The Pilgrimage to Motion

I am finally back to my blog. I fell off for a bit there, been trying to come up with a business idea that has promise and that I want to pursue. I have nothing, I’ve decided to stop forcing it and to let it come naturally while I do other things. First I am sharpening my coding skills because I will need them regardless.

I have been working on a conference paper for most of the day so far. I am starting to get close to finishing it. I ate lunch with my boy and am headed to a seminar. Little related to motion is happening today, need to get this paper done ASAP so I can get back to life. Would like to get something started this weekend.

I am having the first inklings of motion. I’ve done some selling and went through my accounts and have “made” ~$2,500 in the last two days. This is just from selling things that have been sitting around my apartment and cashing out on crypto. I am tired, woke up late and am having some uncertainty. I am also going to start losing weigh again, I miss looking decent, even my face is kind of fat. This is some motion, I have a few more things to sell but after that I am not sure. This is a start.

It’s been a slow day, I’ve lifted and gone for a run as well as done some reading, worked on my conference paper and gone through some more of a course for Bubble.io. The day isn’t over but I have play-offs for my bowling league at 7:30pm. I hope I can finish what I need to finish today. I want to become the ultimate human, for now I am pursuing discipline and money and once I have freedom I want to pursue more creative pursuits like piano and drawing. I also plan on learning at least one more language. I’ve also decided to challenge myself starting in March, to make an extra $1,000 a month on top of my student stipend by any means necessary. March will be easy but after that we’ll see. Incase I don’t pose again today here is a quote:

Just woke up from a 4 hour nap like a G. I ate 4-5 of the new golden Oreos with lemon filling and then drank a smoothie with spinach, kale and mango to cancel it out. They were mid. I am now building a website application, I will reveal what it is once it is completed. Need to start building things so this is step once. I am using Bubble.io because it is easier to learn which is better for me to create a proof of concept. I also think that coding will be phasing out in the near future, at least the stuff that people already do day in and day out. Additionally I have been ignoring an upcoming conference paper all day. That will be tomorrows problem.

I have just decided that I need to be sharing a daily quote:

Idea doesn’t have enough definition. She did give me some motion though. Gave me insight into another potential mentor in tech entrepreneurship who could also provide me with partners if i need. Need to keep searching, need to commit to action. This was a good first step.

I have a mentor meeting with a professor from an entrepreneurship program at my school, hopefully she can help me get some motion. We are going to discuss my current idea which aimed to solve the issue of job searchers having very low response rates on their job applications. I am not totally set on this idea but I need to do something. My biggest issue is that I am constantly reading, thinking, and planning but spend little time actually doing SOMETHING. I am setting a goal for myself now, I will be able to provide for myself by the end of this upcoming summer and will drop out. A object at rest will stay at rest until acted upon by an outside force. I need to shake things up.

This is where I will be documenting my journey from engineering phd candidate to entrepreneur. I had an epiphany recently, I have no motion. As much as I wanted to believe it, engineering will not provide for me the life I desire. The pay plateaus quickly and another thing, you have to work 40+ hours a week for it. This isn’t going to work for me, I have other things I’d like to do and I have people to take care of.
