What about actually just remaining committed to one thing, that type of focus? I feel like a different person every day / week. As if my brain just completely resets and everything I thought I planned last week now seems foreign and I

I am a lawyer. I've practiced on my own, but my area is pretty saturated and it's discouraging. But I need to get into the mindset of slicing a niche and sticking with it for a while and try to become the top expert within it. Wo

I am more interested in the process of finding and selecting a niche in general, how did you do that? How did you stay committed all those years unsure about whether working in your niche would even be viable?

You are fortunate to have a set of skills in demand so you can just pick up gigs. Unfortunately I became a lawyer, which is probably the most useless thing to study; should have learned HVAC repair or something.

New York, don't fall into this scam trap. You don't need to publish unless you want your LLC to sue or defend itself in a suit. If you're bootstrapping, don't waste money publishing, you can always publish before suing o
