Chapter 1: A New Beginning

In April 2023, I made my debut as a writer on Medium, marking the start of my journey as a content creator. Previously, I operated a health consultancy, which required frequent interactions and collaboration with clients while delivering top-notch services to address their health concerns.

Life often teaches us through trial and error, guiding us to discover what truly aligns with our passions.

I am not the most outgoing person, and I often struggle in social situations. While I once aimed to cultivate a network of friends and professional connections, I frequently felt let down by the complexities of interpersonal relationships. I sold various health products, but faced challenges with pricing and supply chain management due to limited control over the products. Although I assisted many clients in connecting with skilled doctors and securing effective treatments, leading to numerous success stories, I also encountered individuals who viewed me with skepticism, stemming from a lack of trust. Despite my efforts, my consultancy did not yield significant financial rewards and demanded considerable time and energy.

Ultimately, I came to the realization that this career was not the right fit for me. I longed for a role that I could manage independently, free from the need for constant face-to-face interactions.

So, in 2024, I made the pivotal decision to leave my medical consulting career behind and dive into the world of online business. I was resolute in my quest to reach my financial aspirations, even if it required a decade of hard work. Despite my struggles with English as a non-native speaker, I recognized that a change was necessary, and the moment to act was now!

Medium embodies a space where authenticity thrives through genuine narratives. In a landscape filled with successful entrepreneurs flaunting their achievements (I sincerely hope their success is genuine and that dreamers like me can also realize their aspirations), I ponder if there exists a realm untouched by impatience. It's essential to discern, reflect, and then make informed choices!

After extensive research into various online business ventures on Medium and other platforms, can you believe it? I spent nearly two years vigilantly observing and deliberating over which path to pursue! Some might find that excessive, but I’m sure there are others like me who feel paralyzed by indecision, fear, anxiety, and the habit of postponing their first steps.

We often find ourselves grappling with internal conflicts. Our perceived adversaries are not external but rather stem from within. A lack of decisive action and persistent overthinking can lead to heightened frustration, diminished self-worth, and deepening feelings of despair. That’s why I’m writing this today. I MUST embark on my journey of taking action.

I refuse to lead a life teetering on the edge of obscurity. A complete transformation is necessary for me to embrace a new and fulfilling existence.

You cannot expect a different life while engaging in the same activities.
