3 signs you’re not afraid to start... but you’re afraid to stick.

Last week, I sat alone in a coffee shop.

Just me, my brown notebook, and a question I couldn’t shake:

“Why do I always end up starting over?”

It wasn’t the first time I asked myself this.

But something about journaling it… pen to paper… pulled the truth out of hiding.

I realized I’m not scared of trying new things.

I’m scared of sticking with them.

I love Day 1.

New tools. New ideas. New energy.

But Day 14?

When results are invisible…

When the dopamine wears off…

When it’s just me and the silence?

That’s when I start tinkering.

Redefining my niche.

Switching platforms.

Rewriting the plan.

It feels productive.

It looks like strategy.

But it’s just clever quitting.

And here’s the brutal part:

Most aspiring solopreneurs don’t struggle with starting.

They struggle with staying.

Staying focused.

Staying consistent.

Staying when the results haven’t caught up to the effort.

Sound familiar?

If yes, here are 3 signs you’re not stuck at the beginning…

You’re stuck in the cycle of never sticking.

1. You’ve “planned” your next move for 2 weeks... but haven’t shown up for 7 days straight.

Starting gives you a hit.

Sticking gives you nothing, at first.

But that boring, invisible grind?

That’s where transformation begins.

2. You tweak your niche or tactic every time momentum dips.

You don’t need a new path.

You need to walk the old one long enough to see where it leads.

“Pivots” feel smart.

But most are just rebranded exits.

3. You confuse burnout with boredom.

You’re not exhausted.

You’re resisting the plateau.

But the plateau is where everyone disappears.

And where the pros quietly keep showing up.

If this hit you in the gut, good.

Because you’re not lazy.

You’re not broken.

You’re just addicted to novelty…

Like most of us.

But those who actually build?

They master the art of boring.

They pick something.

Then they keep showing up, long after it stops being sexy.

And that’s when results finally show up too.

So, if you’ve been stuck in start-over mode lately…

Write this on your mirror:

“Sticking is the real start.”

Let’s break the cycle.

To your growth,
