I'm 30. Starting over (again).
I recently turned 30.
And as I announced it publicly on my socials and youtube I'm walking down the path to $83k/month by Q2 2026 by doing things differently.
Which means I have to build things up again.
The reason it is hard to reinvent yourself as you grow older is that your past mathematically gets heavier.
Every day that passes reinforces the identity you're building.
In Matrix, Morpheus says to Neo:
We never free a mind once it's reached a certain age. It's dangerous, the mind has trouble letting go.
I believe that being able to reinvent yourself and restart is the key to anything you want to achieve.
You need to keep a fresh perspective, that is anchored in reality. Not in past events that don't exist anymore.
For the founder, it’s always Day One.

If you're not where you want to be. It means you are not the person who lives at this stage.
You have to get rid of the current self and go back to Day 1.
However, you have to be careful not to fall in the shiny object syndrome trap.
How to reinvent yourself without falling in the shiny object syndrome
You can't build a 50-story building with the foundations of a 5-story building.
The road to $100k/year isn't the same as $1M/year. And it's not just 10x longer.
It can even take the same amount of time, people and calories.
So before you start anything, you need to understand the foundations of the thing you're building.
Because climbing up the wrong mountain only leads to having to get off of it to then start climbing the right one.
Don't get me wrong, you often need to go through different hills before you reach the summit of the right mountain.
The shiny object syndrome usually kicks in when we lack clarity.
It's an emotion that gives us the illusion of fast results, fast status, fast money.
So one has to ask themselves:
"Would I do it if I had all the status and money I needed?"
When you get those out of the way, that's where you know what you need to focus on.
P.S.
I'm documenting the road to $1M/year visually and daily on a new IG account.
