You can’t be good at two things if you aren’t good at one thing first. Focus on one thing, get good at it or scrap it, go from there.

I was in your boat not too long ago. Getting a job helped. It's not great pay, but it's good pay, and the schedule gives me time to work on a project. Live cheap and use as much of that income from the job to invest into a single project, I recommend one that isn't an invention or new product. If you have a passion for something and the skills are already there to design and produce it, then by all means go for it, but it's a gamble. There is only 1 musk and 1 bezos, but there are 1,000s of people that were trying to be them when they were becoming who they are.

Get a job. Primary income is the number one source for wealth. How you’re living with no income is perplexing but not my business. A good job can give you contacts, negotiating and people skills, discipline, professionalism, time management. All important skills to learn to utilize effectively outside of your work. A lot of people on here call themselves entrepreneurs while living in their mothers basement.

adhd is also common with entrepreneur

[–] msb112@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To have an income you should pick a path:

  1. Start a small business and really invest your time and effort and be very aggressive dont stop until you make it work.

  2. Freelance but focus on one skill and work very hard to build a brand for your self.

Having lots of skills is good but not pouring your time on one path will not get you anywhere.

Very rarely do entrepreneurs start with nothing. You always need capital. You can’t ask for other people’s money, at least not easily, if you don’t have a chunk in yourself.

You gotta get a job, do it a bit and save to invest in your project.

Until the projects bring in 1-2k a month, I’d say keep the job. Job will also allow you to pull debt from the bank.

Regardless if you’re the best programmer, if you don’t have other folk (companies) that have employed / done work with you before it will be super hard to get investments as only you know your abilities.

Leverage your projects for a job, that will get you the job the fastest.

While you are working, look for a marketer. Usually IT folks suck at communicating, you may need a person to ease that for you.

If you chase 3 rabbits at once, which one do you think you will catch? None

Get a job, get your mind healthy, and work on 1 project in your time off until it is huge

[–] Insanely_ambitious@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Outstanding advice, and the wisdom you shared, "chasing three rabbits at once" is also a real motivator"

[–] ComprehensivePool901@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Me too , I'm trying to get a job and then try to get a loan for a project or get into an incubator program

[–] Dr_Greenthumb85@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Focus on 1 project Focus first on income / sales in this 1 project

Oh yes, get a job

[–] OptimisticByChoice@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What do you think you should do? Your gut is telling you something.

[–] DarkMatterWanderer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You need to take a step back and assess your life and what you’re doing. Sounds like you have a lot going on but nothing to show for it which means you’re just wasting time and energy. Ever heard of the phrase, “a jack of all trades, but a master of none”? Sounds a bit like you, so take a minute and prioritize your projects, maybe focus on just one for a while and see what happens. Putting all your energy into one thing is a lot better than putting some of it into multiple projects.

[–] 2huskys@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You can only focus on one thing at a time

[–] scrapdrilla@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get a job where it’s easy to focus on your projects

I aim to work for myself full time by next year I’ve got a job where I sit in my car for 8-10 hours a day on my phone. People hate it because it’s boring . I love it becsuse I csn focus on my business . I learn everything I need to know during this time. I do scrap, waste and cleaning services . I find scrap and waste jobs all over Facebook all day . I watch videos on new tools im buying and looking to use and learning how to use them and what’s best to use . I find this the best use of my time and keeps me tied into my private business

[–] Krakens_Rudra@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You got too many side hustles but no real job first. Get the main job and then invest in side hustles!

[–] analfarmer99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Consider streamlining your efforts by focusing on one project to develop specialized skills and secure a stable income. Juggling multiple projects may dilute your focus and hinder skill growth.

[–] midnight-sins@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You’ve got everything except a job… there’s your problem

[–] Pure-Bumblebee-6616@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What are your yt channels? Here you have the opportunity to share them

[–] Medic5780@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This: **"**I have too many project..." is why you're failing.

Pick ONE grow it. Then move to the next.

Good Luck! <3

[–] BeastMode111@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Can you share your projects? I'm interested in following your journey. Do you do any type of trading? Noticed your name is TraderSigma.

[–] Bitcoins4Upvotes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I will pay you 10 bucks a day if you can help me sell my stuff faster in my shop. Hell I will do $1 per purchase

[–] Itchy_Neighborhood51@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I am in a similar position to you, but found a way to optimize my time.

  1. Listen to the 4-hour work week. It'll change your mindset about time management
  2. Identify which projects have the largest toll on your mental health. Cut these out regardless of their return. A negative effect mentally will lead to a worse result in other areas
  3. Identify where most of your time is going. Is there a way to lessen this and keep the same or similar output?
  4. Find work and negotiate a deal to work part time
  5. Identify spending habits and save most of your income. I move my money to an account I cannot spend out of
  6. which skill/project has the best return? Focus on this and become an expert.

Hopefully this helps

Best Regards,
Landon

You are currently 100% a consumer. You need to switch mindsets to be a producer. When you become a producer, you can become somewhat a consumer again but never 100%

[–] f350superduty54@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Work and focus on one thing at a time, this will fall in to place faster than you can see it happening

[–] bbb18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Endeavors that don't make money are called hobbies. Get a real job or figure out something that people are willing to pay for.

[–] cas8180@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Stop being a pussy, grow the fuck up. Get a job, work your ass off. Pay your bills, do your time, start side projects in the mornings and evenings and weekends until you find something that clicks. Build that side hustle up, then it into a real business. Grow the business until you can cover your bills. Now quit your full time job that you hate. Continue to put your heart and soul into that business, scale it up. Now hire a manger and team to run the business or sell it for a fat acquisition. Now take some time off. Go enjoy life, see the world. Share this same advice with some other person. Go and start another business and do it all over again.

You’re too busy being busy that you’re not focusing on anything. Go get a job and start bringing in money. Next pick one thing and focus on it, when it’s successful start on the next, if it isn’t successful close the book on it and move to the next thing.

[–] TraderSigma@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Generally i have a project about programming but sometimes i need to learn another language for that project, what should i do

[–] Dr4WasTaken@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm a software developer, have been doing.Net (C#) for around 10 years now, it sounds like you have a focus issue

[–] ---nom---@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

18 years here, totally agree. Got to nail one thing before going onto something else.

[–] siikdUde@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
