Thanks. Let me think about it. Luckily I save some money for this tough time. Because of Covid situation in my city now is quite serious, it is hard to find a new job or start a business because everybody is under lockdown, waiting for vaccines. However, this is a good time to stay focus and think about all possibilities that I can do.First things first, you have to be able to take care of basic needs. You get to decide what that means and how to do it, but it probably means getting a job. You decide whether to take care of family or not, but I'm guessing that is likely a yes also.
So get as high paying job as you can with as flexible hours as possible. You got to start somewhere, so don't be afraid to get one job, but keep looking for another better job that will fit this criteria.
Use any extra time or money you have towards building a new business. Once your business can support your family, quit the job.
Also, one thing I always asked myself when trying to decide what job or business to get into. What kind of conversations will I have everyday in this role?
I'm an extrovert. I knew I didn't want to take on the kinds of jobs that meant I'd never talk to anybody. But I also didn't want to take any jobs on where the conversations were going to be completely boring to me. As long as I'm having interesting conversations, I generally like what I'm doing for a living. This worked out pretty well for me, as I've enjoyed pretty much everything I've done for the last 25 years.
Hope that helps.
