I will use this as a journal to keep track on my progress and on my business’s progress.
After deep thought and evaluation, I realized my problems:
After deeper research, I found out it is called Shiny Objects Syndrome, effectively jumping from one project to the other without completing any.
I can spend a year preparing and launching a business, but then my intrest diminishes after not seeing unicorn results. This will be tackled by setting realistic goals, something I’ve never done before believe it or not.
1.I’m usually high(metaphorically speaking) and infatuated while working on a project, and as soon as I launch and things go sideways, I quit and on to the next shiny idea I go.
I’ve been doing this self vicious cycle for 4 years now. It’s time I stop.
I’ve been working on a project for almost two years carefully planning everything and the minute it went live and I only had two sales, I lost my commitment because I was expecting Amazon’s revenues in my first day.
Expectations can kill dreams.
I am making an active decision, that I will completely commit to improving my business and sales, or at least keep at it for the rest of the year.
Even If things don’t go my way and I have to go back to my old job, I will continue to keep my commitment to improve it.
If I can keep the commitment, by the end of the year I should have:
If I cannot keep myself committed to seeing this through, then I deserve a dead end job which, ironically, I’d have to commit the rest of my life to.
I’m launching my business on 2.04. I’ve already generated 5k emails of potential buyers. Assuming the worst, even if I have 0 sales, I will stay commited to making it work.
(To be honest 0 sales would be a product problem which I don’t believe it is since it’s already on the market one way or another) -> before I’m hit in the head with a stone, let me say that I’m differentiating by offering better pricing, longer warranties and better customer service. I won’t be doing any other projects for the rest of my “challenge”
With that being said, Let the commitment games begin.
After deep thought and evaluation, I realized my problems:
- I’m not committing to a business after launch.
- I’m comparing my progress to other people’s progress.

- Like a lot of people, I’m being sold everyday on Instagram pictures of fake lifestyles and I’m comparing myself to the well crafted “lifestyles” of others. I cannot delete it as I will use it for my business. However, I will be mostly focusing on my business and trying to ignore the rest. I also compare other businesses in the same category with mine. Even though I understand they’re already established and have been around a while, I aspire my business to be like theirs some day but I keep comparing my day 1 with their day 1000. This must also stop.
If I can keep the commitment, by the end of the year I should have:
- a viable business that keeps growing.
- a better understanding of committing to a project therefore improving S.o.S
- £10k revenue/ month
If I cannot keep myself committed to seeing this through, then I deserve a dead end job which, ironically, I’d have to commit the rest of my life to.
