Similar story for me in 2017-19 era. Ran out of money never thought I would work again, picked up a consulting contract, parlayed it into more, have since succeeded to the point of being discreet about it. I've come to believe opportunity finds us.
If you can be fit and pursue arts or hobbies, you're already doing what people think they need to be wealthy to do, and most wealthy people are boring anyway.
Run a CRM pipeline to get a job and you will have one in a couple of months, then use the stability as a way to find customers for your next thing. If you can't run a pipeline for yourself, you won't be able to do it for a startup anyway. You're fine. Good luck.
- jumparoundwords 2y agoHighly agree with your comment, just wondering what you mean with "CRM pipeline to get a job"?
- motohagiography 2y agoit's the way to get a job, i didn't think there was another way. the way a sales funnel works is you start with a pile of company names as "leads" you have or want to work for. they are in a spreadsheet that has the columns "company"," applied", "contacted", "responded" "interview1" "interviewN" "offer" "closed" "declined" sort the companies in order of preference and approach them in that order giving the ones you really want to work for a small head start over the others. you figure out how to contact each one of them and spend your days moving each one through the stages in the spreadsheet and adding to the companies column until your situation changes. that's how people who get multiple offers get them. they use this to make them happen. if you have 10-20+ companies, there's always something you can be doing to get one of them over the line. I used the streak crm as a gmail plugin, but you can just use a spreadsheet.
