For me, the cause of burnout was working for someone else instead of being an owner of the output of my labor. It feels totally different.

- cosmedev 5y agoHow did you transition from working for someone else to working for yourself? I been trying to find a way to do it for sometime now, but I'm still not skilled, savvy, consistent, etc. enough to make it work.
- errantmind 5y agoI quit my previous job and took some time to unwind (several months). Then I started making products and putting them out there. One had some success. I'm working on more products now. I quickly realized 'doing' is the only thing that matters, not 'ideas' nor 'thinking about doing'
- cosmedev 5y agoThank you for replying, so I assume you have savings to be able to quit before you started making money, how much time did you have in terms or money? how do you promote the products that you make?
- errantmind 5y agoI had a lot saved, multiple years of 'runway' by living way below my means for many years. I promoted them wherever the people hung out, like particular subreddits with high concentrations of my target audience. There is no guarantee it works, but life has been better since I started down this path.
