So I've recently been featured on Huffington Post because of my work on my YouTube Channel . I'm also getting a lot of attention from people who like my ideas and are eager to get more content from me. In addition to that I made my first $20 for myself by providing designs to someone and now people are starting to seek my services. I've decided to cancel some of my other business ideas and follow this trail of money.
I'd like to build a nice portfolio of designs and then advertise myself to larger people/organizations interested in my services. It's a scrappy beginning but thank f*ck it's something. I've never made money as an entrepreneur for the past 3 years and finally I'm getting SOMETHING. I want to share my experience on YouTube but nobody will be impressed with $20 hahaha. I've also considered ending my YouTube channel because I honestly don't see it going anywhere, sure I've received a lot of compliments and attention from it but 1. I have no more material/business experiences to share, 2. I could document my "journey" but I actually did that before and nobody watched and 3. I don't see how it will bring in any money or really impact anyone in the long term. I'll make my decision before the end of March,
In more personal news, I've been more upset than usual. There are days where I wake up and wish I could just be like a normal teenager, enjoy partying and drinking with friends and watching football and working hard to get a safe and secure job. But I just find it so difficult to live like that, I've tried it but I can't really connect with the people and it all seems so meaningless but when I look around they're all have so much fun. I feel like entrepreneurship/personal development is just my way of seeking escape from the fact that I can't be a normal person. I don't even have any hobbies outside of posting videos on YouTube and finding ways to attract money. I wonder if I left the 9-5 rat race to end up in a hamster wheel.
Regardless of my feelings, I have a family to take care off and there's still a glimmer of light and that's all I need to keep going. Even if it's fruitess at least I can respect myself for not giving in.
