I've been on this forum for quite a while now and I think it's time to introduce myself. Firstly, to thank you guys, MJ especially and secondly because it's a must.
Before I read MJ's book I had no idea about business whatsoever and was F*cking depressed, plus jobless. Now, a year and a half later, I'm pretty confidence, I've learnt how to be a web designer and have worked for some business companies. They all paid very shit, but I got the knowledge and the experience.
Right now I'm in a situation where my parents have basically told me, you either get a "real" job or get out of here. I'm not going to quit my fastlane road that's for sure, but I'm broke and I have to get out of my parents house in a month or so. I'm 27 yo.
I was reading this awesome post by @IceCreamKid called The Ashtonising Secrets and he mentions this:
I would just like to know what that sentence exactly means. In my situation I obviously have to care about money.
BTW: This post is not about whinning. I know I can perfectly overcome this situation. Since I'm a web designer I'm right now following this awesome guide made by @SinisterLex to become a Freelance on Odesk .
Some advice is always helpful.
Thank you, guys. And I can't wait until the day that I can actually contribute to this forum in a "giving" way.
