Hi Folks,
I joined the forum just a few days ago. I had read TMF more than a year ago. I followed @MJ DeMarco on twitter when I had read TMF and to my surprise he followed me back...
Thanks MJ.
About me, well, I am from Kolkata, India. I quit a very high paying consulting job back in 2011 to "work on my own". I started a forum around my work skills back then with a vague idea of making money with advertising. But life kinda took over and due to housing, debt etc I switched to freelancing full time. I did very well in Freelancing though and have been a top rated Freelancer in my niche (forums, specifically the very software this community runs on) for a very long time now.
But over the last year or so, the trading dollars for time has been getting to me... I created a software plugin, started a Blog, in addition to my own forum which has grown decently. At this point I guess, I know I can make fastlane type of money if I "commit" fully to one of these. But something holds me back... I wonder if any of you have ever thought of, "Is this what I want to keep doing for a long time?" I wonder sometimes if I am just being silly or am I really going to be making a mistake.
I would love to help as much as I can and also ask for help with you very fine folks...
Sorry if this got long...
Cheers,
- Sadik
