I'm 25 and live precariously off of the meager income from my own projects.
My goal is to grow my income so that I can "finally do what I want", but sometimes I wonder if I'm squandering my life in a delusion.
Recently, my safety-net project suffered a catastrophic collapse out of nowhere and now I'm quickly trying to rebuild it.
Over time, an increasing amount of my energy is spent warding off the specter of self-doubt.
- jborden13 13y agoI read somewhere that it takes 15 years to become a professional at anything. So when I started, I told myself that I had 15 years to get it right, and to not give up before then. Has served me well, as I have improved significantly over time and feel the odds of when I get to the 15th year, I will be pleased with the outcome and with the journey.
- mercer 13y agoI'm moving towards doing more of my own projects, but for the past two year's I've been quite happy with contracting three to five days a week. It's harder to work on your own stuff when you're working for someone else in an office for more than three days, but it's a good way to save up some money and it's nice for a change.
