Can you guys relate? (M27)

I’m 27, and for the last 7–8 years I’ve lived off my own work, mainly through two businesses that I operated for around 5–6 years.

So I know I can commit. I know I can work hard. But for the last 1–2 years, I feel like I’ve been everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

I get a new idea, become obsessed with it, do a bunch of research, validate it, buy the domain, build it, create the brand, sometimes even semi-launch it. Then right when it should become real, I start finding 1,000 reasons why it won’t work.

Then the excitement disappears, and I move on to a new idea.

The frustrating part is that I feel like if I had just committed to even one of my “bad” ideas and pushed it properly, I would probably be further than I am now.

Has anyone else gone through this? Is there a name for this pattern? And how do you break out of constantly starting but not fully following through?
