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?

    is this a job or a business? will it make money while you are sleeping? if not, its a job. A business should buy you free-time. Keep in mind most (non scientific gut feeling) business strike lightning at the 10-12 year mark with multiple pivots.

    When you feel down about work try to feel up about something else such as a sport, relationship or hey start another side gig. I currently have three irons in the fire and some could argue I should focus all my time on the biggest one… thats not me. I like the chase. So I found partners to help me carry the load so that I can do the parts that I enjoy.
