How to deal with the pressure?

[kcaps]

Hi,

about 6 months ago I started a own small business, because I got tired of the job I had at this time and because no one hired me (lack of degrees and work experience).

All this started when I was 17 years old and started my education as a car mechanic. Almost 4 years later after the graduation I worked here and there as a mechanic.

It was boring as hell and I decided to stop working as a car mechanic, so I started to work at different companies, mostly in the Industry, with night-shifts to get some money.

I noticed that this isn't something for me, so I was workless for around 2 years.

Since I was a PC enthusiast anyway I decided to work hard on that. 3 Years back I was going to a PC shop for a job interview, 1 day later my work started.

Now fast-forward to February 2018 my boss decided to quit the shop and re-open it at his home.
During the time I worked for him, I had the idea of a own small business about IT Security in my mind, since my boss at this time wasn't really good at this and was pretty ignorant.

So I opened my own small business. Everything was set up and ready to get customers, 2 months after the opening I had 2 cases of death and I basically didn't do anything with my business until last week.

When I opened my business I was getting a 'deadline', that means: The Job Center (Which is giving me welfare at the moment, since my business doesn't generate any money) set a deadline for 1st September 2018.

Now, with exactly 4 weeks left, I kinda struggle and don't know how to deal with it.
The 2 cases of death put me off pretty hard the last months and I did nothing with my business, but I am back on the track and now I am trying to make something out of it, if at all.

I also had a call with my old boss today (we are still in good contact and kinda friends) and he said that he might work together with me in the near future and redirect security related stuff to me, while he is still repairing PC's or Servers.

So, yeah. I don't ask for 'spoon-feed' help but maybe a little push into the right direction or some heads-up tips.

It doesn't need to be related with my business, but maybe someone has some tips on how to use my skillset 'better' and generate at least a bit of income. That's my current skillset:

— Penetrationtesting
— Server installation and hardening
— Malware reverse engineering
— Digital forensic

Thank you very much!

Hope my English is understandable, if not, just ask away if there is something unclear
