It took about 23 years to figure that out, am 27 now. Shit came easy (high IQ) so I never had to try.

you've realized nothing. What the fuck does 'apply myself' actually mean? What does 'applying' look like? Applying yourself to what? In what way? Towards what end?
Get specific and use action verbs.
Figure out what 'apply yourself' means use actual verbs that describe what the fuck you should be doing. Does that mean 'saving X amount of $' -- and then how do you earn that money or what frivolities do you sacrifice, or does that mean 'master speaking conversational Spanish to better sell to Hispanic customers' etc. etc.

I'm thinking he means he needs to get down and dirty and put in conscious effort to make something happen

I want to start an infowars type website and store for bitcoin maximalists and preppers
Post federal reserve conspiracies, big government surveillance, etc.
Get the two communities together and sell the crypto anarchy thing

>> No.16897594

>>16897474
That still means nothing does "down and dirty" mean digging ditches, running pipes, or does it mean coding the backend for some kind of online store, or does it mean writing copy for ads... OP is spouting vague
>>16897564
How? How are you going to apply that?
What is the first actual step that will exponentially increase your chances of success in this crypto-infotainment website?
Have you parked your domain name? Do you know where you're going to get your traffic from? Do you know how much advertising spend it'll take? Have you created templates for articles? Are you going to do video? What's your workflow? What type of camera and what format will it use? Do you have sufficient h264 compression or will you need to buy an outboard chip to speed up your turnarounds?
What's your revenue model? How will you avoid taxes? How will you ensure you have enough cashflow?
And most of all:
WHICH THING DO YOU DO FIRST?

Been struggling with this my whole life. The only time I truly apply myself is when it’s something interesting. In school I would get straight F’s and D’s in every class, then proceed to score the highest in the entire school on the yearly standardized tests.

Being smart and lazy is the worst combination possible

Pro tip anon, and what >>16897594 is trying to tell you: Reverse engineer your shit.
You want to start a blog and Twitter first. Alright, that's two different things that ideally will converge later and work together. But first things first.
>End goal is a succeful blog about xyz topic with at least 3 posts a week (get specific).
>Now reverse engineer that shit
>What do you need to do to get there?

Draw that shit out on paper if you have to. Start at the top (the successful blog) and work back down. In the end, you just have a concrete next step for you to take. And yes, that could be as simply as "research other blogs about my topic"

>>16897287
No, only dick suckers and brown nosing faggots make it. Motivation or whatever doesn't get you shit.

To add to this and give you another example.
I did some reverse engineering on my career. It goes basically like this:
>Imagine you most succesful, self-actualized future self in 20 years and write it down. Once there, imagine what you would have to achieve 10 years prior, and write that down. Then go back five years. Then two and a half-year - until you get to one your from today.
I actually got it further down to one month from now.

Use this template for your projects and your self. Try it.
>My most succesful, self-actualized future self in 20, 10, 5, 3, 1 year/ 6, 3, 1 month
>What I did in the 10, 5, 2 , 2 years/ 12, 6, 3, 1 month leading up to that.
>My reality right now
