DAY 0
Today is day zero for me.
I am 26, did quite lot of fails and today starts my SAGA.
It will be hell of a story. The story of failing and going, the story of doing the stuff that is easy to tell, hard to do.
The story of doing.
The goal of this saga is twofold.
I want to
- show you (and myself) whats possible if you sail off the port of safety
- fullfill my potential = get to the absolute edge of the possibilities I can do
- create the best resource in the category for people who would like to follow a similar path
Who am I?
Hard to answer. In terms of things I did, I played poker semi-pro, studied psychology at uni, work at marketing (creating websites) and did all types of other jobs like: selling donughts at wembley, washing dishes, coordinate the vaccination at corona center etc…
Also, I failed at ton of things: creating the content for Twitter (tried for couple of months, then leave), make business, let many people I wish otherwise go out of my life, but it probably should be like that.
I was struggling hardly, because “finding my path” was full of direction changes, so it was hard for me to keep some sort of identity and therefore it was like a sand.
But I found a relief in started thinking that I am lifetime learner. Meaning = there is no end destination and I will just learn no matter what.
Because of this frame shift it helped me to see my failures rather than the pivots, or lessons learned, which is another thing that defines me:
sometimes who grind hard. If you would see me today, you wont believe it, you will see someone who has nothing. Someone who is in point 0. But I know. Believe me I know, I went hard everytime, bring everything at the court and just went.
Of course, because I switched so many times, it is not so visible. But as Alex Hormozi says: Work works more on you than you on it, which I wholeheartly believe.
Of course I have a plenty of bad habits and personal characteristics as well: low confidence, people pleaser (big time), cant articulate my feelings, avoiding of hard conversasions, avoidant in (romantinc) relationships, obssesive nature (when applied to “toxic things”, such some girl that started ghosting you, could be really bad.
Anyway, that who I am as well, but wholeheartedly believe I can re-learn and change lot of it.
Ok, now lets have a look why I am at day 0 toda?.
Why it is today a day 0?
Well, mostly because I started documenting this journey, but also because as you can see, I think I am really just at the beginning. I get rid of
Work
No need to go very much into history. Last 2 – 3 years I was making a living as a freelance web designer, financially it was ok (mostly bcs it was getting better and better), and in September 2023 I hit my first 5k+ month (most months were around 1k, so not bad for me). BUT. The problem was it was from one web to another, lot of deadlines and non-meaningful work…
So I decided to rapidly change the course. Stepped out of this loop, go to Chiang Mai, spent most of my savings being there two months and now here we are —> creating sth like $500 in January working for clients (at best) and new thing is just starting out…
Except of this I played poker and I will continue doing so for now, as I think it could really help me to get over this “dry period” which can last for one year (or more).
Other than that, I got a 50 % stake at Child Pediatritian blog / project, where I work “for free” and we split what we make.
Its lot going on, and the biggest thing will take some time to take off, but its posibble I guess.
Point 0.
Health
Health is ok. I was working out (more or less) for last 3-4 years, last autumn when I was in Chiang Mai lost lot of progress, but should be able to get back qucikly. Will see.
Point 0.
Relationships
With friends I think I have a good relationships mostly, will see if it will differ somehow when I start this journey (I expect it so).
Romantic relationship is little different.
Well, in August we split the relationship with my former girfriend after two years. Which I feel little regrets for, bcs I feeling I was “trying hard enough” like invest the energy, time, and resources into it, and when it doesnt work, well, I dont have much to say, as I dont know what I could change.
Then there is a girl I feel something to for like… forever. We went outside and couple of times, and I was thinking its nice (even though we see the world very differenly). But then she basically ghosted me, and maybe is in some type of new relationships right now…
So well, it hurts (even though I have no idea how compatible we would be) — like hell. But I dont know, I think the protocol for situation when someone ghosting you is really just be silent, bcs whatever contact you try to make seems super needy… so well. Lets just move on with life despite this thing…
Anyway.
Point 0.
What will I do? — whats the gameplan?
After I came back from ChiangMai I created some radical changes in my life:
- Moved from big city to small city (when I am from originally) —> to have smaller expenses and get out of office with my colleague, who is good friend, but as a coworker it really sucked a lot of energy from me… Also, here I expect to have much less distraction, which seems like a perfect setup for this “seasson of work”.
- Stop actively looking for “normal” web projects and now I am starting building this thing
- Decided to give up: relationships, alcohol, vacations for most of the time so I can focus on this thing
The work project I would like to do is to be the first person (I know) in the czech republic who does an performance based leadgen marketing — when you basically do the marketing for your own money, and client pays for the leads you generate them.
But before I will jump both foots into this I will try to generate as many leads as possible for my website creation service. Not because I want to create the websites (I will outsource the whole work) but just because I want to make sure, I know how to generate the leads in a competitive niche.
Therefore my work will consist of:
- Starting a leadgen business (first phase is fixing my own leadgen)
- Client work (to keep alive)
- Work for Child pediatrian
- Poker
As you can see, its 4 things, but thats just for the start, as soon as the first thing starts getting off the ground, I will outsource (2,3) lot of things, and put much less time into 4 thing.
It will be hell of a journey.
So lets go.
