Ok so this might be a long post.
I've tried my hand at freelancing lead generation and just couldn't get myself to go out and sell my services. I guess I'm too scared of sales. Too scared to go talk to people about myself. I've always been an introvert and an expert procrastinator.
So now I've sort of "given up" the idea of working for myself now and am working towards getting a web development job for now. I started learning HTML and CSS, and now onto Javascript.
But after reading through this thread I'm starting to second guess that decision. I really WANT to work for myself but the hardest part is the procrastination and fear of selling (especially cold calling).
Last time I cold called someone I got sweaty and hung up the phone immediately when they answered!
I WANT to have freedom. I WANT to work for myself. I DON'T want to work a 9-5 job.
I got laid off from my previous restaurant job due to the pandemic and my family is pressuring me to get new skills to land a better job, but I don't want a job. I like being at home and doing what I want on my own time.
I don't know if this would be right for me. I tend not to put in the work necessary to see something through. At least I'm self aware enough to know that I guess.
What do you guys think?
Maybe a job is the best thing for me at this point so I don't invest time and money into a program only to ditch it later on.
Is Fox's program different? I know you have to put in the work yourself but I feel like I need some accountability unlike other courses.
