Yes, I've been depressed for many years after I dropped out of college, because life as a wannabe entrepreneur was much harder than I imagined.Has anybody else gone through something similar? What did you do to save yourself? How do you choose among all these possible avenues? How do you find what you like and be successful at it?
What saved me was to just keep going. I tried idea after idea after idea after idea and then suddenly something worked and I built on that. What helped was staying within one area (ecommerce/online marketing in my case), so my skills and insights improved from idea to idea.
Its not about finding something you like. I dont especially like what I do. All that talk about following your passion etc is bullshit.
You need to find a way to create value. Once you did that for the first time and know the feeling, you will like to create value and with time become successful at it, no matter the specific product or service you're working on.
