So, I'm in a very weird sticky situation & I need help or some second opinions because my head is about to explode with panic & stress....
I'll give you a quick rundown.
Background story: Grew up in dysfunctional household. Have a horrible abusive father that pretty much didn't do shiet for me and was just abusive. At age of 19 I started my first real service business online which is a cleaning company. It took alot of work from me. So much to learn. I learned everything from scratch.... hiring contractors, managing contractors, advertising, seo, adwords, accounting, everything you name it.
Made lots of mistakes as well from blowing money in vegas to all types of shenanigans that slowed down my growth but all lessons learned
Where I am now: Fast forward 2 years later and I'm 21 years old. My business is automated by VAs but unfortunately I only net max about 1k/mo after expenses in my pocket. This business taught me alot but have no passion to continue it nor do I have the time. Also 1k isnt much especially in a city like Los Angeles.
THE CRAZY EMERGENCY I NEED HELP WITH: About 6 months back, my father kicked me out of the blue. And had no where to go but stay temporarily at a cousin house. I worked my a$$ off until and started putting together an seo agency since I realized this would be the fastest way to make some $$ to move out. just 3-5 seo clients would mean I can live on my own in an expensive city like los angeles. I did do a couple one time projects for clients which let me save about 7-8k fast in the bank. Keep in mind I was starting from scratch with barely any money in savings (Yea I know I f*cked up in my earlier years while trying to figure out this whole business & money stuff and not having saved correctly)
Right now I'm back in my house. My father is out of the country & doesn't know I'm at the house with my mom. He comes back this august or september.
So I have a very limited time to make it work and actually get my own place. (Also dont have my own car)
Between now (May) & August I have to make atleast 3k/mo after taxes minimum to afford living on my own.
What would you do?
Do I continue focusing 100% of my time on getting atleast 3-5 seo clients and go balls to the wall, finger crossed I get those clients before end of summer? (I start mass cold calling hard next week + network event meetups & other things)
I'm also thinking out of 2 weeks of the month doing some sort of uber or ubereats and the other 2 weeks fully on business. That'd make me an extra 1k/mo to save in the meantime. Maybe I'll save about 3k by august if I do uber on the side and make 1k/mo from it
I did the math for uber . One full week would maybe be about 1k-1200 on 50-60 hours of work. Then after taxes, gas, & car rental expense I'm left with like $500 for the week.
TIME IS SUPER LIMITED &SO I HAVE TO ACT FAST.
What do you guys recommend?
