Let's say I'm 30. I'm looking back in life. One of the things that I don't want to say is, "I wish I worked harder when I was 17."

I don't want that to happen.

I'm 17.

Half of 2024 has passed.

For the past 6 months, I've gained mistakes and lessons.

One of the mistakes that I'm aware of is not working hard enough. I feel I can do more. Knowing this fact is a stepping stone though—at least I'm aware of my potential.

The reason why I wasn't working hard enough is because I lack direction. My actions seem scattered. The direction is all over.

A mentor?

I wish I could afford one.

Even if I could afford one, they'll just say to send more outreach. And when doing outreach, you'll need lots of software—which I can't afford yet.

Right now, my mentors are those coaches I see on YouTube.

Like Alex Hormozi and Luke Belmar.

They motivate and teach me more about sales and other things.

I really think sales is my problem.

Sales is the reason why I don't have any clients yet.

It's my outreach.

I sent 230+ outreach for the past 6 days.

The response rate was low—I only got 1 lead as well—this means, my outreach sucks.

I need to fix it.

This is causing me to have no clients and a lack of direction.

And I have to figure this out soon or else I'll regret it.
