TOPIC: I'm so happy to be happy again.

HOLY SHIT.. I FELT LIKE I JUST WROTE YESTERDAY AND THREE DAYS ALREADY WENT BY? DANG TIME IS FLYING.
Shits going well. I approached a girl today at the mall when I was getting my watch fixed.. got her number. I havent been doing much approaching or hanging out with girls or working out because i've been spending all my time on the business. This week I want to start hitting the gym in the mornings before I start my day. I also want to start approaching on fri-sat... anyways.. lifes good.

Whats going on everybody. Things are slowly coming together for me Im closing in on my third official week of business and have been doing really good! Really proud of how far i've come already. Starting this Monday, I will be hitting the gym and stick to my bulking diet consistently. I've maintained the strength I left off with when I needed to drop the gym for a bit to get the business going. Now I am ready to hit it hard again. My life is now going to be Business/Fitness/Girls, not just Business/Business/Business haha. Plan to start hitting the numbers game with approaching within the next few weeks. My next major goal is to move out. I'm really tired of my parents and all the drama in my house, and I need a place to pull . I also just want to be independent and do my own thing. Its probably early, but being this young in life, Im just gonna do it.

Matter fact, that seems to be my mindset for everything now.

"Im just gonna do it".

This is awesome man, good job for taking action and actually making money from it. Subbed to this thread fo sho!!

Thanks man! My business saved me. I couldn't work at my job anymore and it was just time to take that leap! Now gotta work on them lays.. haha

Whats going on guys, been a while. Business is going good, there are lots of ups and downs...

However, i'm still making money, and I'm officially starting a legit weight lifting routine / bulking diet tomorrow.

I cant believe how far i've come.. 3 months ago I was waking up every morning to work for someone else and i've transitioned into working for my own company full time. Its crazy what you can do if you put your mind to it, all about dedication and being disciplined. Don't give up either when things don't go the way you want, because when they do go your way, it feel so fucking awesome.

Will update you guys with numbers from the gym tomorrow.

I HAVENT POSTED SINCE NOVEMBER?????

Damn its been a long time since i've updated this log. However, I feel like its the appropriate thing to do. Business has been going. The business has hit a stand still, not because I can't make any more than I am right now, but I need to look into other forms of advertisement / marketing. I've pretty much killed craigslist in my area and my next venture will be building up my yelp page and the SEO of my site. Looking to make a full time liveable income by this summer.

Things that have happened ever since I've last posted:

- Been bulking and working on gaining strength.. I've put on about 10 pounds in the past 3 months.. Gaining lots of strength.
- Parents seem like they are going to get a divorce anytime now... its always shaky.. Dad just got a DUI.
- Have not gotten to approaching like I want to. One of the biggest things I wanted out of the self-employed life was an awesome lifestyle.. including girls, partys, clubs, etc.. Want to start having some fun. First i'll get my wallet wet

The service business has really changed my life, in terms of the way I dress, act, talk, etc. While I grow my service business, I have been looking into the business of buying and selling. Over the past couple months I've done a little bit and have made a couple hundred dollars in the process. I've been practicing in the Radar Detector market. Always been interested in them, used them, and know a lot about the prices and how fast they can sell. I just hit up the local classifieds a couple nights a week and see whats out there. Definately something I think I could make an extra 1-2k a month easy from if Im consistent with it.

I'll try to update this as frequently as possible.. Maybe each week.

Till next time fellas

This is going to be a hard update. If not the hardest.

Guys, its been quite a while since i've last updated you.. I feel like i'm starting every log update the same way.

Between the last post and this post, a lot of things have happened. A lot of shit has changed, and a lot of shit is changing, some changes are great and some not so great.

Me and my business "partner", well not really partners. (We both own our own companies, in different states but we follow the same business models and are growing our companies at the same time. This way as problems come up we can sort them out with help available.)

We have gotten a lot of stuff done. We have worked on policies our companies should have, sorted out systems we needed in place, figured how to hire people efficiently by screening out all the no-go applicants. We have put lots of thought into our systems in place because we do plan to scale pretty large. Sales have been decent, but nothing earth shattering. This is due to time spent on the actual business, + I have been putting some time into another company I am starting.

YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT, ANOTHER COMPANY.

Yes, your "I don't know what to do with my life, busboy at a breakfast restaurant from AUG 2016", works for himself and owns two companies. I'm not making much $$$ with the second company yet but In the next few weeks I will be. Its another service business, pretty related to my first business so they go hand in hand together.

I've gotten laid, I've been doing some approaches, I almost got with the hottest chick from our gym. (Literally made it to her house and was inches away from the kiss, then she brought up that BF shit lol.. )

Unfortunately, where theres good there is also bad.

I've been fucking up with my sleep schedule, waking up to late every day. Need to fix that shit, I've been going a little to hard with the partying and going out.

But the biggest elephant in the room right now.. Me and my father got into a big fight (Not physical) , I mean a huge one.

It started with him calling me lazy for being a business owner, mad that I didn't want him involved in my companies etc. (I'm considering letting him in the second company because I think it could change him for the better). Well none the less, this fight was huge. Arguing, screaming, he took my car away from me (That I pay for... WTF?)... kicked me out for 15 minutes. I was getting an uber to go to the airport to go chill in CALI for a while. Then he called me back inside lmfao. He left for a few hours and we didn't speak since.

Were going on 5 days that we arent talking, My mom told me that he is wondering if i'm still mad. And yeah, I'm still kinda fucking mad but, when can you do.

I thought that was bad, well no. The shittiest situation I was in just got 10X shittier. Yesturday, my dad told my mom after coming home from the doctor that he may or may not have a Brain Tumor.. could be benign, could be cancerous, we don't know yet. He goes on April 3rd to get tested. I'm honestly shitting my pants, this could be life changing. My dad could be gone in the next few months. I honestly feel like I need to go make up with my dad because who knows whats going to happen.

If my dad goes, Another trial I will be put through. I will become the main source of income for the family. Meaning, moving out won't be an option because my mom and my brother are just helpless puppies in the middle of the road without my father. (Even though they are both older than me, ironic! Right?)

I'm honestly scared for whats going to happen, and It just makes me want to work even harder in the day to forget about it. It also makes me want to go party, fuck girls and drink. I don't even drink, but I want too.

Guys, if anyone can put some support in here, I would really appreciate it. This is one of the worst stages in my life I feel, and its really fucking with my emotions. I remember back before my business, I felt so depressed. Not knowing where I was going, and now. I know where I'm headed, but I'm not sure whats going to happen to my dad and that really frightens me. He's one of the best people I know. I'm tearing up as I right this. I feel like as if one thing starts going great, another thing shits on me. Fuck my life.

Oh and I almost forgot! I got my first speeding ticket! Lucky me

This is gonna be rough.

Hang on there, things will get better. Everything always works out in the end. Hoping your dad's brain scan will show it's nothing serious after all

I don't know how I've missed this thread all these months , just saw it today for the first time and read everything from the beginning, its crazy how much I could relate to you in your first couple posts . The past few months I've lost alot of motivation , life just hit me hard and I felt hopeless , my dad kept feeding me all these negative thoughts like " You will never be able to survive alone" , talks about how living costs are soo expensive , always talking about how no one is able to live and afford a house nowadays , etc , etc .... all that negative talk just got to me and made me feel hopeless , I just thought what is the point of life anyway if were all just gona work a shitty job then die .

I'm trying my very best to get out of this negative mindset , I'm trying to look at Positive things in life , I'm trying to see the glass as half full . I think the best way to achieve this is to set goals and just stay focused on them , right now loosing fat is my goal and thats all Im thinking off .

Hope everything turns out good for you bro , I know times can be tough , I try and be as close to my family as possible but sometimes theres too much fighting , if you live with someone 24/7 you can go crazy lol , hopefully I can move out soon and visit them once a month and Im sure our relationship will get stronger .

Hey man. Yeah I can totally relate. Turns out, being a business owner was the answer to my problem.

One thing I learned is money cant make you happy, but you need to make sure money is not getting in the way of whatever makes you happy. I reccomend everyone has some sort of income from a blog or business. Something to make you money while you sleep. That way you can focus on the things you love.

Ill update this in a bit, lifes gotten better. Business has been suffering from a couple things, but im going to turn it around this month.

Hey Crexty, just stumbled onto your log.
Hope things go better man! keep working at it!

Is your dad better?

Yes, money is crucial but isn't the end goal. It's just a means to an end.

Have a great week!

Wow. Long Time since i've been here.

Yes my father is doing better and we are getting along now.
