Success is Lonely

“I live in a solitude that is painful in youth, but delicious in maturity” ~ Albert Einstein.

I'm working hard because I have a dream. And that dream keeps me up at night. I wake up from sleep often times to find my subconscious working on the problems that I couldn't solve during the day.

I have a clear path to my goals this quarter. As Faraday said, “As straight-forward and infallible as a magnetic compass.”

I built the dataset. I reverse engineered my competitors ads. I found gaps in their marketing and product strategy. I built their weaknesses into my strengths. I left no stone unturned. I'm coming for you.

I am hyper-competitive. I really do not like losing. Why think about second place when I could get first? It just feels so much better.

My product is ready. My distribution is locked and loaded. My ad creatives are being made right now. The engine is running smoothly. Except now it's time to inject some nitrous into the chambers.

That might damage the pistons. 16+ hour work days for the past 2 weeks. I don't care. I don't feel it anymore. This is play to me; I love what I do. I love building things. But still, sometimes I neglect my body. I forget to eat and shower. I forget to sleep. I forget to clean up. Because I'm obsessed. It's taking over my life. Is this Steppenwolf?

I need to work harder. I need to cull every bit of friction in my life. Whether that be hiring a cleaner or ordering meal prep. Or ordering 150L of water from Amazon for the whole month as I have just done.

6 hours build.

6 hours marketing (Ads, SEO, Email, Organic SM)

2 hours research (Competitor analysis)

4 hours admin (Food, Gym, Meetings)

6 hours sleep (Could push to 4 hours if necessary. I cannot go below 4; I have tested that and it does not work.)
