Some years ago I started to take great interest in entrepreneurship, reading books, podcasts etc.
This of course got me to develop dreams and hopes of great fortune along with satisfaction and convenient life style.
Through the years, I developed more ideas and slowly started to back away from my IT job and executing on the ideas I had.
First I dropped to 4 days workweek with one day in which I worked on my own business, then I started freelancing and dropped to 3 days of freelance with 2 days of working on my business.
Through time (some years..) I was able to set up a blog, get 1k subscribers, record a course (which provides fantastic value), build a funnel, and launch the course.
I also developed my freelance work and now have a great job that is both interesting, developing and providing me with a nice income.
I'm thinking of what would be best perusing, considering my goals are (in the long run) to:
Now, the dilemma.
Would love to hear what you guys think.
I would also love to consult with someone to try to get a forecast on the numbers of my business venture.
So if anyone has some experience with online courses and blogs that would be great.

I'm thinking of what would be best perusing, considering my goals are (in the long run) to:
- Work on something that genuinely helps people, with people I love working with (so it doesn't really matter if I'm the CEO or the chef for that matter).
- Have control of my time, freedom, priorities (freelancing works great for me in that respect).
- Semi-retiring at 50 (which oddly enough, if I stop working on my own business, I'm almost there.. Working 3 days a week, making a fine living)
- Have high quality of life in terms of- live where I want to live, provide safety and quality education for my children etc. (This requires significant amount of money.)
Now, the dilemma.
- Keep on working on my business, developing more courses, more content and start thinking really big.something that requires years of investment in a field (internet content marketing) that all in all, I am a beginner at.
And honestly, I'm not even so sure anymore how far and how big can it get.
Being even more honest, it took me years to get to this point just to realize that this is not the smartest way to build a business (working alone, learning every step of the way through my own hands. Learn how to write, copy-write, record, edit, build a course, launch, emails, funnels, wordpress, graphics etc.)
I guess I refereed to it as a PoC until now.
I now realize I need advisers, consultants, freelancers, employees, money investments, etc.
Which, along with the thought of- "I'm not sure how big can it get",
makes me think it might not be worth it when I think of the alternative: - I currently have the option to extend my 3 days workweek to a full 5 days freelancing in a steady place.
These 5 days will generate me around 180k/ year. (I'm not US based, so this is slightly less than it sounds).
Like I said, the job is good, it allows me to develop, and in the longer term, open doors to join a start-ups with stock options etc.
This kind of money will also allow me to invest in different channels and possibly making some more income.
Would love to hear what you guys think.
