Find your "path"
Do you ever feel stuck in life?
Maybe you want to look better but you just can't get yourself to go to the gym
Or maybe you want to meet someone special but you can't get yourself to build up the courage to someone out
One of the worst feelings in the world is feeling stuck because you know what activities you should be doing but you're simply not taking action
However what's even worse is feeling stuck and having absolutely no clue in the world as to how to solve the issue that you find yourself in
I know for me personally this is exactly how I felt in my early twenties
When I was seeing people on Instagram making tens of thousands of dollars a month while was making a paltry $42,500 as a CPA working in management consulting
I knew I wanted to make more money and start to gain some more time and location freedom but I had absolutely no idea how to go about it
Which is ironic because I am quite a smart guy but for some reason I just couldn't figure it out
Put another way, I knew what end result I wanted but I didn't know the path to get there
Fortunately over time, what it came to realize is that if you want extraordinary Rewards such as making five figures a month then you need to take extraordinary actions
For me this was grinding out YouTube videos in my parents basement while working 50 plus hours per week in management consulting
Everyone of my family members and friends questioned what the hell I was doing and why I was wasting my time making these goofy animated videos when I could have been trying to climb the corporate ladder instead
But for some strange reason I knew that if I just kept following the path that everyone else around me was I would end up with their results
And to be totally transparent I wasn't exactly thrilled by the lifestyles that they were living
Therefore if right now you feel stuck whether that's physically, mentally emotionally, or financially
The best thing you can do is be honest with yourself in terms of where you want to go
For me it was scaling up my income to be able to afford to travel and retire early
For you it could be making more money to spend on your family or buy a new car that you desperately need
Once you know what you want then you can pick a path to get there
Of course I advocate for YouTube as a great business model (or path) because it's the one I've been successful with
Truly any business model that leverages the power of the internet is one that can make you large sums of money
While also offering you the benefit of being able to outsource parts are all of the work which will avoid having your new business turn into a second job
Then really all it comes down to is mastering whatever skills that are required to make that business work
On YouTube, it's developing the skills of ideation, video production and packaging
For a blog, it's SEO, writing and the use of monetization systems such as affiliate marketing and a selling of digital products and services
You see when you actually know where you're going and have a plan to get there most of the anxiety around feeling stuck gets eliminated immediately
Then all it comes down to is taking action every single day until you reach your goal
That's how you've accomplished everything you've achieved in life so far and the same goes for achieving your income goals through whatever business model you decide to pursue
So I hope reading this email today helped you gain some clarity on how you can get a little less stuck and move a little bit closer to the goals that you want to achieve
Happy Sunday,
Adam
