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?

    You’re not alone buddy. Plateaus come and go. Give yourself some grace and take the “down time” to get curious. Peek into things that aren’t biz related and others that are outside of your niche. Some of the most successful entrepreneurs and businesses marry two unlikely value sets to create something truly special. Take heart.

      This part of entrepreneurship could use coaching. You should hire a life coach or therapist or honestly both. I slipped into real toxic depression and alcohol, drugs etc when I got to my most successful part. Partially at least because I lost the thing that made me feel accomplished and gave me something to do. I did too well at automation and hiring sop etc and made myself obsolete. You need some guidance on how to aim toward your next project. Entrepreneurs unfortunately need to be self starters
