“95% of our society — the ‘mediocre majority’ — fail, time and time again, to start exercise routines, quit smoking, improve their diets, stick to a budget, or any other life habit that would improve their quality of life.

A few years ago, I started to make a new online course.

Looking back, I’m embarrassed about how much I struggled with it.

I re-wrote the outline for the course at least a dozen times. (Like, fully-fledged outlining and drafting, several pages each time). I renamed it half a dozen times. I kept redoing everything, over and over.

After over 6 months, I was still on the drawing board.

I kept looking at other online courses by “better” entrepreneurs. I saw their price — $1997 or something — and I keep thinking to myself how I’ll never be able to charge that much. I imagine these writers earning thousands of dollars a day.

Then I looked at my own day’s earnings and felt sad.

What did I do about it all this?
