Hey! Welcome to this community of people who aspire to take control of their lives, stop doom-scrolling and procrastination to use the internet as a tool for learning, helping people and making money, spending as little time online as possible.
I created this group because I struggled with digital addiction for about 21 years after a concrete block crushed my spine when I was just a schoolkid.
Due to my trauma, I became severely addicted to video games like Counter Strike and World of Warcraft. It was difficult to move around in a wheelchair while getting bullied at school, so I found the perfect escape from my life. It was so bad that I sometimes even peed my pants because I couldn't stop playing.
As a result of this addiction, I rarely exercised my body to increase my chances of walking again. I didn't go outside or develop my social skills. Not a single girl wished to talk to me, except in the online world.
I couldn't hide from my problems forever, so I eventually fell into depression and came close to ending my life. Fortunately, I managed to overcome it by accepting myself and realizing that I'm the creator of my own life.
Although I regret wasting a lot of time on anime and other forms of entertainment, I never regret watching Naruto, as it played a big role in keeping me from giving up (I even made a video about it).
Fast-forward a couple of years, I had transformed into a joyful, independent person with many talents. I loved going to the gym to build muscle, driving my own car, studying at a university and playing the guitar. I realized that I could make a huge impact on other people's lives.
However, there was one problem: I was still addicted to digital devices. Maybe I was okay for a month or two, but suddenly found myself binging on a new TV show or anime again, losing all progress. So it took years of trial and error to actually become free of it.
My first successful periods without the addiction empowered me to start a blog and a YouTube channel, write a book about my life, gain enough strength to walk with crutches, face my fears to sing/speak on stage, and spend a night with a woman for the first time in my life.
But it was only after completely eliminating all mindless entertainment from my life that I attained the confidence to attract a long-term girlfriend, and the focus to create a stable income through my business, allowing me to rent a nice apartment for both of us.
I'm still on the path to becoming a successful entrepreneur and content creator, doing what I actually love the most, which is coaching and helping others live their best lives.
In this group, I'll be sharing everything that has helped me reach this point in my life. I believe we can accomplish much more together than on our own.
So let's start with introducing ourselves! Please share your 1) name, 2) location and 3) current goals.
