Anyone have this issue where they just get… extremely lazy or demotivated?
Especially when it’s going well?
Yes, complacency and being overwhelmed are two completely different things… but I’ve had so much trouble with both.
I’ve had several small businesses over the years. All of it go well, then I fuck it up.
Recently, I started a store selling things. It’s going really well… but of course… I should be diversifying my inventory. Because some months I would literally make $100, and other months, I’d make $15,000. I have a LOT of free time, and A LOT of ideas, I have 4 things swirling in my head that I know I should get started on.
But it feels like I’m just STUCK. In the back of my head I always think “I have so much on my plate already… I have to make this, and ship that, it’s too much!” But I look at my day and I literally spend 3 hours working… I have so much free time to work on other things.
It’s complacency. “It’s going good enough, so why work harder”, even though I know those $100 months are scary and I might not be able to make enough to pay my rent…
I know I should start those 4 other things I have in my head. For example, I used to make custom furniture and I get commissioned for it. It’s easy, I’m experienced, I already have the clients, and it’ll help out with paying for things on those $100/months.
But… I just sit here. Typing on Reddit instead of just doing it.
I need a way to light a fire under my ass… but I always feel either overwhelmed or complacent.
