Hi Everyone,

I'm currently battling some serious self-doubt. I will try not to make this long...…

After 12 years of trying to be financially independent, it's just not working. I can provide details if needed, but not sure how important those are.

At what point do we just self-reflect and accept who we are?

The most success I've ever had was when I was a worker for someone. Perhaps, that is my path and maybe that's okay????

I've pivoted, shifted mind-set, took risks, and although I enjoyed the process.....I need to start being real.

I'm not sure if I even know what I'm looking for communicating this, but I always seem to get some good advice from the community.

Like I said, I can provide details if needed but unsure it's even relevant.
