Hi everyone! Been a while. To make a long story job I had the typical 9-5 job at a start up company as a jr software engineer. The company went under and we all lost our jobs. That was in December. I am officially broke at 35, its sad and pathetic and making me lose motivation. I have been reading some of the gold threads on this forum and im starting to get that entrepreneur spark again like I had in my 20s(With zero direction pretty much though).
I have been making websites for the past 10 years and to be honest im getting sick of it, clients haggling prices, I just dont want to deal with it anymore. Especially being a one man team and doing everything.
I spent my 20s half-a*s trying to make money, working security, construction and making websites for clients. Now my goals are way bigger since I want to travel around, meet new people, like minded people while making an income online(cliche I know). I'm at the point right now where I NEED to make money, my dads health is declining and not sure how much longer he has left, its a terrible feeling you may be homeless if your father passes away, especially at 35.
I’m looking to get into iPhone development and learn swift. They say in the programming world pretty much to find a product or idea and build that, it will make the learning process easier since you have more motivation. But I really can’t think of an app idea that I can publish to the App Store. There are so many apps out there already. The app doesn’t have to “take off” just something where you think I could get some downloads and make passive income through ads or in-app purchases.
Opinions? Thoughts? Ideas?
*Sorry for the long(vent) post. Figured I would give you all a little backstory and history, maybe you guys can point something out im missing*
