I feel you. Oh, I definitely do... You're in a rut.

What's that, you ask? Here's the official definition (Source: Cambridge Dictionary):



Given your post, this may sound counter-intuitive at first, but hear me out.

First, understand that "trying to make money" is not what "you do"—at least your brain doesn't see it that way. So when it comes to the method/business/side hustle/whatever, you definitely need to "friggen pick and stick with something", as said by yourself.

However, the actual thing that "you do" (as per the definition above) is sit in front of a screen, in a boring room that is very well known to you, possibly with not a lot of human interaction going on there, and think about how to get to the big bucks. Eat, sleep, and then repeat. That's where the "rut" comes from.

Change that. NOW! Get up, go for a run, and keep doing it regularly. Go lift some weights. Go for a long walk/ride/drive. Book the cheapest hotel you can find in a different, nearby city and spend the night there. Look for any adventure you can find.

You can also try setting up your workspace in a different room. If that's not an option, try a standing desk and position it diagonally in a corner, for example.

Meet (and talk to) as many people as possible on a daily basis, and do it even if you're an introvert like me.

Also, try a new hobby—even if it won't make you any money (because I know that's what you're after—don't worry, I'm too).

Why all this stuff that seemingly won't get you any richer? Because it will allow your brain to look at the things that are important to you differently, or in other words, create new pathways by disconnecting from your initial ideas—something that you definitely won't be able to do if you continue as per usual.

Blehhh, I cant decide on ONE money making venture.... I'm all over the place and Just need a slap.
I started with an ebook, I wrote it with AI, made a gorgeous cover and decent landingpage (IMO) Then ran some google ads... which was a bad idea haha too expensive, 70 click 7 opt ins @ $100 I dont mind paying but thats too much per conversion.

So I took to facebook groups on alt accounts and got another 10 opt ins with 100 clicks. took a few weeks.. and it was burning me out not seeing any success from that.

So I tried taboola which banned me literally the moment I made my account which was weird... and they just don't reply at all to bans so that was over.

Then built a web scraper to get emails for a specific niche, and have around 12k cold emails but now I was just looking at FB ads for affiliate products...

I'm pretty sure ill make something work but I just need to friggen pick and stick with something... I read a new thread on BHW here and im off trying a new venture before I even finished my last..

Just needed to vent, and someone to give me shit and straighten me out.
