Of course, the bare problem within this problem is that one chases the newest thing and never completes the older thing. If that’s you, you’ve fallen victim to the shiny object syndrome.You never see any substantial results after your initial efforts. Eventually, you interpret this lack of result as a lack of ability on your part. And maybe you even throw the towel in all together.

We are constantly in a state of searching for the answers, and we never commit to one path.Let me help you think about your goals.
