Taking action.

That is the one thing I need to do right now. I’ve had had many ideas in my head that went up in smoke because of my inability to put these into action. I am almost forty years old and…. I got nothing to show for?

Wait.

No.

That is some bullshit negative self-talk that I am engaging myself right now. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

Alright. What I did there is something I learned from one of Impact Theory’s brain hack tips.

Aaand we’re back.

One of the mind-blowing ideas that I have learned from these couple of days is Gary Vaynerchuk’s simple hack for overcoming writer’s block, documenting over creating. Many of the successful entrepreneurs like him, Seth Godin and Tim Ferriss, to name a few, are known to put out a lot of content for their followers. They have given so much value to the people who look up to them that they are comfortably reaping its rewards.

Documenting everything and finding some gems in the dirt along the way is a wonderful way to start.

I am now writing every thought and idea that comes through my head. Then I am going to share most of it to here, hopefully some people might find it interesting or helpful. Well, not literally everything. I don’t want to share those nasty things that I think about sometimes. But there might be some niche for that, I just don’t if this is the right medium for it. So, there are some limitations here to what we can share.

Anyways, I’ve been binge watching some Gary Vee videos this whole week. I wanted to absorb everything that he’s been spewing and learn as much from what he said. Plus, he’s so fucking entertaining as well, which, I don’t know… if it’s just me delaying the task at hand, the hard stuff that I told myself I’m going to do, like learning to code and justifying it as a learning time for me.

But here’s the thing, If I don’t put into action the things I’ve learned from the videos that I’ve been watching, then it would be a waste of my time, right?

I have to find some balance here.

Having set my foot on the path towards mastery, which is an endless way, a limitless endeavor, I find myself conflicting having so much time and being patient, with not having goals and working towards it. That is the danger of self-paced learning that I am in. It is so much easier to do away with working on your tasks and just kicking back and getting distracted by whatever shiny thing that grabs my attention.

Here’s a problem I can see with documenting my life, I have to gather all those thoughts and make it coherent for it to be consumable. As I try to do it here as I go along, I tend to lose track of where this post should be heading. This is a meandering mess. I guess you’ll just have to bear with me here as I learn the ropes, so to speak.

Anyways...

Garyvee gave me some wonderful insights on how to become the person you want to be in this social media age.

Should check out his video below because there are tons of information there that everyone should know about.

I’ve started an online course on Udemy, Colt Steele’s Web Development Bootcamp. It’s been great so far. I am almost halfway through it so I am still far from reaching any competency in it. I am also planning on taking Launch School’s Slow Path to Proficiency course after I am done with the online Bootcamp, which I am using as prep work for Launch School. But before enrolling in that one and shelling out a couple hundred bucks a month, I am going to exhaust every free resource that is out there.

There is so much free content on learning how to code that anyone with a computer and internet connection can start their journey to become web developers or software engineers.
