Hang in there. Get a job. Figure out the next steps.The execution and release of my game ended up being a giant failure. Total sales amounted to around $35.
Business is not always straightforward.
Most important thing from moments like this is to take away lessons learned that can be applied to the next at bat. Don't find yourself in a rut making the same mistakes repeatedly.
You paid $25,000 to learn these lessons, which hopefully will make them sink in. Cheaper than a college tuition.
If you're like me, you can read all the advice in the world, but it doesn't really stick until you learn it the hard way. But then once it's learned and not forgotten.
My birthday is coming up soon, and I’m the closest to homelessness I’ve ever been.
Nah, you're just broke. You've got options and aren't going to be homeless.
In the meantime, I’ve applied to places like Buc-ee’s (popular gas station / food chain) and H-E-B (a huge grocery chain) and got rejected. Wild. This market is garbage and I can’t even get hired to clean crappers.
I laugh every time I shop at the local target, when I remember how much they missed out by not hiring me for that entry level job 20 years ago. F*ck 'em.
There's plenty of jobs out there, you'll find one.
