New understanding

There's a clear pattern with me and money/work where I'll get pissed off and look for the path of least resistance. I get impatient and switch lanes and the grass looks greener.

This is the default mental process of most people.
Realizing that you are caught in this cycle is the first step toward breaking out of it.

I ran the numbers with the rate I was taking on new customers exterior cleaning and I was headed for 300 pretty comfortably in 6 months. That would be a monthly turnover of 6k with just window cleaning.
This was from doing about 2hrs door to door a day as well.
 
Had some big self realisations over the last couple days.

Contacted a singer to hopefully put a set list together.
The other guitarist has stopped responding, may try to contact again.
Had three people ask about lessons but they all stopped responding after I suggested times and dates to book a lesson.
 
Very fun jam learned some singing pointers too, spent the rest of the day rock climbing and hanging out with my stoner friends.
Heard my family member is progressing again so I'll be able to visit and have a good chance of seeing him now he's leaving his room.

I want to develop my conviction so I can see more clearly across the valley of despair.
I've achieved this in the gym by just turning up for over half my life now, I worked through loads of injuries and sticking points and continue to adapt my training and never considered that it was an option to not only train but to incrementally push myself each session.
I'm also using Ravi's inner game framework and making sure I don't neglect my social life.
 
A few updates:

Dating:

Added a couple new photos to my profiles and have had a slight increase in the attractive-ness of the women I'm matching with.
Slept with three new women, two over valentine's weekend. Tried out feeld as well where I met one of them.
Nice experience and actually not bad given I'm at home and using the free versions of the apps.
One of them I was open to pursuing something more meaningful but she said she didn't want to.
This is a low priority for me until I get my own place.

Money:

Started the exterior cleaning business back up because it's simple and I know how to make it work, what I'm changing and how to keep myself from burning out.
Big job booked this weekend and a round starting to develop.
Today is my last day at work and I have a cash buffer to where it's impossible for me to fail.

Health/fitness:

Set several pr's and now I'm doing some more athletic type training

Next to blast the business to where I'm rich.
 
Business:

I've hit my ten customers per week goal for the last two weeks and landed two big pressure washing jobs.
Two of my new customers are massive houses so proce-wise basically the same as two normal large houses each.

My pressure washing equipment gets mogged on these bigger jobs but it's still worth it money-wise in this building phase.
In future I'm going to expand into windows with my equipment purchases and turn down these big pressure washing jobs for now.

I have a lot of head room to increase my door to door sales as well if needed.

I'm experimenting with a cleaning planner app as well now to organise my round more.

Dating:

Saw a new girl this Thursday, went back to hers after going out for food. Had a good time, she came twice in about two minutes from oral which is a first.

Gym:

With the big jobs I've only been to the gym once this week.
I hit an easy 100kg overhead press, failed 105kg after losing balance but then hit a nice rep pr with 80kg
