That is me 100%. I have bought so many courses and only finished a few.
I actually sat down and evaluated why I do this on the weekend and I believe it is because my "Why" has never been strong enough.
I got into AWAI because I wanted to have something to do in retirement and maybe earn a little extra money, so I was never really committed.
Now I really need the money and have let opportunities slip away.
Hopefully, with a new attitude and understanding, I can stay committed.
