QUESTION | Hi Dean,

I’m 20 years old, graduated from a business school in the Netherlands, and currently working hard at a startup & setting up my own business. I’ve read a lot of self-improvement and inspiring content. What I always see is this ‘magic moment’ in which people turn their life around in one direction. There’s so many things I want to do that I find it very hard to focus on the things I have to do now. My question to you is, have you experienced this as well? You have a lot of ambition and different projects going on, do you ever feel overwhelmed by your own ideas? What did you do to solve it? —Question submitted by: Mike W.
