You need to build a life where your baseline existence includes the process needed to improve and achieve the things that will bring you gratifications as byproducts to your efforts, not as the goal. For example, I will make content and put it out whether I'm wealthy or poor. Eventually, you will reap the benefits, but you have to put in the work to get there and then keep putting in the work. If I get rich off this, that will be awesome, and if I lose that money, I'll still be making videos because it's what I was doing anyway. Don't do something because it may make money since it may not. Do something because you want to and you'll pursue it so strongly because you're motivated that you will be able to achieve all those smaller things you wanted along the way anyway and you will have done it the way you wanted without regret. Regret is typically from what we didn't do, not what we failed at doing.
Seems like a lot right? All you have to do is start. Not tomorrow, not later, right now. Do the simplest thing you can do to make it real even if that's just creating a social media account for your business or whatever it may be.
